As documented in ancient spiritual traditions, the runes were given to Odin while he hung from the World Tree, Yggdrasil. This sacrifice of "hanging on the tree" represents the spiritual discipline required to access higher consciousness. Odin sacrificed his eye to gain the runes, symbolizing the sacrifice of purely physical perception to gain spiritual sight - the awakening of the third eye or "True vision".
