-'''[[Dante Alighieri]]''', widely known mononymously as '''Dante''', was an Italian poet, writer, and philosopher. His ''Divine Comedy'' (commonly called ''The Inferno'' in English) is widely considered one of the most important poems of the Middle Ages and the greatest literary work in the Italian language. Dante is known for establishing the use of the vernacular in literature at a time when most poetry was written in Latin, which was accessible only to educated readers. His depictions of [[Hell]], [[Purgatory]], and [[Heaven]] provided inspiration for the larger body of Western art and literature. He influenced English writers such as Geoffrey Chaucer, John Milton, and Alfred Tennyson, among many others.
+A '''[[rune]]''' is a letter in a set of related alphabets known as runic alphabets native to the Germanic peoples. Runes were used to write Germanic languages (with some exceptions) before they adopted the Latin alphabet, and for specialised purposes thereafter. In addition to being a writing system, runes historically served purposes of [[ritual magic|magic]] and [[divination]] as a form of [[cleromancy]]. In the early 20th century, Germanic mysticism coined new forms of runic magic some of which were continued or developed further by contemporary adherents of Germanic [[paganism|Neopaganism]]. Modern systems of runic divination are based on Hermeticism, classical [[Occult]]ism, and the [[I Ching]].
