The Vikings believed the Runes possessed great power, as they came from Odinn himself, mightiest of the pagan gods. The Alrun runes are Bindrunes, i.e. Runes from the runic alphabet, the elder-futhark are combined to form a whole word in one symbol. This procedured was used by the Vikings to add more information on limited space like rune stones. |
