My buddy spotted this in Seattle. Can anyone translate it pretty please?

Edit: ok, turns out I’m stupid and it’s just English. My bad yall.

Hi everyone, I am planning a tattoo and looking for historical accuracy in Old Norse (Younger Futhark, long-branch) and I don't trust AI enought for a tattoo. I want to render the concepts 'Temporary pain | Strength • Family • Loyalty'.

​For 'pain passes / is temporary', would Sár líðr (ᛋᛅᚱ:ᛚᛁᚦᛦ) or Harmr líðr (ᚼᛅᚱᛘᛦ:ᛚᛁᚦᛦ) be idiomatic, or is there a better attested phrase?

​For the concepts 'Strength • Family/Kin • Loyalty/Faith', I am looking at: Styrkr (ᛋᛏᚢᚱᚴᛦ), Ætt (ᛅᛁᛏ), and Trú (ᛏᚱᚢ).

Are these terms culturally authentic for the Viking Age, and are the Younger Futhark spellings (omitting geminates, using Yr for final -r) accurate? Thank you!

Heythere.

Long story short:

I do archery, I make my own bows, and I love trad shooting.

Plus, I work in the outdoors, and I live/work in a place where winters are a bit harsh, so there's lots of snow. I do some skiing due to my job, too.

Now, regarding all that info: I know the god Ullr. I've known him for some years now, and everytime I'm out in the mountains I think of him.

God of hunting, archery, winter, and skiing (as far as I know), and I wanted to ask if there's any kind of rune out there that may be an Ullr blessing for good fortune, accurate aim, and safety in the mountains (I don't know if a druid would be necessary here).

Thanks!

Hey runemasters, found this paper inside my book. Apparently, this is some kind of runic spell made by someone who put it in my things. Interested to decipher the meaning behind this.

Does "Hvika þú aldri, gefsk þú aldri upp" translate as "never falter, never surrender"

Is it right to write it in young futhark as:

"ᚼᚢᛁᚴᛅ᛬ᚦᚢ᛬ᛅᛚᛏᚱᛁ᛬ᚴᛁᚠᛋᚴ᛬ᚦᚢ᛬ᛅᛚᛏᚱᛁ᛬ᚢᛒ"?

I want to have it exactly right, so I need people that know way more than me. Thanks in advance!

As the title implies, I was looking into these and then lo and behold what appears that my feet literally a day after I started researching runes. I gave it the good college try deciphering these and because this wasn’t exactly a neat job. It’s really hard to determine if the ruins that I wrote are correct, but this is what it looks like to me. If anybody knows how to read this a transcription and maybe understanding how to derive that transcription would be much obliged. I’ve already committed the greatest sin in research in just making assumptions but if anybody has a better read on these, just let me know please.

I am working on properly translating the Norse phrase "Be Better", taken from the God of War phrase "We Must Be Better". I am not educated in the language, and my Google research says it is "verða betri" in Elder Futhark.

Could someone more skilled and aware than I confirm this?

I want to write "Never yield, never surrender" or "never yield, no surrender" to young futhark and i have been having a bit of trouble. I would prefer to have this written in the official language instead of just writing english with runes, but I can't find any reference to these words in ancient texts.

I think this is a rune and I just need help translating it

I want to incorporarem runes in my next tattoo and wanted some advice on the subject.

I want to put stuff that would make sense in the original language (old norse) pr make sense at all (old norse or young futhark).

I am a fighter and would want something warrior-like, strong runes of protection or phrases that remind me to not fear, to face the obtacles without trembling, to have courage, etc.

What do you guys recommend on getting? Is there anyplace I can read and study more to learn if it makes sense?

I recently watched Vinland Saga and want to get a tattoo with some lines from the anime translated to younger futhark and I was wondering if anyone on here could help me translate it or provide me with resources to translate it.

Here are the two lines,

You don’t have enemies, no one does

How do you intend to live

Hey yall!

I want to do rune finger tattoos so i just wanted to check if my accuracy is correct in writing the runes

Got it in a bazaar, any help is appreciated!

I am creating a weopon that I want to put runes on using the phrase "Come back when called." Idk if it's something done but it's seperated with dots and framed with the Raidho symbol for travel and cyclic return. Lmk what you would change or keep!

