A note on history and modern divination
The Elder Futhark is the earliest widely attested runic alphabet used by Germanic-speaking peoples in the first millennium CE. Modern rune divination systems combine historical rune names and later textual traditions with contemporary symbolic practice. Oracle Mirror labels these interpretations as modern reflections rather than claiming they reproduce one documented ancient fortune-telling method.
