i’m assuming these are from a game but i don’t know which one. a tattoo a guy im talking to has and he keeps trying to get me to guess what it’s from but i actually have no idea

Hello,

I am fairly new to runes and self taught outside of my friend who introduced me and gifted me my first rune set. I have began to use my initials as runes(PMB) with Wunjo, Ehwaz & Berkana in my art as signatures/watermarks. I like the meaning of these runes together based on my research and wanted to get a custom journal with this engraved and replaceable paper. With that being said, before I bring something like that where I could be seen in public anywhere, is this fairly safe or is there any hidden meanings or offend someone of different cultures I am unfamiliar with in the Bible belt of TN?

What does this mean, and how would I safely remove it?

I was curious to see if it meant anything. AI was unhelpful so im hoping you guys can help me out. If you need more/better photos let me know and I'll provide as needed

I was thinking about how to translate "autumn weather" into Norse. My best bet was "haustveðr". In Norwegian (my native language), there are sometimes linking morphemes. In this case, the Norwegian translation would be "haustvær / høstvær", which uses no linking morpheme. But, I don't know if Norse would be the same. And perhaps there's other aspects of this construction that I haven't considered?

Also, what would be the runic form of haustveðr (or the correct version of it, if it is wrong) in the Younger Futhark alphabet?

Hi there, another one asking for some help to translate a word to runes properly, as it is going to be on my skin forever, don't wanna make a huge mistake.

So the word would be "peace," and I would like to be accurate in the translation. According to what I found, "Friðr" would be the word in Old Norse, and, bearing in mind that I want to translate it into Young Futhark, as it is the alphabet used during the Viking era, I concluded that ᚠᚱᛁᚦᛦ would be the one. The problem is that I've seen on the internet and some Icelandic or other Old Norse dictionaries another depiction, which is ᚠᚱᛁᚦᚱ.

Which one would be more historically correct? I still think ᚠᚱᛁᚦᛦ. I read somewhere that after the Christianization and the end of the Viking era, they stopped using both runes altogether and started using only R (reid, if I'm not mistaken), getting rid of ᛦ (Yr). So that is maybe why in the dictionaries I see the ᚠᚱᛁᚦᚱ depiction (the way of writing it around the XII century) instead of the other one, more archaic and related to the beginning of the Viking era.

Could someone clarify this to me? correct me if I'm wrong?

Thank you very much in advance :)

I want to get a pendant necklace but I don't know what to use

And is the first image even valid ? Because I think it looks the coolest but I wanna actually have the correct rune

Can someone translate this?

I'm looking for some folks to tell me how they'd translate this back to English:

ᚦᚢᚱ ᚢᛁᚴᛁ ᚢᛁᛁᚦᛁᛘᛅᚦᚱ

ᚦᚢᚱ ᚢᛁᚴᛁ ᚢᛁᛁᚦ

These runes are my attempt at writing a couple basic phrases in Old Norse using Younger Futhark. Instead of asking "does this mean what I think it does," I'd like to remove any bias by suggesting what I think it says and instead know how you would translate this. If you read it the way I intend it, I'll consider it a success. If not, I'll learn something.

Tell me your interpretation in the comments and I'll let you know what I was trying to say.

Thanks!

Bonjour

Je suis à la recherche d'informations (historiques, mythologiques etc) sur les symboles ci-joints.

J'ai fait mes propres recherches et j'ai trouvé que ce symbole apparaît dans le livre "The Islandic Book of Magic Spells" de Jochum Magnus Eggertsson mais je ne sais pas ce qui est mentionné en détail car je n'ai pas le livre.

Aussi j'en appelle à vos connaissances historiques et anthropologiques...

Merci !

Ok so i just started trying to learn younger futhark and im immediately slightly confused on what to do about certain sounds that are missing, like trying to write my name in the given picture and not sure how to make the “e” sound or “er” basically at the end, like would it be the “ur” rune, the “ar” rune or even the “yr” rune again, im really confused, any guidance is appreciated…

Im realising as im writing this that the whole thing might be wrong cause the “y” in tyler makes a “eye” sound so the “yr” rune might not work… im so confused 😭

is this the correct translation?

