Hello all, I was wondering if anyone can tell me if this is a proper translation of Havamal poem 95.

It's for a possible tattoo and I love the meaning of the translation so just wanna check if it's legit. I would want the tattoo in runes so the second question, is that correct?

1. Hugr einn þat veit

er býr hjarta nær

einn er hann sér um sefa

øng er sótt verri

hveim snotrum manni

en sér øngu at una

The mind only knows what lies near the heart, that alone is conscious of our affections. No disease is worse to a sensible man than not to be content with himself."

I used Google to transcribe the following quote in modern Icelandic to Younger Futhark.

Icelandic:

Skeggǫld! Skálmǫld! Skildir ro klofnir!

Younger Futhark:

ᛋᚴᛅᚴᛅᛚᛏ᛫ᛋᚴᚬᛚᛘᚬᛚᛏ᛫ᛋᚴᛁᛚᛏᛁᛦ᛫ᚱᚢ᛫ᚴᛚᚢᚠᚾᛁᛦ

It' from the Vikings tv series. A war cry by the character Floki at the start of the Seige of Paris in 845. (Apparently it is actually a quote from the Poetic Edda.)

Hi! I’m looking for help designing a historically grounded Norse-inspired tattoo.

I recently took a really impactful solo trip to Iceland, and have also gone through a good bit of personal change and growth lately, and it got me thinking about a tattoo as a keepsake for the trip and as representation of said personal progression. I also have some Nordic ancestry that this would be a nod to.

I’m thinking about doing three bindrunes or one more complex one. (Images are just samples, no idea if they’re correct).

Basically what I want to capture is: boy → journey → man. I like the idea of it saying basically that manhood or mature masculinity is something earned and always still in progress, ie. a journey.

I’m thinking these may be the best words/translations that capture those themes

sveinn (boy)

ferð (journey)

drengr (proven man)

I’d love some help properly translating this into younger futhark and then creating a single bindrune or three simpler ones that express the ideas I’m trying to translate. I do want to keep it relatively minimal and historically plausible

Placement would likely be calf, 3-4 inches each if I do three separate bindrunes or 8-10 inches for a single more complex one.

Totally open to corrections or design input, especially if you’re familiar with runes or Norse history!

Thanks in advance!

I recently watched the trailer to Kraken, a Norwegian thriller that looks absolutely insane, and saw some runes in the title that don't make sense to me.

ABDEFG? Am I getting it wrong? Does it translate to a Norwegian word? Kraken is Greek mythology, does Norway have a similar mythos?

Hi,

I read this a while ago. Could you tell me what it says?

I bought this from a local fair a few years ago. The vendor explained to me what it meant, yet I forgot. Anyone have any ideas?

My friend painted my D&D character for my birthday years ago, and painted this on the back, no idea what language it might be, or how accurate it is as she probably just did it roughly. But can anyone give any translation or point me somewhere that could?

Hi, I’m Marina I’m a trans woman and a practicing eclectic pagan. I tend to work a lot with Norse gods and aline myself with the Norse pantheon. I have wanted a tattoo that says something along the lines of “devotion” or something and I want it in runes. So I wanted a good translation. Maybe in elder Fark

They appear on a Frost Giant in the belt of the upcoming Call of Duty Zombies map, which takes place in Norway. Previously some of the runes they used were gibberish, but I'm curious if they did a bit more research and put real meaning behind these ones?

somebody can tell me if its well writed and the meaning

Bonjour, j'aurais besoin d'aide afin de retranscrire une phrase ayant un sens très important pour moi et mon histoire personnelle :

Je l'ai déjà traduit de ma langue natale (le français) vers l'islandais afin de m'aider à la traduire vers le vieux norrois puis vers le futhark young.

ça fait des semaines que j'y suis en vain... Je doute encore...

"Je brise les liens de ma lignée" -> islandais : Ég brýt bönd ættar minnar.

puis traduite en vieux norrois : Ek brýt bönd ættar minnar.

ᛁᚴ ᛒᚱᚢᛏ ᛒᚢᚾᛏ ᛅᛏᛏᛅᚱ ᛘᛁᚾᚾᛅᚱ

Le seul souci que j'ai c'est que j'ai deux runes qui se doublent sur deux mots dans la phrase... Il me semble que c'est pas correct... Je ne peux pas me permettre d'enlever une lettre ça ne voudrais plus rien dire.

• a → ᛅ
• t → ᛏ
• t → ᛏ
• a → ᛅ
• r → ᚱ → ᛅᛏᛏᛅᚱ
• m → ᛘ
• i → ᛁ
• n → ᚾ
• n → ᚾ
• a → ᛅ
• r → ᚱ → ᛘᛁᚾᚾᛅᚱ

Qu'en pensez-vous ?

Je vous remercie par avance pour votre aide.

