Wooden runes - jewelry pendants with runes of the Elder Futhark

Rune jewelry, magical power

Today, runes are worn almost exclusively as jewelry pendants; their significance as a script has largely been lost. A runic symbol inscribed on bone, bronze, or wood signifies runic support. Different magical powers are attributed to the various runes. Runes are believed not only to protect us but also to offer guidance for our actions and thoughts.

Wooden runes of the Elder Futhark

The oldest surviving runic alphabet consists of 24 characters and is called the "Futhark" after its first six. Each letter corresponds to a sound, called a phoneme. A particularly characteristic feature of the Germanic runic script is that each rune has a proper name, which begins with the respective sound. Each rune also has its own unique definition and effect.
