Some Ancient Rune Growth Notes
http://warviking.tripod.com/runes.html
This all fascinates me so
How do runes make you feel ?
Have you too always innately been drawn to Ancient Runes, never fully understanding the depth of their creations ?
Does KENAZ speak with you ?
Does this rune resonate somewhere within???
When the merging of the two unfolds what creations are manifested into our realities ?? Can you feel this runic power unfold right before your very eyes ??

 | Kaunaz Kaunaz “kane-awze” is the sixth rune in the first aett. Its phonetic sound is “K” as in key. Literally, it means a fiery brand or torch to give light. It is the rune of knowledge and is related to inspiration and creativity. Magically it is used for creative inspiration or solution to a problem. |
Runes
Odin's sacrifice of the self brought the Runes to humankind. To gain something of value for mankind, he hung himself for nine nights on Yggdrasil, the World-Tree, wounded by his own blade. Unaided and alone he was tormented by hunger, thirst, and pain. Before he fell he spied the Runes and with great effort seized them. During his suffering he lost an eye, but his sacrifice brought the Runes to humanity.
From the Poetic Edda:
Down to the deepest depths I peered
I know I hung on that windy tree,
Swung there for nine long nights
Wounded by my own blade
Bloodied for Odin.
Myself an offering to myself
Bound to the tree
That no man knows
Wither the roots of it ran.
None gave me bread.
None gave me drink.
Down to the deepest depths I peered
Until I spied the Runes.
With a roaring cry I seized them up
Then dizzy and fainting I fell.
Well-being I won
And wisdom, too.
From a word to a word
I was led to a word.
From a deed to another deed.
The Runes are associated with wisdom and self knowledge. Each character is a carrier of energy. It is a vessel of activity within nature and one's self which can be activated. The Runes have the power of divination and healing. They can also put one in touch with their inner self.
