      Introduction

      Some 800 years ago, or more, someone wrote a book called the Codex Regius. As part of this book, the author included an epic poem, known as the Hávamál, or The High One’s Words. This poem was ostensibly written by Odin Himself. The Hávamál included

      • Gestaþáttr, a collection of rules on proper behavior,

      • a love story and some comments on how women act,

      • the Loddfáfnismál, more rules on proper behavior directed at someone called Loddfáfnir (who apparently needed extra instruction),

      • the Rúnatal which describes how Odin gained the Runes, and

      • the Ljóðatal, a description of the powers of the eighteen runes that Odin won in the Rúnatal. In this context, rune means magic spell or something similar.

      Sadly, the Ljóðatal does not actually give us the charms, only their supposed powers. For example, describing the third of the eighteen Runes, Odin (or His ghost writer) tells us:

      (150. For the third I know, if I have great need to restrain my foes, the weapons’ edge I deaden: of my adversaries nor arms nor wiles harm aught)

      This is an extraordinarily useful power, preventing an enemy from hurting you with weapons or with strategies! Too bad that time has lost the actual spell for us.

      What history has preserved for us are alphabets composed of runes. In this context, rune simply means letter. Now…let’s think about that a moment. The same word is used for a letter and for a spell or magic charm. It works in English, too…we spell with letters, we use spells in sorcery and witchcraft.

      Is something sinister