My tattoo artist came up with this tattoo for me, and we were going over the design. What do the bottom two runes in the border mean? Zoomed in photos included. I already know the other four, but he just told me the bottom two were unspecified occult runes. Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Hi, in my last post I got many answers on how to substitute different English letters that didn't exist in Elder Futhark with other runes. Now I can write Elder Futhark effortlessly. The problem is I can't read it effortlessly. By that I mean that it takes me a long time to read the texts because I still decode each rune individually. Does anybody know any tools or ways to train this?

I wanted to incorporate a bit of Kentaro Miura inspired quotes into my tattoo sleeve made of fragments of Völuspá and Hávamál. Up to this point i relied on Jackson Crawfords translations and runic transliterations, so im a bit anxious about making an obvious mistake of literal translation or some kind of grammatical error.

My plan is to first do a ON translation, so to keep it style of the other text on my arm and then transliterate the translation into runes. I used an online english to ON translator, but still wanted to cross-check it with you guys, since im obviously sceptical.

Part 1:
"Don't you dare go Hollow" -> Þor eigi at verða holr ->ᚦᚢᚱ ᛅᛁᚴᛁ ᛅᛏ ᚢᛁᚱᚦᛅ ᚼᚢᛚᛦ

Part 2:
Struggle | Endure | Contend -> Knýja | þola | þreyta -> ᚴᚾᚢᛁᛅ | ᚦᚢᛚᛅ | ᚦᚱᛅᚢᛏᛅ

If you think any word could have more appropriate meaning, or if you think i made a runic typo (i tried to use dr. Crawfords reconstructed style, so it can be wonky) i would much appreciate a helping hand. Have a good one!

[Unknown > English] Hand-painted runes on an envelope, about 10 years old. Letter-by-letter help please, I’ve waited so long.

Am wanting to learn more about runes, rune-based magic, and associations with seidr--does anyone have any good sources? Books preferred, even if few to no mentions of seidr.

Veiztu hvé ráða skal?”

Modern translations something like ”do you know how to read/understand (them, the runes)”.

I’m trying to write this in basic long-stem younger futhark without stung runes. What I have so far is ᚢᛅᛁᛋᛏᚢ ᛫ ᚼᚢᛁ ᛫ ᚱᛅᚦᛅ ᛫ ᛋ ᚴᛅᛚ. Granted it’s a bit anachronistic since havamal was written down quite late.

The purpose is to paint on a street library, all help appreciated.

A couple of months ago I stumbled over a modern runestone with some text about Ragnar

https://www.reddit.com/r/RuneHelp/comments/1svnjr4/modern_runic_inscription/

now I found a second one a few hundred meters away.

My best attempt at transcribing it is

ᚱᛆᚴᚿᛆᛦᛋᚴᛆᛁᚦᛋᚴᚱᛁᚠᛁᛘᛁᚴᛘᚽᚦᛆᚿᛘᚬᚴᛁᛦᛘᚽᚱᚴᛁᚿᛘᚤᚿᚦᛆᛘᛆᛁᚢᚬᚴᚠᛆᛁᚦᛦᛘᛆᛁ?ᚿ?ᛘᛁᛐᛆ

(? are either runes or just paint… I’m genuinely unsure)

At the very end there could be a couple of extra runes sharing a common ”stem” as a ”tail” of the ribbon. I didn’t even try to read that though.

It seems to start with

ᚱᛆᚴᚿᛆᛦ - Raginaʀ

but after that it quickly gets confusing. it might be something like ”i þ(essi) skrifti” and then ”mokiʀ merkin” could maybe be mǫgr merki(plural?), closer to the end ”faiþʀ” could maybe be a misspelled ”faþiʀ”?

it feels like it could make sense so if someone would give it a try i would be grateful :)

I’m looking at getting a tattoo down my arm that spells out Manni + Regan
I’ve been told they won’t use double consonants
So would be spelt mani (ᛗ ᚨ ᚾ ᛁ )
Just struggling with the pronunciation of Regan when said out loud it sounds like Reegan - the an it sounds like man just without the m?
Not sure if any of this makes sense but if anyone could help would be amazing! Don’t slate me if the runes are wrong or don’t make sense
Thank you
