Runic forces are found throughout the physical and non-physical worlds. They are symbolized by various physical means, such as ice, a torch, a cart, the Sun, etc. Runic study is essential to the Old Norse Tradition. We also study myth and folklore, for the characters and events depicted are symbolic of the world and human nature. For this reason, we place high esteem on literary arts.
Literacy is essential to our Tradition.
We respect education and the ability to apply knowledge. The Runes are another tool for making knowledge a practical thing, rather than a collection of remembered facts. We also promote freedom of thought, and encourage people to think independently. This is why we discourage hierarchies, leaders and ranks of followers. The Runes conceal themselves within their very simplicity.
