Traditionally Runes are carved onto stone, wood, bone, metal or some similarly hard surface rather than drawn with ink on parchment. We primarily use Futhark symbols for our runes. Each symbol has a meaning and in addition to their use as written lanquage and marking territory, they were also believed to act as a talisman or charm for protection or fortune.
All of our Runes are made completely by hand, allowing for the slight variations that make each one special and unique. Once the medium is ready and shaped, sculpting tools are used to carve the symbol onto the rune and it is allowed to rest and after a few hours the symbol is reinforced. This process is repeated many times over the course of several days, always with purpose to infuse the meaning of the symbol into the Rune until it is completely dry and ready to be sent on its way.
Runes make a lovely, and very personal gift that can be tailored to any occasion, limited only by your imagination and placed anywhere you desire, in your car, bookcase, desk or bedside, secret or seen. If they are put outside in a flowerbed, near the entrance to your home, garden or on a windowsill, the Rune will naturally weather and deepen in color. It is our hope that you enjoy your Rune as much as we enjoyed creating it for you.
Our Runes are custom made unless we have a selection of featured designs. Check the gallery for additional examples.
