In medieval sources, notably the Poetic Edda, the Sigrdrífumal
mentions "victory runes" to be carved on a sword, "some on the
grasp and some on the inlay, and name Tyr twice."
In early modern and modern times, related folklore and
superstition is recorded in the form of the Icelandic magical
staves. In the early 20th century, Germanic mysticism coins new
forms of "runic magic", some of which were continued or developed
further by contemporary adherents of Germanic Neopaganism.
Words of Power, written in Runic script, upon a piece of jewelry
such as an amulet, following a specific Nordic ceremony, can impart
certain magicks, to include strength, wisdom, love, wealth, luck,
avoidance of harm and stamina upon the bearer of the amulet.
Disclaimer:
Do not approach this series lightly. If this were only a 500'
bushwhack, I would call it hellish. The roots will trip you, the
branches will shred you and poke your eyes, and the insects will
consume you. But it's not 500'. It's over 12 bloody miles! I highly
recommend you bring snake boots, lots of water, long pants, long
sleeve shirt, lots of water, good hat, pokey stick, lots of water,
spare everything, bug spray, lots of water, writing utensils, cell
phone, lots of water.
Did I mention bring lots of water?
