Silver inlaid #runes on an early #medieval iron spearhead, found in a burial at Wurmlingen, dating late 6th c. AD. The inscription reads DORIH - Dorich, a male name, probably the name of the owner or the blacksmith.
A couple of 11th century runic spell amulets found at Köpingsvik invoke Christ and the Virgin Mary on behalf of a woman named Oluv. She is being threatened by ”the roaring giant”, ”the three-headed giant” and ”the unmanly/homosexual giant”.
@si_fuller These healing runic spells always blame illness on supernatural beings. On the Ribe skull fragment from 725-750 it's a dwarf. Sometimes it's elfs. #runes#vikings
Sometimes @dev_ric is a bit lovely. He commissioned this for me and got it on a bag (shown here) and a poster. It's Murray the demonic skull from #MonkeyIsland with #FortuneTelling hands, #Runes and other bits and pieces I like.
Archaeologists from the National Museum in Copenhagen, using advanced 3D scanning technology, have made a significant discovery regarding the Jelling Stone Runes located in the town of Jelling, Denmark. The findings not only identified the individual behind the carving of these ancient stones but also shed light on the prominent role played by a Viking queen, Queen Thyra....
I'm new to witchcraft, very slowly learning as it's hard for me to read, and I'm especially new to runes. Been wanting to combine a protection & healing rune together to help with my health, but can't figure out how to combine them so it feels right. Any thoughts? #Witchcraft#Wiccan#Pagan#Runes#GreenWitch
I stayed up too late writing about how to get Svelte 5 pre-release alpha running so you can start building with Svelte Runes locally and discovered midway through a heaps easier way to do it. Aaaaaanyway here's how if you're interested. https://josh.is-cool.dev/running-runes-locally-with-svelte-5-pre-release-alpha/
(To make, just add a #Horse's severed head, a pole and some #Runes. Not to be confused with the #Vindgapi, which uses a #Ling#Fish head instead, and which is used to summon storms.)
The Heidentempel "#Pagan temple" is a rock in Tecklenburg (North Rhine-Westphalia/ #germany. It has been speculated that this site was used as a pagan sanctuary. Two niches have been cut into the rock wall. According to local legends, a sacrificial knife lay in the smaller one, while the bowl to collect the blood from the sacrificed animal lay in the bigger one. Several #runes of unknown age can be seen. Photos Martin L: https://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=47472#halloween
A mysterious queen named Thyra who lived during the Viking era may have been one of the founders of what is now Denmark.
Queen Thyra, the mother of King Harald Bluetooth, was commemorated on four commemorative runestones in different parts of Denmark – suggesting she was a powerful figure.
