Runic Inscriptions
54 55 Certain runes are repeated in other more complex runeshapes, which display a symmetry of these simpler runes. Breaking down the composition of these particular runes even further, the two most simple which can construct any one of them are Kennaz and Isa, the Elder k and i runes. Heathen mythology records that the earth realm of the nine worlds were created out of the fusion of these polarities of fire and frost much like the eastern concept of yin and yang. Perhaps together they quantitively fuse to produce the grid which defines and configures each succesive rune. These simple runeshapes are in fact the most common breakdown of every other rune and therefore may be the building blocks of all runeshapes. A QuAntItIve Puzzle of fire and frost 55
