The Gebo Rune

The use of the Viking runes (coming from the root run- of the ancient Gothic, translated as secret or whisper ) understood mainly writing in the old Germanic languages, especially in the islands of Great Britain and the region of Scandinavia, although it eventually expanded to the regions of Eastern and Central Europe during the Middle Ages . According to ancient Scandinavian beliefs, the origin of these runes comes from the gods. It is a gift that Odin gives to men.
