#elder futhark
Alfablot, the Nordic counterpart to Samhain, or as some of you may know it as Halloween, is a very sacred time of remembrance of our deceased ancestors. We gather around our close family, and exchange stories of great men and women within our family tree, who we honor that night with drink and warm food. We must keep them in our thoughts, for they overcame great struggles to bring us to life. This is their night.
Hail to our deceased brothers,
To our past sisters
To the mothers of our mother
And fathers of our father
Though you may be gone
We feel your presence
And honor your life
You will never be forgotten
Hail

And the old gypsy woman said to me, “Draped in your animal furs, protect yourself from the cold, my child, my child. Live off the land the Gods have given us, for they can as easily forge a monster strong enough to take it away. A monster within, my child, my child.”
Yes, this is me, I may start posting pictures of myself to put a face to this blog.

Runes are an Ancient Germanic Alphabet that many use for divination. They can also be used as sigils because each Rune holds its own meaning. Witches write out the Runic Alphabet on small stones, bones, or marbles and gently toss them into a vessel and scry based on where they land or what falls at all.
The Elder Futhark:
The Elder Futhark is the oldest form of the Runic Alphabet, and is consisted of three aspects of three different deities being Freyja’s, Heimdall’s, and Tyr’s Aetts. Each Rune has a meaning and its own correspondences. The Younger Futhark are also referred to as Scandinavian runes, is considered to be a reduced form of the Elder Futhark, but still remains a runic alphabet with sixteen characters. These were most prominently used through the ninth century.

In addition to my tarot draw for the new year (which was Wheel of Fortune! How fitting), my rune draw provided me with Teiwaz: The Creator.
What does this mean?
Ultimately, this is an extremely positive rune signifying victory in battle and success in competition. Teiwaz can promise us success in our actions but this time without personal sacrifice. From a spiritual perspective, Tiwaz represents a spiritual breakthrough that awakens new levels of understanding.
Drawing this rune reminds me that as long as Itry this upcoming year, great things will come my way! Particularly because I drew the Wheel of Fortune from my tarot deck as well.

Polymer clay runes for all you magical goons! by LittleJarSpiritBar
My runes shop is up!
This isn’t gonna be the official post for it, that’ll have pictures of the runes themselves and will be all pretty, but I figure I should let any lingering followers who were ever interested in buying a set have a chance first.
Every set has 25 runes (with a blank rune included) and are at minimum 18, and at maximum 30, depending on the work I put into them.
I hope you guys like them! There are currently six sets left as of now!
This is an inscripted runestone from the 10th century Viking age, located in the graveyard of Rimsø church, Denmark. The church itself dates back to 1150, making it one of the oldest churches of Denmark, and underneath it might also hide a former structure from the late Viking age. With its 2,30m of hight, Rimsø runestone is one of the tallest runestones in the country (there are taller ones only on Bornholm), and one of the few stones in Scandinavia erected for a woman. The stone is made of blue granite and inscripted in the Younger Futhark runic alphabeth, a reduced form of only 16 characters of the Elder Futhark, which was in use from the 2nd to the 8th century. Its inscription, partially damaged, states that “Þórir, Einráði’s brother, raised this stone in memory of his mother and … (a mother’s death) is the worst (misfortune) for a son”. Expressing feelings at the end of a runestone inscription is quite unique. Another peculiarity of this stone is that the runic text starts on the narrow side of the stone, unlike most runestones found in Europe, where it usually starts on the larger side. Rimsø runestone also stands out as this is the only runestone in Denmark with the so-called “lønskrift” scripture, where some words, four in this case, must be read in reverse.
The stone stands on a 24m large and 1.5m high tumulus that has never been archaeologically excavated. On the top of the mound, there’s a depression that could reveal the presence of a partially collapsed burial chamber, that might contain the remains of this woman. It’s not sure where the stone was originally located, if on the top of the burial mound or on its foot, and if it was part of the burial mound, but only an archaeological investigation of the complex could shed some light on their possible connection. What we know is that about 100 Danish churches stand on more ancient burial grounds, the most famous of which are in Jelling, where a church has been built between two large burial mounds, the graves of King Gorm and Queen Thyra, whose remains Harald Blåtand later moved to the first Christian church he built in Jelling. Rimsø runestone is mentioned for the first time in 1832. Until 1875 it was walled into the south side of the church near the pedestal, and in 1889 it got its present location on the mound. Until 1814 there was also another smaller runestone, which has now unfortunately disappeared.

Modern meaning of Fehu is prosperity, money, and property. It is the Rune of creation & destruction, energy and fertility. It is a true Rune of abundance through EFFORT and perseverance. It will not tolerate lazy and reckless behaviour, as well as greed.
Rune Fehu will aid with obtaining a favorable outcome of a project, task, any new beginning. It gives a power to obtain as well as helps to preserve what you already have. It will help in a situation where you are at competition or opposition.
You can use this Rune when making a purchase, going for a job interview or in general, when dealing with any financial matters. This Rune is also connected to the wellbeing of the soul, it aids in creative projects where you express yourself and use your talents.
One more point that shourd be mentioned about interpretation of Fehu is what a person is going to do with their wealth or in general, their material possessions.
There is a reason why this Rune means “cattle”. It does not directly mean money or house. Cattle is not only a possession but also a continuous source of production. This metaphor asks person to take a closer look at what they are doing to continuously expand and improve.
Fehu IS read reversed, so be mindful when doing any Viking or Ásátru style Runes tattoo that includes Fehu.
Rune Advice: you need to stop dreaming and get back on Earth. Start on working on your goals and do what it takes to get where you want to be.
