Rune Art: The Runes of Elfland Part 1

The Runes of Elfland was a book and card deck published by Harry N Abrams, Inc in 2003. The book integrates the work of folklorist and poet Ari Berk with the artwork of Brian Froud.

The Runes of Elfland was described as allowing readers to discover the gateways to the faerie realm and explore this mysterious landscape and its denizens. Folklorist and poet Ari Berk provides the secret meanings of the runes as manifested within Brian Froud's paintings shaping the power of the images (Google.)

The delightful images are have whimsical designs drawing from the world of faery. The are provide a unique means of communicating rune correspondences.

The images were originally found and sourced from Kelly Fishbeck on Pinterest:

Subsequently, I also created a board to celebrate the collected designs:
