The name Rune means secret or something
hidden and is believed to have been used for
magical divination.  The ancients saw magic all
around us and Rune sees it in the small bundle
of bones in his hands.

The Lament of the Old Woman, an 8^th/9^th century Irish poem, refers to the old woman or devine hag called Caillech.  Caillech means veiled one and in the poem the poet states that the Deity's name is Digde.  The Old Woman, crone, hag, mother has many names and Digde is but one.
