141. The Runic Journey
An online exploration of the history and use of norse Runes.
http://www.tarahill.com/runes/
What Are Runes?
Runes are an alphabetic script used by the peoples of Northern Europe from the first century c.e. until well into the Middle Ages. In addition to their use as a written alphabet, the runes also served as a system of symbols used for magic and divination. Runes fell into disuse as the Roman alphabets became the preferred script of most of Europe, but their forms and meanings were preserved in inscriptions and manuscripts. The primary characteristic which distinguishes a runic alphabet from other alphabets is that each letter, or rune, has a meaning. For example, whereas "ay", "bee", and "cee" are meaningless sounds denoting the first three letters in our alphabet, the names of the first three runes, "fehu", "uruz", and "þurisaz" are actual words in the Germanic language, meaning "cattle", "aurochs", and "giant", respectively. Runes also have magical and religious significance as well, thus transforming the simple process of writing into a magical act. They are also used for divinatory readings and to create magical spells. Today, runes have been rediscovered as a symbolic system and have gained immense popularity as a means of divination. They are, however, much more than a curious alternative to Tarot cards for telling fortunes. They provide a key to understanding the lives and beliefs of the ancient people who created them, and have much to teach us about a way of life that was perhaps more inimately connected to the natural world, and to the realm of spirit, than our own.

THE STORY OF THE VOLSUNGS
(VOLSUNGA SAGA)
with Excerpts from the Poetic Edda
Online Medieval and Classical Library Release #29
Originally written in Icelandic (Old Norse) in the thirteenth century A.D., by an unknown hand. However, most of the material is based substantially on previous works, some centuries older. A few of these works have been preserved in the collection of Norse poetry known as the "Poetic Edda". The text of this edition is based on that published as "The Story of the Volsungs", translated by William Morris and Eirikr Magnusson (Walter Scott Press, London, 1888).

Norse Lands A n earthquake shatters Fenrir's invincible chains. The great wolf swallows the sun, and winter covers the earth for three long, cold years. Then a mighty blast from the horn of Hemidall, guardian of the gods' home, echoes across the world. The golden cock atop the World Tree crows loudly in reply. These are the signs. Ragnarok, "The Twilight of the Gods," the ultimate battle, the end of the world has arrived. One by one the gods will fall in unspeakable battles. The world will be engulfed in cataclysmic flames. Even the stars will fall. Ragnarok: when everything will be lost in a fiery blaze. The Vikings lived in a world that was harsh and dangerous. Their mythical world was just as threatening. Sky gods fought earth gods. Giants were always lurking. The violent end of the world was inevitable. Even Odin and Thor, the most powerful gods, were doomed to destruction at Ragnorak, the final, violent battle. TM

W elcome to the Enchanted Glyph creators of fine historical and mythological jewelry.
We are Ben Crenshaw and Janet Thatcher. Here we allow our love of history and fascination with mythology to fill the wellspring at inspiration's source. These themes are reflected in each of our original designs. We share our creations, executed as fine handcrafted jewelry, in celebration of our connection with the past.
Home again, home again jiggity-jog. It's been two months on the road but now we have return to our lovely corner of the New River Valley. Our sincerest thanks goes out to every one who came out to visit with us at the Sterling Renaissance Festival. We had a beautiful season, the weather was fine and we were kept very busy.
The one drawback of spending four days out of every seven in the woods is that it makes it very difficult for us to keep up with our correspondence as well as we would like. We appreciate all your kindness and patience during the hectic festival season. If you have tried to contact us over the summer but received no reply please accept our apologies here and try again. And if you placed an order during this time and are still waiting to receive it don't hesitate to drop a note to double check on its status. Now that we are back home and have full time access to the phone and computers we should have things running smoothly again in no time at all.

The Site Indepth A number of exceptionally rare Viking burials, probably dating from the early 10th century, have recently been discovered on farmland at Cumwhitton, Cumbria. Excavations carried out by Oxford Archaeology North found six richly furnished graves, containing swords, spears, jewellery and the remains of spurs and a possible horse harness. Other than a small fragment of skull no human bone had survived in the acid soil conditions, but the objects found in the graves suggest that four men and two women had been buried here.

http://members.aol.com/JehanaS/futhark/
Book Aettr Further Websites Note: Most Old Norse material hails from Scandanavia and Iceland. Much of the scholarly material has not been translated into English. Much more of the source information was never written down, or was written down subsequent to the advent of Christianity. This leaves the field ripe for speculation, and for figuring out "what works", or at least seems to. I do my share herein, but will admit this. A couple of scholarly (in an overview way) English language sites associated with universities are listed below

The Elder Futhark (Norse Runes) are a collection of 24 symbols divided into three families or aettr. They were inscribed on amulets for protection, luck in battle, etc. As the old Norse language had no future tense, these runes were not used for definitive future predictions, but could be consulted to understand trends based in the present (leaving the reader to extrapolate outward as appropriate). The 25th blank rune available in some sets is a modern invention not used by most students of the Runes. Some of the runes as depicted above were also written in other styles.
The Aettr:
Contained in the pages below are my interpretations (in a basic way) of the meanings of the runes, based on books, workshops I've attended, meditation, and inspiration garnered during readings. Rather than setting them in stone (pun intended), think of them as symbols which can trigger your own explorations on many levels. See how they manifest in, and interact with, your own life.

159. A Brief History Of Orkney - The Norse Takeover
Orkneyjar A Brief History of Orkney - The norse Takeover.
http://www.orkneyjar.com/history/history5.htm
Home About Orkney History Tradition ... Awards A Brief History of Orkney The Norse Takeover The Norsemen began to colonise Orkney in the eighth century AD and before long the islands became a vital link in their western sea-routes. Exactly how the Norse takeover of Orkney took place remains a hotly debated subject to this day. Was it a peaceful integration or did the Norsemen wipe out the indigenous population? Whatever the circumstances, by the end of the ninth century the Norwegian settlement was firmly established and Orkney's culture and way of life was entirely that of a Norse earldom - an earldom that became a powerful political unit and had considerable impact on the history of Scotland. The history of the Norse Earls of Orkney is recorded in the Orkneyinga Saga which recounts events up until the murder of the last of the Norse Earl in 1231. However, although elements of the saga are historically accurate, it remains a literary work and cannot be accepted as entirely trustworthy. The saga account, however, is not backed up by other references and is more than likely a thirteenth century Icelandic "creation", based on their traditions that it was the tyranny of Harald Fairhair that forced their forebears to leave Norway.

Her son is the glory of starlight in winter; Her daughter is might that wisdom demands; Brighter she shines than sheaves in the sunlight; Power and holiness flow from her hands. Rowan's strength is Thor's salvation; Berries red are witches' bale; Blossoms white give gentle blessing; Rowan fair will never fail. Hail to the Lady, the Light of the summer; Hail to the Rowan, holy and fair; Hail to the Goddess who hallows the harvest, Beautiful Sif with the sun in her hair.
