It was mainly used as a writing sign, but there are many indications that the runes were also used in seidr and other magic, although this is not academically documented.Proto-Norse Futhark was used until around the 4th-500th century when the language changed from Proto-Norse to what we now call Old Norse (Old West Norse and Old East Norse).We use the Proto-Norse names of the runes instead of the usual Proto-Germanic runic names, e.g. the T-rune which is usually named Tiwaz which is the Proto-Germanic name, we use TiwaR where the Proto-Germanic \/z\/ sound has changed to a palatalized R sound. <\/p>\n\n
