Runes and Poetry

Sat, 2005-08-13 17:12 — Barry
There are many references throughout literature to runes and their magical, protective and historical influence. For the mythical origins of the runes see The Runes and Odin. A few passages from literary and historical works are reproduced here. Due to the sheer length of The Kalevala (The Epic Poem of Finland), it has not been reproduced on this page.
