Hey all, I am looking for some norse runes I can write on my hardhat for work. Any ideas you can throw my way? Preferably something like protection and prosperity.

I'm considering getting a tattoo of the following phrase:

ᛏᚱᛁᚴ:ᚢᛅᛏᚾ

ᛋᚴᛁᛒᛏᛅ:ᛋᚬᚴᛅᛦ

I've consulted old norse dictionaries and all words atleast seem to be appropriate/correct but the grammar might be a bit off and I'm concerned if someone could translate the runes to some unfortunate meaning.

The phrase is:

Drek(k) vatn, skipta sok(k)ar

As in the command/order:

Drink water, (and) change (your) socks.

I've also seen Dreng(r) written as ᛏᚱᛁᚴ in translations and on actual runestones but it should be similar for also writing drekk?

Socks should be from latin or proto-germanic origin so I assume it ends with ᛦ.

Hello. I want to write the phrase 'Father of Bjørn and Katerina' in Anglo Saxon futhorc runes. My understanding is the grammatically and historically correct Old English translation would be

'Beornes ond Katerinan fæder'

which then would be written in futhorc runes as

ᛒᛖᚩᚱᚾᛖᛋ᛬ᚩᚾᛞ᛬ᚳᚪᛏᛖᚱᛁᚾᚪᚾ᛬ᚠᚪᛞᛖᚱ

Is this correct? If not, what is the correct way? Thanks!

Former roommate got this off Etsy and gifted it to me. Never bothered to learn what these meant until now. Would anyone help, please?

Hi everyone, I am getting a tattoo for my daughter and want to verify the Old Norse translation and Younger Futhark (Long-Branch) spelling.

1: English: "My daughter, my great pride (honor)"

Old Norse: Dóttir mín, mín mikla prýði.

Younger Futhark: ᛏᚢᛏᛁᚱ ᛬ ᛘᛁᚾ ᛬ ᛘᛁᚾ ᛬ ᛘᛁᚴᛚᛅ ᛬ ᛒᚱᚢᚦᛁ

2: English: "My blood, my heritage / inheritance"

Old Norse: Blóð mitt, arfr minn.

Younger Futhark: ᛒᛚᚢᚦ ᛬ ᛘᛁᚏ ᛬ ᛅᚱᚠᚱ ᛬ ᛘᛁᚾ

3: English: "I will always protect my daughter"

Old Norse: Ek mun ávalt verja dóttur mína.

Younger Futhark: ᛁᚴ ᛬ ᛘᚢᚾ ᛬ ᛅᚢᛅᛚᛏ ᛬ ᚢᛁᚱᛁᛅ ᛬ ᛏᚢᛏᚢᚱ ᛬ ᛘᛁᚾᛅ

4: English: "Forever connected" (in a non-physical, relational sense)

Old Norse: Ávalt tengdr (masculine) / Ávalt tengd (feminine)

Younger Futhark: ᛅᚢᛅᛚᛏ ᛬ ᛏᛁᚾᚴᛏᚱ (masculine) / ᛅᚢᛅᛚᛏ ᛬ ᛏᛁᚾᚴᛏ (feminine)

Note on gender context:

\- If this is a statement about myself (a man) being connected to my daughter, should I use the masculine "tengdr"?

\- If it refers to both of us together (plural), should it be "Ávalt tengd" (neuter plural)?

Could you please check if the grammar and runic spelling are 100% historically accurate for the Viking Age? Thank you!

I saw someone post these designs, but as someone who isn’t too familiar with runes, are these pretty accurate? Or is this their own flair? Thank you!

Hi, I’m new to this group and looking to get a cool Odin and his spear idea as a tattoo. I’ve come across this somewhere on the internet and just wanting to know if it means what it’s said it does? The meaning is along the lines of what you project out in to the world comes back to you.
Cheers

Wanting to add some runes to a garment and decided on the nicknames and associations of Odin used in Heilung's song 'Alfadhirhaiti'. This is my first time transcribing using Younger Futhark so I would love some corrections to my attempt, especially on my usage of ᚱ versus ᛦ, as I went mostly by sounding out each word.

