In classical empiricist approaches, we could say that our ways of talking depend upon the world; to the extent that our talk is rooted, or grounded in what the facts of the world will permit or allow us to say, our talk is about what we ‘find’ to be there. 

On the other hand, in line with hermeneutical or interpretive views, it is equally true to say that what we take to be the nature of the world depends upon our ways of talking about it; thus, to the extent that it is they that ‘give’ or ‘lend’ it intelligible (and legitimate) structure and significance, it is as we ‘make’ it to be.

Guido von List, Armanen Runes, 1902

“The Armanen runes, or Armanen ‘Futharkh’ as Guido von List referred to them, are a row of 18 runes that are closely based in shape (though not necessarily name, let alone interpretation) on the Younger Futhark. They were "revealed to” the Austrian occult mysticist and Germanic revivalist Guido von List in 1902, and subsequently published by him.“
