It is certain that the use of the word rune as ‘secret’ or ‘knowledge’ had come to be associated with magic at an early period, though. The ancient Goths, for instance, used an expression haliurunnae, literally meaning ‘Hell-runer’ to refer to sorceresses, and in Old English the etymologically identical compound hellerˆne translates ‘pythoness’ (i.e. seeress or witch). Old High German even had the equivalent compounds hellirûna (literally ‘Hell-runes’) for ‘necromancy’, hellirûnâri for ‘necromancer’ and tôtrûna (literally ‘death-runer’) for the feminine ‘necromancess’.
