Geocache Description:

Welcome to the Coexist Series Power Trail. This series is for educational and historical purposes only, to teach you about various mythological Deities and symbology across the globe.

In addition to being a writing system, runes historically served purposes of magic, as inscribed objects gained the powers of the runes inscribed upon them.


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?
