"The word 'rune' stems from the Old Norse word 'rún', which means secret. Runic writing, a script that has variations but usually consists of 24 or, later, 16 letters, was first used in northern Europe some 2,000 years ago."

Björketorp Runestone in Sweden The Björketorp Runestone, from the 7th century, rises 4.2 meters high (about 14 feet). It is one of the tallest runestones in the world. And its surface carries one of the deadliest curses of the Viking Age: a promise of endless ruin and sudden death to anyone who dares disturb it. Local legends whisper of farmers whose fields burned, and men who fell ill or died after trying to defy the stone. A 1400-year-old curse, still standing in the forest: _I, master of the runes, conceal here runes of power._ _Incessantly plagued by maleficence, doomed to insidious death is he who breaks this monument._ _I prophesy ruin._

#Brettspiel Top 100 🎲

Platz 56: #RuneStones

Sehr cooles Einstiegs- Kennerspiel von Rüdiger Dorn. Schöner, zugänglicher Deckbau- Mechanismus. Die Aktionsauswahlmechanik ist cool. Zwei Karten spielen, eine davon vernichten. Dabei versucht man ein möglichst effizientes Deck zu bauen. Nices Teil!

This summer I went to take a look at the oldest #runestone in Uppland, Sweden, Krogstastenen, U1125.
Dated to 550 or later, so the early language and few #runes makes it impossible to know what it says on this side, other side is maybe "stone".

Designing a small runic standing stone. If it all works out I shall post the finished result. It will take a long time to carve it etc. Stone is roughly 15x13cm.

Open velvet pouch of green aventurine stones with gold runes on one side

Finally got some rune stones and I’m in love. Just going to be picking one a day to learn them all like my tarot cards but I’m so obsessed

Several elder futhark rune stones in a sparkly brown-copper-gold blend. The runes are lettered in gold

My first set of #Runestones are inked, just letting them dry before I give them a buff. I was going for a tigerseye inspired pour, how did I do?

From Greenland to Türkiye: 18+ Runes & Runestones You Can Visit Those interested in the Viking world would have inevitably come across runes. This alphabet has been steeped in mystery and myth since they came into use.

Runic alphabets to write Germanic languages were in use until the adoption of the Latin alphabet. But there are examples as late as the 1300s. See our latest article, listing 18 of the best places to see runic inscriptions in Europe.

Round 2, working with my second g1 gweike laser engraver #art #crafting

I am seeing some potential here for sure :)

I also redesigned the runestones to have a darker texture and brighter characters, and etched a tree of life on the back.

A set of Grey gemstone shaped elder futhark runestones

My Elder Futhark runestone set is starting to come along nicely. I learned a lot about the rubic alphabet while working on this project and it's exciting to almost be done!