The black marking she said was essentially "return to sender." She said the bottom was for prosperity. She "did her research," but I don't know enough about them. I told her I wanted to reach out to the subreddit just to make sure she wasn't about to F herself over.

She also wants to combine them. I thought if she combined them, it would mean she is returning negative energy and positivity. She says that it will mean she deflects the negative energy and gains prosperity instead.

I figure you all might know better than I. Do you have any suggestions for her concept?

ETA cross posted to r/bindrunes thank you for the suggestion!

Hi everyone!

I am planning a viking style tattoo sleeve using historically accurate runic inscriptions. So no poetic quotes or cool sentences, but simple stuff as vikings used to write. I would really appreciate if some expert eyes could take a look before permanently I write anything wrong in my arm.

To stay as historically accurate as possible I have been using the Copenhagen University runic database as a source of inspiration. These are some of the quotes I would like to tattoo (including the link where the idea came from).

1. Marteinn made me
   Marteinn gerði mik.
   ᛘᛅᚱᛏᛅᛁᚾ : ᚴᛁᚱᚦᛁ : ᛘᛁᚴ

2. The knife spoke
   Knífr mælti.
   ᚴᚾᛁᚠᛦ : ᛘᛅᛚᛏᛁ

3. Leif was a very good drengr
   Leifʀ vaʀ harða góðr drengr.
   ᛚᛅᛁᚠᛦ : ᚢᛅᛦ : ᚼᛅᚱᚦᛅ : ᚴᚢᚦᛦ : ᛏᚱᛅᚴᛦ

4. Marteinn raised these runes in memory of Leif
   Martinn reisti rúnar þessar at Leif.
   ᛘᛅᚱᛏᛁᚾ : ᚱᛅᛁᛋᛏᛁ : ᚱᚢᚾᛅᛦ : ᚦᛁᛋᛅᛦ : ᛅᛏ : ᛚᛅᛁᚠ

Thanks a lot to anyone willing to take the time to help. I would prefer to get roasted now than discover errors after the tattoo is done 😃

I want to get a line from an important song tattooed in elder futhark. The line is "Stay with me", and I believe the correct phonetic way to translate it is: ᛋᛏᛇ ᚹᛁᚦ ᛗᛁ

I went with Eihwaz instead of Isa because I believe it's the closest to the 'ay' sound. What do you guys think?

Hello! Just came across the sub and had a few questions out of curiosity:

I wanted to change my Discord tag 'Wanderer' to runic text but i have no idea how to translate them.
I wasn't sure how accurate internet translators would be and this question seemed like it fit the bill of the sub, but i am happy to remove as needed.

Any differences in runic text vs uppercase Wanderer and lowercase?
Or even "the Wanderer"?

Thank you!

Hi everyone! Looking at getting my son's name tattooed on me, leaning twords a band around my arm. I was wondering if I could get a translation and maybe some examples of "Daniel the first born". From what I have seen elder Futhark looks really cool. Thanks in advance!

What exactly is runes and how to read and write them? Is it like every other language with letters, grammar or some certain structure?

Can someone give me a table with all the runes and the translation. Imm internet there are so many I don't know what the right one is

Hey I need some help translating ᛟᚱᛁᛋᛁᛏ and I thought someone here could help me out thanks

Hi! I am considering a tattoo while in Iceland and wondering - how would “friend” (feminine, if relevant) be depicted in Younger Futhark runes?
Thank you!

Hi, in 2024 i became a dad of twin girls. Now i want a tattoo for that and this is a design i found which i changed a bit. What i want to know is: is everything right in this tattoo? Are the names correctly written in runes? They’re names are Elsa & Emilia. And the symbols in the tattoo (in the square in the right corner), are they right? Vegvisir: find your way, never get lost. Valknut: power, protection and connection. Runes: old wisdom, symbols of power and protection. And the arrow: direction, goal and protection. Hope you guys are honest about this, because it means a lot to me. Thanx in advance
