Here begins our Rune of the Month (or maybe fortnight... we'll see how we go) endeavor.
Each month, I will post up a rune that I have chosen at random from a hat (actually it's a plastic container from my kitchen). I have included in the container all of the Elder Futhark runes and the extra runes from the Anglo Saxon Futhorc... this way we will have runes from all three of the major futhark/orcs and each will have an equal chance of being chosen or putting themselves forward. When each is chosen, I will post it's name and some basic data, including the closest 'equivalent' rune from the Younger Futhark and Anglo Saxon Futhorc. Then everyone can add some information, experience or insight that they have to offer regarding this rune. Each rune will then miraculously have it's name in the Index List linked to the page in this thread where it's discussion begins. If we ask very nicely, someone might even sticky the thread for us.
In the interests of this being a collaborative effort, please DO NOT post entire essays on everything that you know about the rune... lets give everyone a chance to contribute and have their say. Appropriate things to post about include history or archaeological attestations (though personally I'd rather we stuck to personal experiences), alternative names/spellings/pronunciations, modern rune poems, personal insights, meditations, divinations, uses for magick, uses for galdr, uses for bindrunes, correspondences, stadhagaldr stances/runic yoga, pictures, poems, stories and anything else that you feel is relevant to the rune of the month. Ask questions of each other, discuss the finer points of a philosophy, but please remember to be civil and considerate of each others' personal opinions and experiences. There are no wrong answers here and new or modern experiences are encouraged. Also, please remember to include sources where appropriate... plagiarism is not tolerated at PF and is incredibly bad manners.
