As I mentioned in Runes in History 3, this list is based on the Elder Futhark and, once the alphabet "split" (was used in England and northern Europe), the Futhark was adapted. In Scandinavia, for example, it was reduced to sixteen letters, while in England, it jumped to thirty-two. There were a number of localized or regional symbols as well.
Next week, I will be cutting the wood for my Runes (see Taking the Next Step with Runes and Runes 301- Making Your Own Runes) and will post the details of that process. Until then, have a wonderful week!
Great post!
