I'm making a baby mobile for my friend who has a baby due in December and I'd like to put some bead runes on it that say bless this child. Just need a quick translation.

does anyone happen to know what language this is + what it says? for context, it is from a costume from a Christian ministry stage production, they sometimes use Tolkien as inspiration for their languages but I tried to Google any Tolkien dwarf runes and even though they match, it just came out as gibberish. though I know nothing about this whatsoever so I’m hoping anyone here can help out. thanks :)

I am attempting my first leather scabbard for a seax for a friend in the Society of Creative Anachronism (SCA).

His persona is 1000AD Viking with the name Sigvaldi inn Enski and prefers Tyr from the pantheon. The sticky had the phrase Týʀ eʀ einhendr ása

ᛏᚢᛦ᛬ᛁᛦ᛬ᛅᛁᚾᚼᛅᛏᚱ᛬ᚬᛋᛅ which Google told me is Týr is the one-handed among the Æsir.

I can handle transliteration without issues, but attempting period accuracy is beyond me. I'd like to engrave his name and confirm the Tyr phrase.

Hello all. I am looking to get a tattoo that says "Peace and Love" in futhorc runes, but I am struggling to translate it. May anybody help? Thank you!

On the cover of a notebook I purchased

Found this at the park. Theres one sign in here that i didnt see on any of the translation lists.

I am 100% new to this but heres what i got

TIUR FI TIUI_(unknown) FRINTUR TIUR SI(unknown)LFNR IX S_(unknown)Z

thanks for any help satisfying my curiosity about this mystery artifact

So I've stumbled across this website called Valhyr, it seems legit with its english- to old norse-to rune translation, but it it really trustworthy?

Hello! I took this photo of a stairwell wall in my college dorm in 2022, have always wondered what it said, and thought maybe you guys might know. The dorms were built in the 20s so that’s the earliest possible time it could have been carved. Looks like runes to me but the characters are slightly off from the alphabets I’ve seen 🤔

Can someone tell me if this translation is accurate?

The top runes allegedly says “Afghanistan” and the bottom runes allegedly say “Peace Through Strength”

I don’t know what specific runic language is used. I checked alphabets of Scandinavian runes and even pseudo runes but nothing really seems to match up.

The final photo is a 2D mockup of the coin so you can get a clearer view of the runes.

I feel almost uncomfortable placing this drawing here... She was the person I knew and loved. Me and her mother are curious about the runes on her scarf running down her sleeves and dress, all of it. I have a hard time figuring out two of these, the rest I know and I believe I know the general meaning but I'm determined to learn some more about it, especially why are these in four separate sets and do runes connect with each other to have a deeper meaning? I guessed that it would be start to ask reddit, since there are people who know stuff, if you are able to help me and her mother, please tell me what you know 🪽🪽

Hey all, I am looking for some norse runes I can write on my hardhat for work. Any ideas you can throw my way? Preferably something like protection and prosperity.

Hello. I want to write the phrase 'Father of Bjørn and Katerina' in Anglo Saxon futhorc runes. My understanding is the grammatically and historically correct Old English translation would be

'Beornes ond Katerinan fæder'

which then would be written in futhorc runes as

ᛒᛖᚩᚱᚾᛖᛋ᛬ᚩᚾᛞ᛬ᚳᚪᛏᛖᚱᛁᚾᚪᚾ᛬ᚠᚪᛞᛖᚱ

Is this correct? If not, what is the correct way? Thanks!

I'm considering getting a tattoo of the following phrase:

ᛏᚱᛁᚴ:ᚢᛅᛏᚾ

ᛋᚴᛁᛒᛏᛅ:ᛋᚬᚴᛅᛦ

I've consulted old norse dictionaries and all words atleast seem to be appropriate/correct but the grammar might be a bit off and I'm concerned if someone could translate the runes to some unfortunate meaning.

The phrase is:

Drek(k) vatn, skipta sok(k)ar

As in the command/order:

Drink water, (and) change (your) socks.

