The gods gave us runes
While we ponder where the runes and their mystical whereabouts come from, we actually have stories of where they came from
One of these is found on the Sparlösa runestone, where it says the gods gave them to humans. Another story tells of Odin hanging from a tree for 9 days and 9 nights to learn the runes, after which he taught them to humans

Runes are letters & magic
Usually people fall into one of two schools. Either runes were the most-bland-boring just-letters or that runes were magical from every single angle you might ever turn history.
The truth is they were used for both, spells were written out in runes as well as things were decorated with repetitive runes that spell nothing, but instead are to invoke some sort of power we have still to figure out. Runes were also used for the most every day tasks such as Iron Age and Medieval chatting on wooden surfaces.
