Learning Rune Meanings

The earliest runic inscriptions found on artifacts or tools give the name of either the craftsman or the propietor.  Sometimes, though it remains a mystery.  Doe to this, it is possible that the early runes were not so much used as a simple writing system, but rather as magical signs to be used for charms.

The name rune itself, taken to mean 'secret, something hidden', seems to indicate that knowledge of the runes was originally considered esoteric, or restricted to an elite.

Regardless, learning to read the meanings behind runes isn't hard - certainly it's no longer restricted to any elite except the elite who care to learn..  There are numerous books written to help out the beginner, and classes can probably be found in your locale.   I encourage you to take the time to delve into this scolarship because runes can help one divine the issues around a situation, and provide the reader with alternative solutions to their challenge.
