Answer 1

The idea that the CND, or Peace Symbol, is formed from a combination of runes is an urban myth. It's true origin is well documented.

[begin quote]

This forked symbol was adopted as its badge by the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament in Britain, and originally, its use was confined to supporters of that organization. It was later generalised to become an icon of the 1960s anti-war movement, and was also adopted by the counterculture of the time. It was designed and completed February 21, 1958, by Gerald Holtom, a commercial designer and artist in Britain. He had been commissioned by the CND to design a symbol for use at an Easter march to Canterbury Cathedral in protest against the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment at Aldermaston in England.

The symbol itself is a combination of the semaphoric signals for the letters "N" and "D," standing for Nuclear Disarmament. In semaphore the letter "N" is formed by a person holding two flags in an upside-down "V," and the letter "D" is formed by holding one flag pointed straight up and the other pointed straight down. These two signals imposed over each other form the shape of the peace symbol. In the original design the lines widened at the edge of the circle.

Answer 2

the peace sign...was adapted from the inverted position of the Elhaz rune, the 15th rune in the ancient Germanic runic alphabet. The rune was a symbol of protection, in its upright form of physical protection, and in its inverted form, spiritual protection. Linguistically it was placed at the end of words to represent a Z-sound.

In some parts of Norhtern Europe, it was used in both forms on gravestones, representing the dates of birth and death.

In the ancient magical traditions of the region it was a symbol of the valkyries, the femald spirits that carried slain warriors to either Valhalla or Folkvang depending on whether they were chosen by Odin, or Freyja. As such the rune came to be associated with Swans, as that was an animal form that the Valkyries were believed to take.
