Many will know of the 24-rune Elder Fuþark being divided into three Ættir (Freysætt, Hagalsætt, Týsætt), and these 'eights' do have their own broader relevance in the Fuþark system. I'm reminded of the sustaining roots, the tough bole, and the glorious crown of wisdom's Tree.
However, from rune to rune within and between the Ættir the sequencing contains relationships important in the training of the genuinely runewise even when not immediately obvious in the 'randomized' casting of a runic divination. How marked is the contrast observed when after working through ᚦ the student moves to ᚨ; how moving can be the passing through of ᛁ to ᛃ!
As with the procession of trumps in a well-built tarot deck, the sequence of a rune row illustrates a teaching system's proven path towards the ancient wisdom.
