Amy and I have an interest in modern pagan practices and religions. This takes a look at spiritualism from the viewpoint of anthropologists and includes forays into human consciousness and psychic phenomena like racial history. The two most popular icons along this line are probably Tarot and the Viking runes, called Futhorc or Futhark. Here, we proudly present Amy's take on a very artistic interpretation.
This includes the Aettir, three lines of eight, that are standard to Northern European runic science, and using historically correct techniques, creates a group of portable runes that can be used with ancient techniques.
This set of old norse runes is quite possibly the most popular modern interpretation, with a modern extra blank rune called "Wyrd". We figure, this is one of the most popular sets in the modern day, and if you don't like it, you can just leave it out.
The runes themselves are drawn by hand using discount red enamels, following with tradition. So, these aren't just painted on, they are fired on, making the runes very durable in comparison.
At its core, these practices seem to draw from the collective subconscious icons of divergent cultures all over the earth, and taps into those roots, "universal truths", to provide us with insight we could not extract without a tool.
These Runes are made with a swirled red-orange on an eggshell to white background. The overall appearance is of faux agate, although that's not what Amy was trying to do. The clear caps spread on some of them (Hot Glass Is Fractal! LOL) adding to the appearance and giving the runes a clear space on some of them. Amy said the glass came in a shipment and was in need of TLC. She had to cut and nip to get good shapes. These turned out a bit irregular in shape. The runes were drawn on in enamels. We could have ground and polished them to a uniform shape, but it didn't seem like the right thing to do with these.
These will come in a copper colored velvet drawstring pouch.