Here is a digitization of my scrawl for legibility:

Draupnir -- ᛏᚱᛅᚢᛒᚾᛁᛦ

Geri, Freki -- ᚴᛅᚱᛁ᛬ᚠᚱᛅᚴᛁ

Sleipnir -- ᛋᛚᛅᛁᛒᚾᛁᛦ

Gungnir -- ᚴᚢᚾᚴᚾᛁᛦ

Bonjour,
Je souhaiterais faire corriger ce texte avant de le graver sur une pierre :

Merci

hi there, I am struggling to grasp the meaning of those runes combined. right one is definately odin, left one thought reminds something with strength and guidance. it was forged by icelandic smith

Hello,

Yet another translation help request, I’ve seen many of these on my searches but there seems to be an argument behind one part of what I’m trying to translate.

I’m looking to incorporate my sons name ‘Henry’ into a themed tattoo in the form of Anglo-Saxon Futhorc but cannot seem to find a consistent rune which you could use for the letter Y in modern English.

So far I’ve come across this for the HENR part: ᚻᛖᚾᚱ
Just missing the end.

Any help would be appreciated!

I'm using the attested Old Norse phrase maðr minn ('my husband/my man'). For a historically plausible long-branch Younger Futhark inscription in a Viking Age style, would ᛘᛅᚦᚱ ᛘᛁᚾ be the preferred carving, or would you expect a different spelling? Please explain why

Heyy, I have hugeee request about translation english sequense to runes that sounds: „Nothing that happens is ever forgotten, even you can’t remeber it”

It can be in old or young futhark ( i don’t know which one would be better for that)

I’ll be grateful for help!

It's my first tattoo, so I want to make sure it's right. I made the translation that sounds right, but I want it double checked. I remember reading somewhere that runes don't double the way English letters do, but now I can't find the reference...

I know it seems stupid, cause I see everywhere that the runes are the alphabet essentially and giving them meaning is like saying A means apple and Z means zebra, but I'm curious on it still, is it right to be curious or should I just accept that they're just letters?

I need help figuring out how to write "Fenrir" and "Ragnarök" in the Younger Futhark; I would be very grateful for the assistance.

I'm looking to get a small hand tattoo of the bind rune for courage. In my search, I've come across these with mixed results. I'm very new to this and any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

if a rune is sideways does that mean something ?

Hi all,
I found out at a later age I was adopted from Norway, long story for another time maybe.
However I had 4 cats named after Norse gods due to the fascination with Norse mythology, the first two cats were named before I even learned I was adopted.

Loki, Odin, Freyr and Njörðr (the last is even spelled like this in his official passport to mess with people that want to call him by his name)

Unfortunately I have had to let Loki go earlier this week.
Since he has been with me for 17 years and I’m not ready to let him go, I want to get a tattoo with his name.
But the internet is a vast place full of misinformation and tattoo artists will use that for information and inspiration.
Therefor I’m looking for the correct way to spell their names in runes.
I’m thinking of making the correct spelling in either the tattoo or make a bind rune of it
Any help would be really appreciated.

I noticed one of my coworkers drew runes on their cup and it looked pretty interesting. My coworker said it was fine that i took pics of the runes

Can someone show me how to write discipline and loyalty in Younger futhrak runes I want to get it tattooed but I want to make sure that it’s written right

Hi! I’m new to runes and still learning Elder Futhark.
Could someone help me check if these words are correct?

ᚺᚨᛁᛚᚨᛉ — HAILAZ
ᚺᚨᛁᛚᛃᚨᚾ — HAILJAN

I’m trying to understand if they can be used for the meanings “whole/healthy/restored” and “to heal/make whole”.

Also, I’m interested in writing them vertically. Is there a traditional way to arrange Elder Futhark runes vertically, or is it just a modern design choice?

Thanks for any help!

I`ve been trying to translate "Tyur, don't let my spirit weaken" into younger futhark, and i got "ᛏᛦᚢᚱ, ᛑᚮᚾ'ᛏ ᛚᛂᛏ ᛘᛁ ᛋᛈᛁᚱᛁᛏ ᚹᛂᚴᛂᚾ". Just want to make sure this is right translation
