Hi, welcome to my blog.

An English Futhark (temporary name) - My current project, a completely phonetic runic alphabet for the English language, based mostly on the Medieval Runes, intended for heathen writing. Still a work in progress, there will probably be some slight changes. All posts tagged under #english futhark.

The Aesthetic Hávamál - A side project, creating aesthetic images from every verse of the Hávamál. All posts tagged under #aesthetic havamal.

Bastardized Old Norse - My attempt at creating a simplified and more easily accessible Old Norse. Currently a closed project, but I’ll bring it back if there’s interest (and if I find the documentation). All posts tagged under #BOSP (yes I know it should be #BONP, I have literally no idea why it isn’t, that’s just how it ended up while it was an ongoing project).

An Invocation to Bragi in an English Futhark

From @windcauldron​‘s ‘An Invocation to Bragi’ prayer.

Original:

Bragi, first of Skalds,  Bearer of harp and word,  I invoke you, son of Odin,  To assist me in song unheard.  Guide my hands as I create,  To pen and play new melodies.  Bless me with your holy guidance,  And may we share sweet harmonies.
