Magic involving rune symbols on the outside refers to the practice of using specific symbols known as runes in magical rituals and spells. Runes are ancient characters that were used in various Germanic languages during the time of Viking Age. They are typically carved onto stones, wood, or bone, and each rune represents a specific sound and concept. In magical practice, runes are believed to possess inherent power and can be used to enhance the effectiveness of spells and rituals. The symbols are usually inscribed on the outside of objects or written on surfaces to invoke their magical properties. This can be done by using runes on talismans, amulets, or even on the exterior of a building.
✓ Ask the rune what it knows, what it’s powers are, what it means — Runes are powerful spirit allies. Thus each rune can be evoked individually, like any god, spirit, demon or angel, etc.
Their origins are not entirely clear, but they generally seem to be a descendant of ancient Italic alphabets, probably either the Latin or Etruscan ones, and ancient symbols already in use, that was modified to be easily carved in wood and stone, giving runes their distinctive angular shapes. While both the Sartans and Patryns use rune magic, the former draw them in the air, sing them, dance them, etc, while the latter inscribe them on their own bodies for use later.
This can be done by using runes on talismans, amulets, or even on the exterior of a building. The main idea behind using rune symbols on the outside is to harness their energies and connect with the ancient wisdom and power they represent. Each rune has its own significance and can be used to achieve different magical goals.

Runes were symbols representing various sound values, belonging to a runic alphabet. The runes themselves could be used both as an alphabet or as stand-in for whole words (as logograms). [1] Runes appeared to be common in the Middle Ages.
Runes were widely used by the modern magical community, [2] and were studied at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry under the subject "Study of Ancient Runes". [3] Ancient runes were studied at Hogwarts in sixth-year History of Magic classes during the 1989–1990 school year. [4]
For example, the rune Algiz represents protection and can be used to ward off negative energies when inscribed on the outside of a door or window. Using rune symbols on the outside can also be a form of communication or invocation. By inscribing runes on a specific object, practitioners believe they can attract or channel the energies associated with that rune. For example, inscribing the rune Fehu, which represents wealth and abundance, on the outside of a money box or wallet is believed to attract financial prosperity. In addition to physical objects, rune symbols can also be used on the outside of the body to enhance magical practices. Some individuals choose to tattoo runes onto their skin as a form of personal empowerment and connection to the runic energies. Overall, magic involving rune symbols on the outside is a way for practitioners to tap into the ancient wisdom and power of runes. By inscribing these symbols on objects or the body, individuals believe they can enhance their magical practices and achieve their desired goals..
