The primary reason for confusion regarding Runes is a modern cognitive limitation. This can be traced to the unwavering demand that Runes function as alphabets. Thus, Runes are only seen as phonetic symbols, less worthy than current systems, due to a supposed odd phonetic confusion.
The study of actual Runic elements from antiquity, thus relegates a large number of Runic emblazoned objects as untranslatable. Figures differ, but the untranslatable percentage runs at around 25%. Modern scholarship has, to some extent embraced the theory popularized by some pagans that Runes began as ideagrams, and some of this is true, which has allowed for some very original interpretations to at least be entertained by the alphabet fanatics.
The favourite period of inscriptions, from the current perspective, occurs in the late pagan times, as the Christian wars of eradication reached their epic levels of genocide. Here, most inscriptions are reduced to alphabetical symbols, making them simple to read. Modern scholars like this very much.
Yet Runes, as I have written previously, are the expression of quantum language, which itself develops according to the frequencies of biology. Language closely follows wave forms that are those we find in all creation. Thus it is true that Runic comprehension must extend beyond the constraints of both an alphabet and an ideagram.
Furthermore, Aryan natural language, of which Runes are perhaps most emblematic, operates simultaneously on different levels of understanding. This type of language was once known throughout the esoteric tradition of Europe, and for those of a Christian bent, it can be found still in the Gematria of the new testament.
I will mention only one further point, and that is Ogham. Ogham and the Runes are very closely linked, the way spiritual sisters might know each others deepest states.
So, in short, modern scholarship will probably never arrive at a full understanding of the Runes, until they allow themselves to become them.
