For those of you out there who lack the mental capacity to store an entire thesaurus in your brain I'll help you out a little on this one, but only this one. RUNE undoubtably means poetry, as if you couldn't have made an "educated guess". But RUNEs extend into the unknow world of incantations and magical charms.
World History:
Among the early peoples writing was a serious thing, full of magical power. RUNES were employed in casting spells, as to gain a kiss from a sweetheart or make an enemy's gut burst. In casting spell the writing of RUNES was accompnained by a mumbled or chanted curse or prayer, aslo called a RUNE, to make the magic work. This sense of RUNE, which had faded away like a whisper, reappeared from the mists of the past. |
