The Norse Elder Futhark is a set of ancient Germanic runes that were used for writing, divination, and magick by the Vikings and other Germanic tribes. There are 24 runes in the Elder Futhark, each with its own meaning and symbolism.

The runes are believed to be a powerful tool for communicating with the gods and spirits, and they are often used for divination and magickal purposes.

In divination, the runes are used to gain insight into the past, present, or future, or to seek guidance from the gods. One popular method of divination is to scatter the runes on a cloth or table, and then interpret their meanings based on their position and relationship to each other.

In magick, the runes are used to enhance spells and rituals, or to create talismans and amulets for protection or other purposes. Each rune is associated with a specific energy or power, and could be used to invoke or direct that energy towards a particular goal.