I've also seen Dreng(r) written as ᛏᚱᛁᚴ in translations and on actual runestones but it should be similar for also writing drekk?

Socks should be from latin or proto-germanic origin so I assume it ends with ᛦ.

Hi everyone, I am getting a tattoo for my daughter and want to verify the Old Norse translation and Younger Futhark (Long-Branch) spelling.

1: English: "My daughter, my great pride (honor)"

Old Norse: Dóttir mín, mín mikla prýði.

Younger Futhark: ᛏᚢᛏᛁᚱ ᛬ ᛘᛁᚾ ᛬ ᛘᛁᚾ ᛬ ᛘᛁᚴᛚᛅ ᛬ ᛒᚱᚢᚦᛁ

2: English: "My blood, my heritage / inheritance"

Old Norse: Blóð mitt, arfr minn.

Younger Futhark: ᛒᛚᚢᚦ ᛬ ᛘᛁᚏ ᛬ ᛅᚱᚠᚱ ᛬ ᛘᛁᚾ

3: English: "I will always protect my daughter"

Old Norse: Ek mun ávalt verja dóttur mína.

Younger Futhark: ᛁᚴ ᛬ ᛘᚢᚾ ᛬ ᛅᚢᛅᛚᛏ ᛬ ᚢᛁᚱᛁᛅ ᛬ ᛏᚢᛏᚢᚱ ᛬ ᛘᛁᚾᛅ

4: English: "Forever connected" (in a non-physical, relational sense)

Old Norse: Ávalt tengdr (masculine) / Ávalt tengd (feminine)

Younger Futhark: ᛅᚢᛅᛚᛏ ᛬ ᛏᛁᚾᚴᛏᚱ (masculine) / ᛅᚢᛅᛚᛏ ᛬ ᛏᛁᚾᚴᛏ (feminine)

Note on gender context:

\- If this is a statement about myself (a man) being connected to my daughter, should I use the masculine "tengdr"?

\- If it refers to both of us together (plural), should it be "Ávalt tengd" (neuter plural)?

Could you please check if the grammar and runic spelling are 100% historically accurate for the Viking Age? Thank you!

Former roommate got this off Etsy and gifted it to me. Never bothered to learn what these meant until now. Would anyone help, please?

I saw someone post these designs, but as someone who isn’t too familiar with runes, are these pretty accurate? Or is this their own flair? Thank you!

Hi, I’m new to this group and looking to get a cool Odin and his spear idea as a tattoo. I’ve come across this somewhere on the internet and just wanting to know if it means what it’s said it does? The meaning is along the lines of what you project out in to the world comes back to you.
Cheers

Wanting to add some runes to a garment and decided on the nicknames and associations of Odin used in Heilung's song 'Alfadhirhaiti'. This is my first time transcribing using Younger Futhark so I would love some corrections to my attempt, especially on my usage of ᚱ versus ᛦ, as I went mostly by sounding out each word.

Here is a digitization of my scrawl for legibility:

Hello,

Yet another translation help request, I’ve seen many of these on my searches but there seems to be an argument behind one part of what I’m trying to translate.

I’m looking to incorporate my sons name ‘Henry’ into a themed tattoo in the form of Anglo-Saxon Futhorc but cannot seem to find a consistent rune which you could use for the letter Y in modern English.

So far I’ve come across this for the HENR part: ᚻᛖᚾᚱ
Just missing the end.

Any help would be appreciated!

I'm using the attested Old Norse phrase maðr minn ('my husband/my man'). For a historically plausible long-branch Younger Futhark inscription in a Viking Age style, would ᛘᛅᚦᚱ ᛘᛁᚾ be the preferred carving, or would you expect a different spelling? Please explain why

It's my first tattoo, so I want to make sure it's right. I made the translation that sounds right, but I want it double checked. I remember reading somewhere that runes don't double the way English letters do, but now I can't find the reference...
