"Alright, welcome to Ancient Runes. This class we'll be running through the concept of Ancient Runes quickly just to refresh everyone and bring you all up to speed. First of all, what are Ancient Runes and what are they used in Muggle mythology and history?"

Rave's hand shot into the air, "People used runes for writing messages, inscriptions and epitaphs, as amulets and charms, as an oracle for use in divination and for rituals, magic and spells."

Angel was seated a row to the side and a seat back from Evy. "Hello" she said softly as she took out her note taking material. She gave her fellow hufflepuff a friendly smile and then started glancing about the room.

Jordana raised her hand and said, "Ancient Runes have been used as a means of obtaining answers from a Higher Source. I'm not sure of what else they could have been used for. That's all I recall at the moment." she said with a faint smile.

Jamie raised his hand. "In Muggle history, Runes were used as a form of writing, sort of. Hylogrphyics, I think they were called? But, anyway, Runes sometimes told writing, but in some mythologies, they used them almost like a form of Divination." | |

Brittany didn't want to take a chance and say the wrong answer so she just sat there.

Ariana didn't bother to lift her hand up, since everyone else pretty much answered it correctly. She didn't know anything about Ancient Runes anyway, that's why she was here.

Angel raised her hand. "Runes are an ancient Germanic alphabet, used for writing, divination and magic. They were used throughout northern Europe, Scandinavia, the British Isles, and Iceland from about 100 B.C.E. to 1600 C.E."

Josey rested her chin on her hand as she quickly took notes on the other students' answers. The class had barely started and already they were learning a lot!

Beck's eye crossed at all the answers that were being fired off so quickly. She didn't know anything about Runes, and she had read the book ahead of time. She quickly wrote down all the information that was being said and tried to pay close attention.

Serilda jot down some notes and quickly read through a little bit of her textbook. "Hrm..." she murmrured, studying one of the runes. She drew a model rune in her notebook and attempted to translate some of the words and symbols on the rune.

Sebastian rose his hand. "The ancient Egyptians used runes to write to each other. In fact, many cultures used symbols, instead of actual letters to sybolize certain meanings." | |

Amber raised her hand. "Runes were originally used as a writing system by the Anglo Saxons, which devolped into our modern writing today. In a magical sense, however, they can be used to do divinations, good luck charms, and talismans that react differently depending on the other runes they are paired with, or how they written. Runes can be very effective or dangerous if you do not know what you are doing.

Ariana wrote down everything everyone said, not wanting to miss a single thing. She began doodling a rune onto her notes, not really seeing what she was drawing. She looked up to the professor, waiting.

Jewil said knowing she was really late on the subject but filling the teacher had not said anything meant the answers where not right. "UMMM... The Ancient Vikings believed that the Runes were the gift of Ódhinn, and The runes are inextricably bound to Norse mythology." Knowing she was late she looked at her hands.

Rave's hand shot into the air, "People used runes for writing messages, inscriptions and epitaphs, as amulets and charms, as an oracle for use in divination and for rituals, magic and spells."
"Very good, Rave. Ten points for that quick summary." Quote:
Jordana raised her hand and said, "Ancient Runes have been used as a means of obtaining answers from a Higher Source. I'm not sure of what else they could have been used for. That's all I recall at the moment." she said with a faint smile.
"Right again. Five points." Quote: Jamie raised his hand. "In Muggle history, Runes were used as a form of writing, sort of. Hylogrphyics, I think they were called? But, anyway, Runes sometimes told writing, but in some mythologies, they used them almost like a form of Divination."
Quote: "The ancient Egyptians used runes to write to each other. In fact, many cultures used symbols, instead of actual letters to sybolize certain meanings." "Runes and Hieroglyphics are similar, but they aren't the same, as you pointed out. Hieroglyphical symbols were used by the Ancient Egyptians to resemble the item or being that they are made to represent, while runes are more simple and are symbols that represent a letter rather than an entire word. Five points to both of you for bringing that up."
Quote:
"Runes are an ancient Germanic alphabet, used for writing, divination and magic. They were used throughout northern Europe, Scandinavia, the British Isles, and Iceland from about 100 B.C.E. to 1600 C.E."
"Correct, ten points. And while we're on this subject I'll point out that there are different scripts of runes depending on the country. What will be studied in this class is the Elder Futhark script, considered the oldest."
Quote: Amber raised her hand. "Runes were originally used as a writing system by the Anglo Saxons, which devolped into our modern writing today. In a magical sense, however, they can be used to do divinations, good luck charms, and talismans that react differently depending on the other runes they are paired with, or how they written. Runes can be very effective or dangerous if you do not know what you are doing.
Professor Opteryx nodded. "Very true--runes are not to be experimented with if you've little idea of what they will do, because runes in a string have a very different effect than a single rune alone. Ten points."
"Now, runes are basically little more than a writing system on their own. What must be done to runes to render them useful in magic?"

"Do you have to cast a charm or spell upon them?" asked Jamie with his hand up. "So that it can have its powers and be different from heiroglyphics?" | |

Ariana thought about this and raised her hand as she guessed in a small voice "Um, shouldn't you perform a small ritual before casting them? I mean, like putting them in a bag and swirling them around then placing them as they fall softly onto your hand or something like that..." her voice trailed off as her answer sounded dumb to her. She blushed a bright red colour and covered her face in her hands.
