Is there any evidence that past cultures practice and believed in rune magic?

Yes, there are indications in the historical records that runes were frequently used in ancient magic rituals and practices. Runes were typically carved into physical objects such as stones or staffs, and were generally used for purposes of divination or spiritual and magical power. There are numerous accounts of runes being used for both divination and ritual purposes in early Scandinavian and Germanic cultures, and runes were also widely used in other cultures throughout Europe during the early medieval period. Based on the historical evidence, it seems clear that runes were used for magic and ritual purposes by numerous ancient cultures.  What evidence is there for rune magic in more recent historical periods? In more modern times, there is certainly some influence of the concept of runes in works of modern literature and occult practice. However, there is little to no evidence that runes are actually being used in modern magic rituals or practices in any widespread manner.
