However, prehistoric rock carvings which were probably linked to Indo-European fertility and sun cults, were used by Germanic peoples before they possessed any form of script. These carvings include representations of men and animals, parts of the body, weapons and symbols of the sun. The first glyphs, used by German, Italian and Scandinavian people, were called runes from the Gothic runa meaning: a secret thing, a mystery. They became used to evoke higher powers that could influence the lives and fortune of the people. There were runes and spells to influence the weather, the tides, crops, love, healing, fertility, birth and death. Runes were carved on amulets, drinking cups, battle spears, over the lintels of dwellings and on the prows of ships.
