Elder Futhark Runes

The Elder Futhark is the oldest widely recognized runic alphabet, traditionally arranged in 24 runes. TrueRune uses these 24 runes as its foundation and avoids the modern blank rune because it has no basis in the historical rune rows.

Why TrueRune uses 24 runes

The 24-rune Elder Futhark gives the app a clear historical boundary. It lets readings draw from attested names, rune poem traditions, and scholarly notes instead of mixing unrelated New Age systems into the interpretation.