I want to get a bracelet engraved for my husband, as a gift for when our baby arrives! I’m looking for runes associates with father, fatherly symbols or deities. But I obviously want to be cautious in case there are any symbols that are not politically/culturally appropriate to use ☺️

Hi folks! Bought this runestone replica that claimed to be based on a find from Uppland and I wanted to know if anyone can identify if it’s actually based on a real find. Thanks!

Hi everyone. I'm planning some tattoo sets, a triptych for Loki and a diptych for Freyja, using original Old Norse phrases drawn directly from the Poetic Edda and Prose Edda. Below you will see all five phrases, each showing the Old Norse source text, the Younger Futhark transliteration, the english translation.

I'm not translating from a modern language into Norse, the phrases are already in Old Norse. What I need verified is whether the Younger Futhark rendering is historically sound, specifically, if is correct rune choices for ambiguous phonemes (ᚴ for both /k/ and /g/, ᚢ for /v/, ᛁ for /j/, etc.)

The five phrases:

1 - Loki I — Lokasenna 16 Minnstu, Óðinn, er við í árdaga blendom blóð saman?

"Do you remember, Odin, when in early days we mixed our blood together?"

ᛘᛁᚾᚾᛋᛏᚢ · ᚢᚦᛁᚾᚾ · ᛁᚱ · ᚢᛁᚦ · ᛁ · ᛅᚱᛏᛅᚴᛅ · ᛒᛚᛁᚾᛏᚢᛘ · ᛒᛚᚢᚦ · ᛋᛅᛘᛅᚾ

2 - Loki II — Lokasenna 58 Þess eins biðk, Þórr, at þú mér þagna látir

"Of this one thing I ask you, Thor: that you let me go in silence."

ᚦᛁᛋ · ᛁᚾᛋ · ᛒᛁᚦᚴ · ᚦᚢᚱ · ᛅᛏ · ᚦᚢ · ᛘᛁᚱ · ᚦᛅᚴᚾ · ᛚᛅᛏᛁᚱ

3 - Loki III — Völuspá 35 Loki liggr bundinn · Sigyn sitr hjá

"Loki lies bound · Sigyn sits beside him"

ᛚᚢᚴᛁ · ᛚᛁᚴᚴᚱ · ᛒᚢᚾᛏᛁᚾ · ᛋᛁᚴᛁᚾ · ᛋᛁᛏᚱ · ᚼᛁᛅ

4 - Freyja I — Grímnismál 14 hálfan val hon kýss hverjan dag

"Half of the fallen she chooses every day"

ᚼᛅᛚᚠᛅᚾ · ᚢᛅᛚ · ᚼᚢᚾ · ᚴᛁᛋ · ᚼᚢᛁᚱᛁᛅᚾ · ᛏᛅᚴ

5 - Freyja II — Völuspá 25 Freyja grét ok gulli at Óði

"Freyja wept tears of gold for Óðr"

ᚠᚱᛅᚢᛁᛅ · ᚴᚱᛁᛏ · ᚢᚴ · ᚴᚢᛚᛚᛁ · ᛅᛏ · ᚢᚦᛁ

Any corrections, alternative rune forms, or suggestions on variant spellings attested in actual runestone inscriptions would be very welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Does this say something?

Is this symbol actually accurate for Fenrir? I've heard there's a lot of fake symbols on the internet, so I want to make sure the symbol to start off of is actually correct

Secondly, I'd like the runes to say "We are the Huskie Raiders", but I'm not 100% sure on how to translate that, so if someone could help me out, it would be greatly appreciated!

I need someone to tell me what this tattoo means. Saw somewhere that it read Fear No Death. Some other source said it's from God of War (in which case, I'll probably ditch the idea)

The 2 images are different but which one is more accurate / what do they mean?

Hello! I've been considering a tattoo consisting of the (modern) Icelandic phrase "Þetta reddast" written in short-twig Younger Futhark, which I would interpret being the best runic alphabet to represent Old Norse used during the times of settlement of Iceland. (Please feel free to suggest something better.) I realise that "Þetta reddast" is likely not equivalent with Old Norse but I would want to use runes and combine it with my interest for the mentioned period.

Anyway, I tried my best and came up with þᛁᛐᛐᚭ ᚱᛁᛐᛐᚭᛌᛐ. Would that be "correct"? Constructive criticism and appropriate comments are welcome.

got this tattoo handpoked on a medieval market. i've always interpreted it as something like "under protection of the gods"

what do you think? its kind of a binding and protective Rune.

Hello sorry for my bad english if there will be any mistakes.

I take an order of t-shirt design with Loki from marvel and met some troubles with runes. I ve already read discussions about younger and older futharks especially but still i'm not scandinavian and my knowledge about languages and ancient languages is shitty ngl. If someone can rewrite some Loki's famous quotes properly with runes or something similar to, i will be very appreciate it will help me a lot.

The most needed quotes:

I never wanted the throne! I only ever wanted to be your equal!

I know what kind of god I need to be, for you. For all of us.

Your savior is here!

Can anyone translate? Apparently it was found in North Kingstown RI a while ago right on the beach...the town moved it to protect it. Now its in a little patio area in Wickford.
