I know I am probably going to get flamed for this, but here's my arguement against the 25th rune:

Numerologicly, having 24 runes makes sense, because 24 divides neatly into 3 aetts. The blank rune has no set that it fits into.

Even more importantly, however, the blank rune is redundant. The mysteries given to the blank rue are already a part of Perthro, rune of the unknown.

I also have a third reason I do not like the blank rune: by definition, each rune has certain attributes or qualities that make it a rune. One of these attributes is the runestave, or actual form of the rune. The blank rune has neither form, or phonetic value.

I understand that others may have a different view, and may not agree with what I have posted. I hope we can open up a respectful debate concerning the 25th rune.

My opinion? Well, I base it upon historical precedent. Mainly that the runes are well over a thousand years old and that the runes we use should be the runes of that era. There was no blank rune back then. I think the blank rune came in the 1970s or 80s. Regardless of whether people in the modern age think its necessary, the runes of Odin and the Germanic people didn't require it. That's good enough for me.

I have a program that has the runes on it.. I love it~!!
The blank one, Some days I like it some days I'm like "K" I seem to get that one alot...

Is that the program from this site or a different one? If it's a different one, the name of the program would be appreciated!

Fortune Teller,
My friend gave it to me years ago.. Hubby saved it on a CD.. It was on a floppy...LOL

Is it something you can e-mail me? (A floppy's worth of files are a small attachment). I am committed to renewing my runic studies!

If u guys don't mind, can u plz stop the quoting?? u can just post ur view instead of quote the entire last post, it takes less time to load the pages if everyone just Quotes when necessary, than quoteing every last post.

Thank you very much, & plz no offence or harm meant.

Lol Quote, quote quote quote..

The Blank Rune.. The Divine. The Rune of Odin lol, I think this is much like the blank tarot cards, 78 cards in a deck yet modern printing has to print 80 so unless the extra two are used for advertising or rules, meaning messages or spares that you can draw yourself, people sometimes use them as blank tarot.. a meaning that you decide. I wonder how many runes have to be pressed in one batch? 25 seems a very round number to me..... perhaps that is the simple answer why modern day mass produced runes have the blank one?

You know you probably are correct in saying this as the original runes were only 24 and The divine rune of Odin is actually Ansuz, called the mouth to do with communication and all things shaminic as Odin is the God of Shamanism amongst other things. So the only use I can see for the blank rune besides confusing the reading it probably could be used as a spare incase you loose of break one. In my experience though if you misplace or break a rune the set is never the same again and takes ages before you can use them again if ever.
