The scattered research history of the Old Frisian runic inscriptions dating to the early Medieval period (ca. AD 400–1000) calls for a comprehensive and systematic reprocessing of these objects within their socio-cultural context and against the backdrop of the Old English Runic tradition. This book presents an annotated edition of 24 inscriptions found in the modern-day Netherlands, England and Germany. It provides the reader with an introduction to runological methodology, a linguistic commentary on the features attested in the inscriptions, and a detailed catalogue which outlines the find history of each object and summarizes previous and new interpretations supplemented by pictures and drawings. This book additionally explores the question of Frisian identity and an independent Frisian runic writing tradition and its relation to the contemporary Anglo-Saxon runic culture. In its entirety, this work provides a rich basis for future research in the field of runic writing around the North Sea and may therefore be of interest to scholars of historical linguistics and early Medieval history and archaeology.

One of the most well-known potential forgeries is SG-65 Kleines Schulerloch, which has provoked controversies and debates among scientists of various disciplines since its discovery. In this study an interdisciplinary grid of methods was developed and applied to the inscription of the Kleines Schulerloch in order to analyse its authenticity. Due to the approach new results could be made, leading to a revised edition entry of the inscription.

Introduction to the use of runes as a practical script for a variety of purposes in Anglo-Saxon England. Runes are quite frequently mentioned in modern writings, usually imprecisely as a source of mystic knowledge, power or insight. This book sets the record straight. It shows runes working as a practical script for a variety of purposes in early English times, among both indigenous Anglo-Saxons and incoming Vikings. In a scholarly yet readable way it examines the introduction of the runic alphabet (the futhorc) to England in the fifth and sixth centuries, the forms and values of its letters, and the ways in which it developed, up until its decline at the end of the Anglo-Saxon period. It discusses how runes were used for informal and day-to-day purposes, on formal monuments, as decorative letters in prestigious manuscripts, for owners' or makers' names on everyday objects, perhaps even in private letters. For the first time, the book presents, together with earlier finds, the many runic objects discovered over the last twenty years, with a range of inscriptions on bone, metal and stone, even including tourists' scratched signatures found on the pilgrimage routes through Italy. It gives an idea of the immense range of informationon language and social history contained in these unique documents. The late R.I. PAGE was former Professor of Anglo-Saxon in the University of Cambridge.

Our ancestors were given sacred, magickal gifts and knowledge from the creators. These gifts and knowledge were passed from generation to generation as part of the ancestral inheritance. They were available to all, but resonated stronger with the few that could discern and understand their deeper meanings. The Elder Futhark is the oldest form of the runic alphabet used by Northwest Germanic tribes during the Migration period. Germanic Runic inscriptions from the 2nd to 8th centuries are found on artifacts such as jewelry, amulets, tools, weapons and stones. The Runes are used to understand and shape one's environment, pronounce and execute judgements, and project the will. The vibrational energies of the Runes combine with the circuits in the soul and body creating powerful projections of energies. There are three components to a Rune; the SHAPE, the NAME, and the VIBRATION of the name. Many times the name and vibration sound different. The shape of the Rune, as with all things, projects vibrational energies. This aspect can be discovered through reflective study. This work explores all three aspects. The last section of the book explores Bind Runes; their use and composition. Several examples are covered from my own workings and books. This work provides insights to the knowledge, gifts, and powers our ancestors embraced.

Offers a full introduction to and survey of runes and runology: their history, how they were used, and their interpretation. Runes, often considered magical symbols of mystery and power, are in fact an alphabetic form of writing. Derived from one or more Mediterranean prototypes, they were used by Germanic peoples to write different kinds of Germanic language, principally Anglo-Saxon and the various Scandinavian idioms, and were carved into stone, wood, bone, metal, and other hard surfaces; types of inscription range from memorials to the dead, through Christian prayers and everyday messages to crude graffiti. First reliably attested in the second century AD, runes were in due course supplanted by the roman alphabet, though in Anglo-Saxon England they continued in use until the early eleventh century, inScandinavia until the fifteenth (and later still in one or two outlying areas). This book provides an accessible, general account of runes and runic writing from their inception to their final demise. It also covers modern uses of runes, and deals with such topics as encoded texts, rune names, how runic inscriptions were made, runological method, and the history of runic research. A final chapter explains where those keen to see runic inscriptions can most easily find them. Professor MICHAEL P, BARNES is Emeritus Professor of Scandinavian Studies, University College London.

The book has several color illustrations, charts of the symbols, and a clear chapterized text. Runes and Rune Reading: An Introduction to the Runic Symbols of Northern Europe joins a fairly large contingent of volumes contributing to this popular topic. Modern readers of all ages are fascinated by the medieval world, and many adults are also drawn to the intuitive possibilities of the somewhat mysterious nordic runes. "Rune Reading" occurs when a person looks at a runic symbol, chosen in one of various ways, and reflects on the qualities which it traditionally represents. This can be done for oneself, or for others. It can be done just to provide "a thought for the day" as inspiration from the natural world. Or, for believers - the author admits to being one such, despite his early training in science - the runes might be considered a tool for accessing a beneficial higher guidance. But we can also call this simply common sense, or conscience, or a blend of the two. The bottom line, however, is always that we make our own decisions, and are at our best when acting prudently and for the benefit of all. This particular author makes remarks that might have come from the language of psychology and counseling. He has lived in or traveled in the lands from which the runes emerged (and, although he does not say so in the book, has an academic background in language and linguistics). But this is not meant as an academic book as such. Far from it. It is meant to be fully accessible to general readers from teen upwards. The glimpse which the book Runes and Rune Reading provides, into the northern European mindset of a thousand years ago, is expressed with humor and a mildly scholarly touch. Each of the best-accepted 24 runes (they are primarily letters of an alphabet that never saw general use) is presented in a mini-chapter of its own. Its link with nature is established, as is its meaning for the "enquirer", assisted by the "rune reader" to whom the book is mainly directed. The rune names given and discussed are the Old English or Anglo-Saxon ones. The continental Germanic names are provided in charts, and many of these are mentioned in the text. The Viking connection is not ignored: it was Viking longships which brought rune-lore to many places outside Scandinavia, including of course the British Isles and Ireland. Whatever reason buyers or borrowers may have for picking up the book, they will come away with a sense of a piece of history which is not entirely remote; at once alien yet quite tantalizingly familiar in places.

Download The Rune Poem Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
In the dark forests of Northern Europe at the end of the last millennium, runes - ancient symbols of the natural world- were respected and feared as messages from gods and humbly consulted for divine guidance and predictions. Carved on jewelry, tools, weapons, and inscribed on boundary stones and markers, runes served as signs and talismans in a mysterious time. Originally written in Anglo Saxon in the early Middle Ages, The Rune Poem gives us an alphabet verse for these mystical inscriptions. Transcribed here into graceful modern English by poet Jim Paul, this ancient work is illustrated with richly textured carvings and lustrous illuminations. A beautiful and startling evocation, enhanced with informative contemporary notes, The Rune Poem, with its timeless power, links us to ages past and provides a key through which we may understand these primal symbols.

Download Runes and Their Secrets Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Runes and Their Secrets is a collection of articles written mainly in English by recognized scholars, examining a wide range of runological topics. The articles originated as papers read at an international runic symposium that was held in 2000. Jelling Runes embraces Danish runic inscriptions from the first to the sixteenth century, including such topics as the names of the runes, their chronology, literacy, runic coins, etc. There are also articles on the oldest runic research and runic magic. Several of the articles present brand new knowledge, for example about runic encryption of military and erotic secrets from the middle of the sixteenth century. (Formerly titled: Jelling Runes)
