This Hyperborean variety of the Elder Futhark is based on the “Long Runic Row” or “Holy Row” and points back to the ancient Arctic tradition, where each rune represents a specific place in the day, year, and life of the people.
The rendering of the runes follows Herman Wirth’s description in “Der Aufgang der Menschheit” from 1928. As a result, the aetts run from left to right, replicating the procession of the sun from the east to west as well as its counterclockwise cycle from the winter solstice (on the bottom of the circle, in the south) through the vernal equinox (the east) to the summer solstice (the north), on to the fall equinox (the west) and finally back to the winter solstice where the cycle starts anew.
We offer a complete set of attractive Hyperborean Elder Futhark runes, burned on oak disks and finished with boiled Linseed oil. Thick, meaty runes that feel great in your hand. The edges are twice banded.
All of our Runes are hand cut, sanded, burned, and stained.
