Runes are a divinatory device used by the Celts and Druids for a way to communicate with each other, to teach their people to explore their higher self through divination and how the runes in the Futhark are laid out.

 

As the story goes the secrets of the runes were passed down from the Celts to the Vikings by way of the poetic Edda, where Odin the Eddas hero was given the secrets of the runes after he sacrificed himself to the well of Eard.  The well that connects everything in the universe.  Odin hung himself by the leg to the tree of Yyidrosill.  The world tree of with all life grows.  So he could meditate and focus himself  on the idea to enlightenment.  He was presented with the Runes for his own personal path, to help everyone else to learn and grow on there paths, and for everyone to grow and learn together as a community.  AS the last of the Runes were given to Odin he succumbed to his injuries.  Odin going to ValHalla as was his right as a hero fallen in battle or fallen from extreme service to the Nordic people.  After spending a week in the halls of Valhalla was given the gift of immortality to give his knowledge of the Runes to his people
