Blue Tooth, Bind Runes And Hate Symbols

Are you afraid of modern technology that uses Bluetooth?
Are you afraid of the runes?
It’s pretty likely that any of us who use modern technology such as mobile phones, laptops, printers and digital cameras take advantage of Bluetooth technology and would be able to easily recognize the Bluetooth logo.
However, not many people know that the Bluetooth logo is made up of runes. 
Most people’s knowledge of runes is limited to movies, TV series and video games about the Vikings.
Or worse yet, they only know of them as symbols of modern hate groups, such as white supremacists, skinheads, and neo-Nazis and of course the Nazis of Hitler’s Germany.
Sadly we know very little about these simple yet powerful symbols from heathen Norse/ Scandinavian and ancient Germanic history because Western civilization has been obsessed, for far too long, with classical antiquity with its focus on the cultural history centered around the Mediterranean Sea, ancient Greece and ancient Rome.  
There is a gaping hole in our education about the rich heritage of our Northern European ancestors.
The Bluetooth logo is in fact a bind rune and was created with that intention by the men who developed the technology.  What they bound together in this runic symbol are the initials of a 10th century Viking king, Harald Bluetooth.  It is made up of one form of the rune Hagalaz and the Berkana rune.
Should we fear the symbol because it contains runes? 
Should we refuse to use the technology?
Symbols are powerful, visually and energetically.  They can be used to promote good as well as harm.  How many people use the symbol of the cross?  It carries a varied history, one that is tied up together with violence, hated and oppression, as well as  love, kindness and fertility. 
Are we afraid of it? 
Should we be?
A bind rune can be any shape that is created when two or more runes are linked together to form a pattern or a symbol.
If you look closely at the Bluetooth logo you can see that it contains more than just two runes:  Hagalaz, Ior, Bekana, Gebo, Isa, Laguz, Raido as well as numerous Kenaz runes. 
What else might be bound together in this bind rune that is said to represent a Viking king?
Instead of being afraid of the runes, why not take the time to learn more about their origins and their historical, and cultural significance for the indigenous tribes of Northern Europe, before the Vikings and before the Romans.
