Runes
Quote from Wikipedia:
"Runes are characters, according to one hypothesis probably derived from Etruscan and Greek scripts. These sets of symbols were used in Germanic languages, especially in Scandinavia and the British Isles, during the later period of early historical times (also referred to as protohistory) and the early Middle Ages. According to Norwegian archaeologists, the first runic inscriptions date from between 250 BCE and the turn of the era.
The runic alphabet was largely replaced by the Latin alphabet with the adoption of Christianity. An archaeological find from the Břeclav region documents that Central European Slavs came into contact with runes around the year 600 (i.e., earlier than the introduction of the oldest Slavic script – Glagolitic).
The use of the runic alphabet for special purposes (e.g., for decoration) persisted in rural Sweden until the early 20th century.
Origin of the Runes
The origin of runic inscriptions is still uncertain. Many characters of the elder futhark closely resemble Latin letters. Other runes resemble the characters of the North Italic, Rhaetian, Lepontic, or Venetic alphabets from the 5th to 1st century BCE, which are quite similar to each other and descended from the old Italic alphabet. However, the connection is not reliably documented, and the initial hypothesis that these runes were simplified from such alphabets – or modified for easier carving – has been largely abandoned (the strongest counterargument being that some rune shapes are more complex for carving than their supposed models). Thus, runes may have developed independently or at most with a basic influence, as an original Germanic script (from around the 1st to 2nd century CE?).
The runic alphabet is called futhark/futhork (the rune Ansuz was formerly pronounced as A, later as O), named after its first letters (like A-B-C) and is divided into three sets (groups of letters), called aettir (pl.) (aett sg.) = "families". There are several types of futhark, differing slightly in the appearance or meaning of certain characters."
Research
It seems quite obvious that the runic alphabet, whatever its origin, is derived from the Flower of Life.
Considering its use in magic and as a divinatory tool, its connection to the Flower of Life makes perfect sense.
Based on the logic of using the Flower of Life as a graphic expression of the fundamental pattern of this created world, everything that is harmonious and functional must originate from this Flower.
The modern world today creates everything based on design – by eye, by what looks pleasing – and at most, people consider the golden ratio (without even knowing where the golden ratio comes from). But our ancestors worked with much deeper knowledge and connections.
If we consider the above information and the connection of the runic alphabet with Latin letters (regular characters), which also stem from the Flower of Life, then all of this together can no longer be a coincidence. It indicates intention.
Someone clearly knew something – and based on that knowledge, the runes were created.
And the Flower of Life is known across the entire planet.
