There is no generally accepted set of rules between English and ancient runic alphabets. This explains why I say that no correct conversion into runes can exist. However, I believe they are logical, I can explain them, and I offer them for free to everyone. The algo that stands behind the converter is my attempt to achieve transliteration rules between modern English and five runic alphabets: Elder Futhark, Anglo-Saxon Futhorc, long branch and short twig Younger Futhark and staveless runes. That’s why I created a rune converter and wrote a guide on How to Write a Name for a Tattoo. That’s what I plan to do, but before I post these I decided to cover some options that might seem to be totally discarded in my previous article.įirst of all, if you plan to write in runes a name (your own, or names of your dear ones), you can’t find it on the Viking Age runestones, unless you are one thousand years old. I also promised to find interesting fragments of the Viking Age inscriptions for you. The practical advice I gave at the end of my text was to find a fragment of an existing Viking Age Younger Futhark inscription and use it for your tattoo, carving or engraving. Let’s consider what can be done about that. In my previous post on How to Translate Into Runes Correctly I wrote that no such thing as a correct representation of an English or Old Norse text in Norse runes can be achieved in practice.
