Artwork of rune stones used for fortune telling
Rune stones. Computer artwork of pebbles marked with runes. It is claimed that these runes can be used in fortune telling by studying the order in which a person draws them from a bag. The runes allegedly help a person reach a decision by making them aware of things they know subconsciously. The word " rune" comes from a Viking word meaning " magic sign". Runes were devised about 1800 years ago by Germanic tribes who adapted Roman and Greek letters for carving. Runes have been found in arc- haeological sites across northern Europe. The rune alphabet, the futhark, has 16-33 letters depending upon the time and place that they were carved
