The reader
I read the Elder Futhark, the oldest runic alphabet, carved across the Germanic world from around the 2nd century onward. I start from the sources: the rune poems, the inscriptions, and the Eddic poetry that keeps Odin's winning of the runes alive.
The sources give us the names and the imagery. They don't give us a complete manual for divination, and anyone who says otherwise is selling something. So when I read for you, I'll tell you what is attested and what is my own interpretation. I think you deserve to know the difference.
Where the name comes from
I know that I hung, on a wind-rocked tree,nine whole nights, with a spear wounded,and to Odin offered, myself to myself;on that tree, of which no one knowsfrom what root it springs.
The word rune itself carries two meanings in the old Germanic languages: a letter, and a secret.
