The rune symbols are central to Nordic pagans' magical systems and can be used in various ways depending upon the tradition and your intent.
Each runic symbol represents a specific type of energy, and these energies can be used to achieve a multitude of goals, spanning from protection to fertility, wisdom, or love.
