It
is not known where and when runes first appeared in Western Europe.
However, prehistoric rock carvings which were probably linked to
Indo-European fertility and sun cults, were used by Germanic peoples
before they possessed any form of script. These carvings include
representations of men and animals, parts of the body, weapons and
symbols of the sun.
The first glyphs, used by German, Italian
and Scandinavian people, were called runes from the Gothic runa meaning:
a secret thing, a mystery. They became used to evoke higher powers that
could influence the lives and fortune of the people. There were runes
and spells to influence the weather, the tides, crops, love, healing,
fertility, birth and death. Runes were carved on amulets, drinking cups,
battle spears, over the lintels of dwellings and on the prows of ships.
