After an eye operation Guido List claimed to have had a vision where he saw the
original set of runes. He claimed that these runes were the runes that all other
rune-rows were based on. Having 18 runes in his set, he identified each of his
runes with one of the 18 spells in the Havamal1 in the Elder Edda. However, there
was no evidence to support his claim.
