The Runic Alphabet

Nyd - N

NydAnother fire rune and comes from the old nyd fires that were kindled by rubbing wood together and used to light the festival fires.  It represents needs that must be met from within ourselves rather than by looking to others.

Ing - Ng

IngIng makes the sound 'ng' on the end of a word.  Ing was the old fertility god who died each autumn to be reborn the next year.  Ing was also deity of household protection.

Odal - O

OdalThe homestead, which was very precious to wandering peoples.  It is used to represent all domestic issues and is a protective rune of the home.

Peorth - P

PeorthThe rune or lot cup, was used for gambling and divination for they were one and the same.   The fall of the runes from the lot cup could express the will of the gods and foretell the outcome of every venture.  This rune therefore represents fate, in the sense that we all have a unique destiny to fulfil, and so is the essential self.
