Runes are the main magical alphabet of the Central and Northern Europe. This is not just a set of signs to convey information, they carry a symbolic meaning that goes far beyond materialistic idea about information and reality. Interest in these signs has not disappeared for many centuries, and is reflected in the art of tattooing.

Scientists have determined that in ancient times runic signs were used mainly in the field of esotericism. The very word “rune” indicates that these symbols were directly related to spiritual sacraments and the innermost secrets of magic. In Irish, the word "run" means secret or solution.

With the first centuries AD, the first runic alphabet, Futhark, was formed in Scandinavia. And together with the Germanic tribes of the Angles and Saxons, runic magic and the alphabet spread to the British Isles. Runic alphabets were used mainly where the main method of writing was to carve symbols into a hard surface (stone or wood). Runic calendars were also created. But over time, the 24-character Futhark was replaced by the more common, extensive and more convenient Latin alphabet. This replacement was undoubtedly facilitated by the spread of the Christian religion throughout Europe. But in some areas of Scandinavian life, runes continued to be used until the beginning of the twentieth century. One of, and perhaps the most important areas of use of runes was magical art.

According to ancient myth In Scandinavia, the runes were revealed to Odin, who, having pierced himself with a spear, hung on the World Tree for nine days and nights without food or drink. After such self-sacrifice and suffering, he quenched his thirst with sacred shamanic honey, and heard the runes, then wrote them on a tree with a spear, bloodied with his own blood.

Similar runes were widely used in the cultures of the ancient Celts and Slavs. But, of course, in different designs. Among the Celts, such signs are depicted very specifically, and are found as amulets on personal belongings and buildings.

Ancient Slavic runes found by archaeologists became clear evidence of the existence of Slavic runic writing. It is necessary to understand that the runic culture of the Slavs is not just elementary signs of writing - it is a whole layer of culture, covering mythology, religion and some aspects of magical art.

Slavic, Celtic, and all other runes are somewhat reminiscent of Chinese characters in their purpose and structure. Their common characteristic property is that runes, like hieroglyphs, do not have any grammatical meaning, but only have a special meaning, their name and interpretation, which is understood as a series of intuitively related symbols.

Each rune symbol consists of three elements: sound (song), sign (shape) and rune (hidden law). And not one of these components can exist separately, independently - each part is a projection or reflection of the others.

In modern times, the use of runes relies mainly on purely magical functions: bewitching objects, fortune telling, use in amulets and tattoos. Rune tattoos and their meanings have been used in this art for a long time and quite often. Serving as amulets and magical talismans.

Technological progress and changes in beliefs have led to the fact that we have forgotten about many of the meanings of images. Meanwhile, it was not for nothing that people from ancient times created entire sets of rules regarding where to place signs, when and to whom. Therefore, it is extremely important, before enlisting the help of a particular amulet, to carefully study its interpretation and the nuances of its application.

Scandinavian and Slavic runes open amazing world ancient peoples with their powerful gods. Along with Indian mantras, the meaning of runic symbols, as well as their image, has not changed since its creation.

First tattoos.

It is no secret that the use of runes as talismans can radically change human destiny. The Vikings, for example, decorated weapons, ships, homes and bodies with runes.

Runic symbols also accompanied the Slavic peoples from birth to funeral feast. Some chronicles describe “painted” Slavs. Images of gods were applied to the body, important events and laconic runic inscriptions. Therefore, when choosing a rune tattoo, one takes into account the visual attractiveness of the symbol and its meaning.

The meaning of runic symbols.

Esotericists conventionally divide rune symbols into two groups. The first is the runes of protectors. The second group of runes activates hidden abilities and encourages action. But it is impossible to determine any universal meaning of a rune tattoo. Each symbol is valuable in itself and carries certain information.

The choice of rune depends on the preferences of the wearer and the interpretation of the symbol. Although, there is a version that the rune itself chooses the owner. Therefore, when choosing, they rely solely on intuition.

Scandinavian runes.

Scandinavian runes have a clear pattern and fit beautifully on the skin. Among the popular ones:

• Lagu. The rune has a beneficial effect on the development of intuition, helps restore vital energy;
• Uruz. Symbolizes strength and courage;
• Ur. When applying this tattoo, a person must be prepared for changes in life;
• Thorn. Protects the owner from negative impacts, attracts luck and love. Helps with new projects and activities.
• Ken. The symbol refers to material world. Means stability, health (healing) and love.
• Man. Develops intelligence and helps in the implementation of spiritual plans.

These symbols are worn as a talisman tattoo. But it is worth remembering that some runic symbols were used by Nazi Germany, which is why they acquired a negative connotation in society.

Slavic symbolism.

Slavic runes are often stuffed as a patron talisman. Among the most significant and popular:

• Rune strength. Previously it was considered exclusively masculine. It is chosen by warriors and those whose craft requires physical endurance. “Strength” concentrates and preserves energy, and also helps to stay on the right path.
• Rainbow. A rainbow as a tattoo is a symbol of continuous movement. Great for travelers and people who spend a lot of time on the road.
• Source. Or a rune of ice. The meaning of a tattoo with her image is twofold. On the one hand, it slows down all events. The flow of life becomes quieter and sluggish. On the other hand, it foreshadows active actions.
• There is a rune. Balances the previous symbol. It is used as a tattoo by active people who are accustomed to constant changes in life.
• Bereginya. In contrast to "strength" is considered feminine sign. Bereginya is both the beginning of life and its end. A symbol of inevitable fate, as well as fertility.

Variations of images.

Scandinavian rune tattoos are used both as independent tattoos and in more complex compositions. Rune symbols are decorated with folk patterns, several runes are woven into one image, or they are supplemented with elements that are iconic for the northerners. For example, the serpent Jormungandr means destruction and the power of darkness. And Odin’s ravens depicted on the tattoo are a symbol of wisdom.

Slavic runes are often included in paintings depicting the main gods of the Rus. Also, Slavic themes are characterized by floral ornaments and natural phenomena. One of the most popular subjects is a tattoo in the form of a tree, the trunk of which is decorated with runic symbols.

Any runic composition is dominated by cold tones, close to the Scandinavian style. Shades of blue, green and gray tones. Sometimes they are diluted with muted red, less often pink or orange. Tattoos depicting one symbol are often performed in monochrome.

A good place for a tattoo.

Rune tattoos are universal. Small drawings or simple inscriptions It is better to place it on the wrist, forearm and occipital area. I place larger-scale paintings using runes on the chest and back.

Runes are powerful energy symbols that can break space and time and provide a connection with the ancient gods. Therefore, placing them below the waist is considered undignified.

Nowadays tattoo with runes can be found quite often - both young people and older representatives of humanity prefer to use ancient symbols as a means of decorating their bodies. But rune signs are not simple decorations, these are real magical talismans.

Before using runes for tattoos, it is better to become more familiar with the principles of their work and action.

In fact, sacred symbolism is capable of rewriting the book of fate of any person. Even in ancient times, people used the magical properties of runes in magical rituals and rituals.

But, as already mentioned, you should not think that rune symbols are so harmless - their connection with magic is very strong. Study every detail, don't miss a single detail. And only when the meaning of each sign is thoroughly known to you, can you begin to choose a design for a tattoo.
