The peculiarity of the Norse Tradition and runic practice Actually, colleagues, I want to tell you that there are very few dogmas in runic practice and in the Norse tradition in general. And so when we study runes, when we carve the runes and ask the questions of what we do right, what we do wrong, whether or not the phenomenon means something or not, that is perhaps more suitable for some orthodox religions, where all steps are determined, where all the canons are approved, where the rituals are a mandatory sequence of steps in space and time, but with runes, it is not so.
