The ancient Norse believed that the scriptures of such graces were the words of the gods.

The tree Odin hangs is the world tree at the center of the Germanic universe.

Odin's Sacrifice: The Birth of Runes
This story is handed down in the ancient Norse poem Hávamál ("Words of the Most High")[2]:
I know I'm hanging on a tree blown by the wind.
Nine o'clock all night,
Pierced by my spear
and dedicated to Odin,
I sacrificed myself for myself
Nobody knows
Which pole is its root on.
I didn't get any help,
Not even a sip of water from the horn.
Look down,
I saw Rune -
I grabbed them screaming-
Then I fell back from there.

Rune’s Magical Legend and Protection Power
Runes: From Stone to Script
The simple rectilinear form of Rune script makes them very easy to be inscribed on stone and bone. But Runic languages are difficult to convey with record texts and use an excessive vocabulary capacity. This inefficiency is one of the reasons why they were eventually replaced by Latin.
Although Latin script would be more efficient and practical in writing, Rune conveys more than simple sounds as well as powerful magical symbols [3].
Beyond Just Protection
In Icelandic heroic legend, Egill Skallagrímsson was a Viking Age poet, warrior and farmer, and a master of Nene, deploying Nene for magical incantations.

1. Jane - 2 stars
I was really excited to try out the Ancient Protection Runes, but I was disappointed with the results. Despite following the instructions carefully, I didn't feel any different or experience any sense of protection. The runes themselves seemed cheaply made, and the symbols were not even clear or well-defined. Overall, I don't believe these runes lived up to their claims, and I would not recommend them.
2. Sam - 1 star
I purchased these Ancient Protection Runes hoping to enhance my spiritual practice, but unfortunately, they did not deliver. The quality of the runes was poor, with visible scratches and an uneven surface that made them look cheap. Moreover, the instructions were confusing, leaving me unsure of how to utilize them properly. I made an effort to incorporate them into my routine, but I didn't notice any discernible difference in my level of protection or overall energy. I regret purchasing these runes and feel they were a waste of money.
3. Mark - 2 stars
I had high hopes for the Ancient Protection Runes, but they fell short of my expectations. The package arrived with a few of the runes damaged. The instructions were hard to follow, and they seemed more like generic advice rather than specific guidelines for using the runes. I didn't notice any noticeable changes in my life or added protection while using them, which was disappointing given the claims made. The overall experience left me unsatisfied, and I won't be recommending these runes to others.
4. Emily - 1 star
I was intrigued by the concept of Ancient Protection Runes, but unfortunately, they did not work for me. Not only were the instructions vague and unclear, but the runes also lacked any substantial energy. They felt like nothing more than pretty stones with symbols etched into them. I tried incorporating them into my daily rituals, but they didn't provide any noticeable protection or enhance my spiritual practices in any way. I would not purchase these runes again, and I would advise others to seek alternative forms of protection instead.
