The Elder Futhark Runes are an early form of written language. Runes have been used both as letters to spell words, and as symbols containing greater meaning. By referencing familiar objects and experiences — such as water, hail, fire, seeds, cattle, breath, the sun, and family — they became archetypes, which today are harbingers of larger concepts — such as life force, creative flow, wealth management, language, consequences, and community. Join me as I talk to Diane and Paul Ennis about the meaning of runes, their intersection with technology and their nonprofit that can help you connect with all things Elder Futhark.
