How Odin Discovered Runes (Myth & History)

In Norse mythology, Odin, the Allfather, sought wisdom and sacrificed himself by hanging from Yggdrasil, the World Tree, for nine nights. Pierced by his spear, he hung without food or drink, enduring immense pain. In this ultimate act of self-sacrifice, he gained the knowledge of runes—mystic symbols containing the secrets of the universe. This revelation granted Odin profound insight and magical power.
