In this episode, Daniel and Mathias are discussing the history of the runes and what they are used for. They get far in their conversation, from ancient Germanic times, through the Viking Age and medieval period, to the early modern period, and even the 20th century. They talk about the fascination with runes, rune magic, and when and where it all started.Also check us out on Instagram at: www.instagram.com/nordicmythologypodcastAnd if you like what we do, and would like to be in the audience for live streams of new episodes to ask questions please consider supporting us on Patreon:www.patreon.com/NordicMythologyPodcastIf you would like to join our bi-weekly Q&A Episodes in the new year, or get access to our special Story Time episodes covering the saga literature, then all you have to do is join our Patron.
