Heh, I'm reminded of the times I've hammered christ-punchers that Odin is the man, and that they are going to be sorely disappointed when they die. Makes as much sense as any of that xtian crap. And I like runes. The Elder Futhark is fun- the symbols are pretty neat. I even carved some runes into a hiking staff I used to carry when I hiked with the Boy Scouts. You can use the letters as a substitution cypher, or take the rune for the meaning and make a much shorter carving. Some of the kids asked what the symbols were, and when I explained, I could see the hair raising on the backs of really religious type parents' necks. 
Fucking superstition.

Fucking superstition.

If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
