Celtic and Norse

Runes and knots, kept distinct

The twenty-four Elder Futhark runes are letters of early North Germanic speech, not a Celtic alphabet. Celts had ogham, a different set, and knot patterns that speak of families more often than of dice.

The rune tool draws one of the twenty-four, with a meaning we wrote. It is not a forest rite and not an oath.

When you set runes beside tarot, treat them as different languages. Do not force a rune to stand inside the Celtic Cross.
