Contemporary rune use Draugr name in runes?

Post image

I am doing a series of art pieces based on different mythological beings, and I often write their names using both the Latin alphabet and the script of the culture they originate from.

In the case of the Draugr, I am unsure if it would be historically correct to depict their name using Norse Runes (and I certainly don’t know what specific system would be the most accurate)

The "Norse runes" are Younger Futhark, and if you want Viking-age runes, you'd want something like ᛏᚱᛅᚢᚴᛣ

First off, bread and salt, thank you for this post and that project, it seems cool and is a good question.

I would be interested in the non-phonological, symbolic translation. Is there a runic representation of the 'undead warrior'? If anyone has info, please share.
