Learning Futhark the Rune Alphabet better known as Fehu or Old Fehu can be a fun experience if you combine it with another activity like playing in the woods, sewing a sweater carving stones or wood and more.

Learning what the runes mean is one thing but have you tried crafting runes together to a pattern for instance?

It can be done on most surfaces with the right tools and are a good way to learn even more while having a good time.

You can put multiple runes together so they get a meaning and also discover that putting just a couple of runes together become more than just the ones you thought of when looking at it afterwards.

There are several ways to bind runes together and it’s only yourself and your imagination that decides the boundaries.

It’s possible to bind them together so they get an alphabetical meaning,a spell,symbolise things or just create a pattern for design.

It’s of course more fun to bind them together and discover new ways of to read and decipher the bound runes.

Combining it together with crafting something is a more fun way to learn the more advanced way of binding runes together.

It’s all about creativity,thinking and imagination.

Runes are also used to predict the future by some people.

Like tarot cards but with runes and a little bit different.

There are books on how to do it.

The examples in the picture was just made randomly without thinking but it’s possible to look at it again and see if it actually meant something or not.

As I said it can also be used as decoration and you decide for yourself the outcome.

I would though suggest that if you’re decorating something you should try thinking while/before binding them as you may craft something without knowing what it means.

Not that it matters just for practicing or fun but for more personal things like gifts,weddings and decoration on things you wear or use I would suggest that you make it with your own interpretation to it.

Go ahead, explore,read,have fun,bind and craft.

There is more possibilities than you might know about.



When you marry someone and want to make it special you can find a sacred pagan place and carve your names into a tree for instance.

My junior school teacher told me how she got married using runes outdoors.

They went up to Fantoft stave church which originally is a sacred Pagan place and carved their names in a tree.

Both were Pagans so they didn’t want to marry in a church and have a big wedding so she told us how simple it could be.

Personally I find it way more romantic to hold a wedding or other personal events outdoors on a fine spring day for instance.

It’s more memorable and nice to look back at and I also prefer silver rings with runes carved.

Today many choose the most expensive wedding ring they can find while I prefer the more simple yet more romantic and memorable things.

That’s another thing I miss, less cameras.

A friend of mine once said after we visited : Let’s just remember this evening as something special, we don’t need photos and he was right.

More info soon..
