Operative runic texts focus the will of the runer by way of symbolism, energize it, direct it, and refine it, while at the same time concealing it in mysterious signs. The content of such texts (a poem, spell, or curse) transcends time because it resonates with ancient…

Working With Wood
It’s always good if you enjoy working with the material you use predominantly. At the Wyrdkraft Workshop, wood is the most common material in use, so acquiring wood for workshop projects is a frequent activity hereabouts. Not all wood is equally suitable for projects, of course, and recently we took care of a dead tree that was blown over by a storm. It will make for better firewood than anything…

Younger Futhark Set in Black and Gold
Younger Futhark Set in Black and Gold
