Rune Symbols


After looking up the symbol used in one of the Halloween sequels , I came across runes . Runes are a ancient germanic alphabet relating to the roman alphabet. In those days writing was extremely serious and  believed to hold magical power.Runes were used to mark monuments and cast spells. Spells were cast by writing down runes and chanting prayer. There are a large number of runes so I listed the ones which could be linked to my storyline.
