Yes. The runes have been an integral part of my studies. Both the alphabetic and majik uses of them. May I ask why?

I was just trying to see how many were’s here are into Norse mythology.
To try and get a feel for the people on the site.

Runes are more than just nordic there are celtic runes too. They are used in different ways and the individual runes some times carry different meanings and look different, but essentially have the same purpose. I have used runes in the past to help make decisions. Of course in some ways using a rune casting to make a decision is rather like throwing a dart into the air to see where it will land.

Are there any rune dictionaries? I want to study runes but haven't got a chance as I'm not sure how to go into it.

Actually most book stores like Barnes and Noble have rune kits in their New Age section. Or you can just buy a book and make your own with a dremel and some smooth river stones.

I was once giving a presentation in art class and I saw the teacher giving me a funny look. I realized she appeared to be contemplating the poster I drew. So I took a look and noticed that I had subconciously written like half the poster in runes. I've made runic talismans, carved runes into my flesh, use them in spells and use them to write anything I felt needed to be empowered a bit.
So yeah I study them.

There may be celtic runes but but no matter how much I use runes the only ones I find to have any outcome are the runes of the elder futhark

[LV426]

A system of rune-like symbols which was used by the Celts, especialy the Celtic priesthood of the Bards and Druids, and this is known as the Ogham pronounced Oh'm.

The Ogham is the language of the trees, and this is from where we can begin to study the meanings of the symbolism. Each of the 22 sacred trees represent a letter in the celtic alphabet and also represent a meaning in the celtic tree oracle. In days gone, ancient Bards and Druids would string together leaves from the sacred trees making up words and sentences and then hang them in a clearing in the forest as messages to others... these clearings were referred to as Libraries... and the strings of leaves known as books. Hence the term still used today as the Leaves of a Book.

What some of the rune type symbols look like.

Strangely enough, some of the Bards used a 22 string harp to pass along messages to each other, particularly during times of the Roman Occupation of their lands.

Each of the strings again were assigned to letters
of the Ogham, and unbeknown to the romans,
Bards would speak to each other by plucking
the strings of their harps.
