For the Keeper of Ancient Script
The Elder Futhark runes, carved into 2nd-century Nordic artifacts and Viking Age runestones like Sweden’s Rök Stone, were more than letters—they were conduits of seiðr (magic). These studs channel Odin’s sacrifice on Yggdrasil, where he grasped the runes’ secrets as recounted in the Hávamál. Each symbol whispers wisdom from the Poetic Edda, offering wearers a talisman of protection, clarity, and ancestral connection.
