Faerybeads Elder Futhark Runic Alphabet

Coming soon! Faerybeads Elder Futhark Runic Alphabet.

The rune ᛇ (transl. ï or æ) stood for "yew (-tree)". The rune is sometimes associated with the world tree Yggdrasil, which, imagined as an ash in Norse mythology, may formerly have been a yew or an oak.

Rune names stood for their rune because of the first phoneme in the name. The names come from the vocabulary of daily life and mythology, some trivial, some beneficent and some inauspicious.



ᛝ Ingwaz (Proto-Germanic, transl. ŋ). In Old Norse Yngvi, Old High German Inguin and Old English Ingwine are names that relate to a theonym which appears to have been the older name for the god Freyr.
ᛋ Sōwilō (Proto-Germanic, transl. s) means "sun". It appears as Old Norse sól, Old English sigel, and Gothic sugil.
ᛞ Dagaz (Proto-Germanic, transl. d) means "day".
ᛇ  Eihaz (Proto-Germanic, transl. ï or æ) stood for "yew (-tree)".
ᚺ Hagalaz (Proto-Germanic, transl. h) meaning "hail" (the precipitation).
ᛈ  Perþaz (Proto-Germanic, transl. p) is believed to refer to "pear (-tree)".

Sita, these are beyond gorgeous

Wow! Gorgeous!

Oh wow... my wallet is doomed!

What wonderful details!

Beautiful! I want them all!

Another terrific design to go on my wishlist

I saw this on Facebook when I had limited coverage...WOW!!! So hard to choose!

These are wonderful, Sita.

Love them, very cool

I love these beads but they are a bit too big for me.
I would love Rune beads the size of the old Trollbead block letters.

I hear you and think the same A silver bead this size I can only wear with really tiny other silvers and amber, or my wrist hurts. And though I love amber, it is also rather limiting to be limited to it

I also already suggested smaller Runes to Sita and I think it would be wonderful if we were more and maybe another smaller design could be created

Since I have written a book called „Hagalaz“, I will nevertheless get a Hagalaz-Rune at some point And still, smaller runes would be a most wonderful thing!

I agree, a little big for me, but still beautiful!

Noted. Though these have the same outer diameter as glass beads, they're a solid 9grams silver.
Sporting all runes on (a) bracelet(s) would save you considerable time at the gym.
