Runes (Proto-Norse: ᚱᚢᚾᛟ (runo), Old Norse: rún) are the letters in a set of related alphabets known as runic alphabets, which were used to write various Germanic languages before the adoption of the Latin alphabet and for specialised purposes thereafter. The Scandinavian variants are also known as futhark or fuþark (derived from their first six letters of the alphabet: F, U, Þ, A, R, and K); the Anglo-Saxon variant is futhorc or fuþorc (due to sound changes undergone in Old English by the names of those six letters).
Runology is the study of the runic alphabets, runic inscriptions, runestones, and their history. Runology forms a specialised branch of Germanic linguistics.
The earliest runic inscriptions date from around 150 AD. The characters were generally replaced by the Latin alphabet as the cultures that had used runes underwent Christianisation, by approximately 700 AD in central Europe and 1100 AD in northern Europe. However, the use of runes persisted for specialized purposes in northern Europe. Until the early 20th century, runes were used in rural Sweden for decorative purposes in Dalarna and on Runic calendars.
This is part of a series of 4 brief videos to help newcomers to runes memorize their meanings. This video series should help you get on your feet so you can start reading the runes after watching this series, with no book in hand. Future videos will include some reading methods, once you have the meanings down. The blog including the link to all 4 videos is located at: http://www.donnaleigh.com/apps/blog/show/40667462 These meanings are not complete, and I do not include the rich history that comes with runes. The viewer is encouraged to continue their studies on the runes to continue to learn more. This series is intended to inspire so you feel capable of giving them a go.

Dr. Jackson Crawford introduces the Younger Futhark, the runic alphabet that was actually in use during the Old Norse period, and offers a brief tutorial on which letters represent which sounds in Old Norse.

Les runes sont un outil ancestral tiré de l'alphabet éponyme. Plusieurs grands peuples les utilisèrent avec plus ou moins de variantes dans les symboles. Que savait-on voir dans les Runes? Beaucoup de choses semble-t-il et avec beaucoup de précision. Thierry Rodhan nous explique dans cette première partie les bases de cet art divinatoire pas comme les autres... Bonne vidéo!

I know myself hanging there
For nice icy nights
Facing the endless darkness around me
Wounded by my own spear
On the wind cold tree
I am Odin - Hallowed by my own rite
A tree unknown the roots be sprouts
Lets my life slowly fade
From a bough of Yggdrasil I hung
Committed to my fate
Delivered to the fright
Of endless ice and night
I had to gaze into the misty world
Of Niflheim - the dire northern frost empire
In my self chosen solitude
Runes you will reveal
In the dust of ancient times
Remember my sacrifice
When I hung for these nine nights
Runes they were concealed
In the dust of ancient times
I died to be reborn
When I suffered these nine nights
When I begun to grow
Evanescent by pain
I sunk from the tree with a sigh
The knowledge of the dead I learnt
Cause only cruelty can forge
