Runes were used as a magic system by ancient Germanic peoples. They were primarily divinatory but could also be used in active magic. For example: one could could create a simple bindrune of “*Fehu” (ᚠ) and “*Wunjo” (ᚹ) for Wealth and Joy, respectively. Also, runes could be used as a writing system. In England, Anglo-Saxon runes were used until Cnut the Great established the Old English version of the Latin Alphabet. They were used until the 19th Century in Iceland, mainly when carving. The Elder Futhark was the first set of runes to be used and had 24 runes. It evolved into the Anglo-Saxon Futhorc and Younger Futhark, the former in England and the latter in Scandinavia and Iceland. Younger Futhark evolved into Medieval Runes, which developed into Dalecarlian Runes. Some Heathens or Pagans, myself included, still use them for magical purposes. Usually Elder Futhark is used for this due to being Pre-Christian but any of them work. Urban Dictionary
