Runes! This was an assignment to create a set of flashcards that would appeal to kids and adults for my Type 1 class. They each have the rune symbol, the name of the rune, the meaning in English, the meaning (roughly translated by google, thanks google) in Norwegian, and a little icon I made. I made the big rune characters, but the display font is Comic Runes by takuminokami on Font Space (thanks internet). The cards are 3 inches by 4.5 inches. 

Also please don’t yell at me if the meanings of these are wrong, my research was not particularly scholarly. (Once again, thanks internet :p)

Sweet, what a nifty little guide

This is such a cool idea!

Awesome! Quick question: are runes part of a closed culture?

[plantanarchy]

No, these runes here are the Elder Futhark, used as a writing system in the area that would be Scandinavia/Northern Germanic region. The names are Proto-Germanic reconstructions, so yeah, the culture that used these are very very dead. Similar runes were used by the Anglo-Saxons and the Vikings (the Anglo-Saxons added a bunch of runes and the Vikings used less runes and some different ones and this was centuries later).

The reason we know the “meanings” and names of the runes at all is because of a handful of rune poems that were initially used as mnemonic devices to remember them. The actual system of divination and magic via Elder Futhark runes is very modern and goes back to ~the 60s I believe? There’s some archeological evidence that runes may have been used for more than just a writing system, and the Havamal (old important morality poem for heathens) mentions that Odin hung on the world tree and sacrificed himself to himself and returned with knowledge of the runes. It also discusses that runes can be used for magic (though it doesn’t get into which runes or how to do the magic).

So, to me personally, it does seem a bit weird to use the runes as just another divination tool without using them in context of the spiritual/religious paradigm they are connected to, but there are a lot of people that do and seem to have success with it. And I’d be cautious with getting into using them unless you’re willing to suddenly have Northern Germanic gods busting down your door whether you like it or not. Though feeling a pull toward the runes in general may mean they already have you.

Its like 2:30 am and ive been crying about my crush for a solid hour, Why Am I Like This

[spririte]

Man today Just Sucks

[[MORE]]

I was excited because we're getting new people in the store, Natalie was supposed to close tonight. But Mailie texted me and said that she cant come in today and nearly roped me into a double, and im just so DONE. Theres only one other person here who puts in a shred of effort and shes not even the store owner. I just wanted to get through my two weeks with no incident, but instead im dealing with the same bullshit I was getting weeks ago when I was constantly getting called in on my days off. I haven't had a break in 6 days, going on 7 days tomorrow, and im sick of it!!! Im angry, and tired

It doesnt seem like its really been a good day for any of my other friends either and while im normally able to get in the groove and help them out in the venting channel its just too taxing on me today. I cant do anything without getting upset

Even at customers!! Its been harder and harder to keep a cheery face for customers, and I can feel myself gritting my teeth whenever they come through the door even though theyve done nothing wrong

Im just so tired and sick of this place. I want to be home. I want to sleep in. I want to play my games, I want to have a life outside of being this store owner's barista bitch because shes too lazy to run the store herself. I want people to be reliable and I want to have days off where I dont have to ignore my phone in fear that theyre going to call me in

And I know its coming so, so soon. But ive just never been more sick and tired of the way I get treated here and the way my coworkers blow off their positions.

You literally took this position because you said you could, Natalie. I dont know what reason you had to cancel. Maybe it was a good one and im just mad for the sake of being mad. But good god, if youre going to commit, then fucking commit. Youre young but youre not a kid anymore. Stop shirking your responsibilities.

At least I have mac and cheese and ShB to hold me down when I get home
