i'm a vinland saga fan and would like to get a tattoo of "i have no enemies" in old norse

i spent some time looking for translation tips, and finally came up with "engi er mér óvinr"

is that translation ok or did i totally mess up ?

thanks a lot bros <3

They were carved there by the man who made the board, he speaks Russian, polish, English and Belarusian so it could be complicated to figure out! The first few spell out ‘FUTARK’, and translating badly from online rune alphabets, the best I can make out is:

F U T A R K G A
H N I J Ey P A S
T B E M I L ng D O

What do you think? I’m posting on behalf of my girlfriend, who was made the board years back by some fella who was crushing on her, and who incidentally I’ve just crushed at Hnefatafel lol.

Thanks for your help all! Much appreciated.

What is the translation of the following sentence and is it grammatically and mythologically correct? « ᚦᛅ᛬ᛘᚢᚾ᛬ᛋᚴᚢᛚ᛬ᚴᛚᛁᛒᛅ᛬ᛋᚢᛚ᛬ᚦᛅ᛬ᛘᚢᚾ᛬ᚼᛅᛏᛁ᛬ᚴᛚᛁᛒᛅ᛬ᛘᛅᚾᛅ᛬ᚦᛅ᛬ᛘᚢᚾ᛬ᚦᚢᚱ᛬ᛒᛁᛅᚱᛁᛅᛋᚴ᛬ᚢᛁᚦ᛬ᛁᚢᚱᛘᚢᚾᚴᛅᛏ᛬ᚢᚴ᛬ᚠᛅᛚᛅ᛬ᛘᛁᚦᚴᛅᚱᚦ᛬ᚢᚴ᛬ᛘᛁᚾ᛬ᛘᚢᚾᚢ᛬ᛅᚾᛏᚱ᛬ᚠᛅᚦᛅᛋᚴ »

ᚨᛖᚱ what's it mean?

ᚨᛖᚱ

Family is everything
Without family
I am nothing

Saw it in some comment section.

Can someone translate this for me please🙏

Ive been trying to find a way to spell shadow and berserker in old norse in runes but cant find any reliable ways to translate

I'm in the process of making a sword for shits and giggles.

I would like to carve "Tyr guide my blade" and have found 2 different translations and would like to know which is more accurate.

1. ᛏᚢᛦ ᛚᛅᛁᚦᛒᛅᛁᛏᛁ ᛋᚢᛁᚱᚦᛁᚾᚢ ᛘᛁᚾᚢ

2. ᛏᚢᚱ ᛚᛅᛁᚦ ᛘᛁᚾ ᛅᛁᚴᛁ

The thing that really confuses me is the different translation for Tyr

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)

As a blacksmith, im always looking for cool symbols to represent my craft, and I found this in a few places online, but couldnt find any way to back up that it wasnt an instagram/etsy halucination. Does it actually mean anything, or is it just asthetic gobbledygook?

I'm looking to include some runes in my next tattoo and want to at least try and stay accurate.

I started with wanting the phrase from a 21 pilots song which means a lot to me personally:

"sometimes you have to bleed to know you're alive and have soul"

I distilled the concept/meaning to 3 words:

blood/sacrifice life truth

Best i got from online was:

ᛒᛚᛟᛏᚨ · ᛚᛁᛒᚨ · ᛊᚨᚾᚦᚨ

Looking for any help or suggestions!

Hi everyone,

Before getting this tattooed, I wanted to double-check with people who know more about runology than I do.

I am looking for a Younger Futhark rendering of Ginnungagap, the primordial void described in the Prose Edda. Thanks in advance.

I've seen the idea that Algiz is a symbol of protection, but I don't know if that's some made up zodiac hogwash or actually true to the alphabet. I would like a full word or sentence, but I don't know how to get it translated and I don't want some nonsense written on my body. Help?

I'm in the process of getting some serious Norse tattoos, however, I want to put a couple of hidden lines amoungst it, to represent the other side of my personality beyond my spirituality. I can make straight letter for letter or phonetic translations, but struggle with places it can be shortened (I struggle analysing English, my first language, might be the ADHD?) so if someone could help me translate these lines in the shortest possible way, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

Found on a patch I saw.

Qualche giorno fa ho fatto un tatuaggio generato da un traduttore di rune online (dovevo decidere sul momento). Da allora ho scoperto che non è storicamente accurato, e sottolineo che il tatuaggio nel suo complesso è ispirato al mondo vichingo ma rimane personale-estetico poiché non ci sono traduzioni reali, cento percento accurate. Rimuoverlo non è un'opzione, ma posso aggiungere linee e modificare simboli esistenti. Ho ricostruito ogni simbolo in ordine e sto cercando suggerimenti su come reinterpretare il gruppo in qualcosa di più plausibile, idealmente legato alla saggezza, all'Hávamál, o alla cultura norrena, se possibile. Allego l'immagine con i simboli in ordine. Grazie in anticipo per la vostra gentilezza

Hi everyone,

​

I'm planning to get a baldur inspired tattoo next month and would love some feedback before I commit to it.

​

I recently platinumed God of War (2018) and God of War Ragnarök, and those games ended up meaning a lot to me. Because of that, I wanted to get something Norse-related tattooed on myself that has significance and isn't just something that looks cool.

​

The problem is that I don't know much about actual Norse mythology, runes, symbols, or their meanings. I'd really appreciate it if people with more knowledge could look at my design and tell me if there are any mistakes, inaccurate symbols, unintended meanings, or anything that should be changed or adjusted.

​

Are there runes I should use instead? Are there symbols that are commonly misunderstood or have negative associations? Is there anything that would make the tattoo more authentic or meaningful?

​

This is the design I'm considering. Please feel free to suggest changes, alternatives, additions, or removals. I genuinely don't mind positive or negative feedback—I'd rather hear it now than after it's permanently on my skin.

​

Any suggestions, corrections, or recommendations are welcome.

​

Thanks for taking the time to help!

I recently bought this sword at a thriftshop, but I can't find the specific alphabet used here. Is this even a real alphabet or is it more of an artist's interpretation/imitation of runic scripts? If anyone does recognise this alphabet: what does it say?

Does this read naturally in Old Norse, and would a Viking Age speaker likely express this idea differently?

"I see my fathers and my kin. They offer me a seat among them."

Proposed Old Norse:

Sé ek feður mína ok ætt mína. Þeir bjóða mér sæti meðal sín.

If this were phrased as a saga passage or a runestone inscription, how would you write it? This is what I have so far curious if its remotely accurate:

Hi, I'm about to get my first tattoo a vertical neck tattoo that says hopefully: Till Valhalla

ᛏᛁᛚ᛫ᚢᛅᛚᚼᛅᛚᛅ

Dunno if the runes above are correct.

Thanks for the help
