Wyrdwayz - The World of Anglo Saxon Runes Introduction to the Series
Welcome to Wyrdwayz. Following on from my last runic series about the Elder Futhark and the runic wheel of the year, I bring you Wyrdwayz, where we delve into the world of the Anglo-Saxons and their runes.
In around 450 BC, after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, migrants from the continent began crossing the North Sea and settling in Britain. These warrior farmers brought with them a runic alphabet. When on British soil this alphabet grew and evolved to become the Futhorc.
In this series, I look at each of the runes contained in the Old English rune poems and explore the meanings and myths surrounding each one as well as a good dose of history. My aim is to bring alive the rich culture of our heathen Anglo-Saxon ancestors. I will also be reciting each of the rune poems in Old ...

Why we should go back to writing in runes
ᚻᛖᛚᛚᚩ! Let me explain why runes are better than our alphabet. And go to https://ground.news/robwords to stay fully informed and see through the headlines with Ground News. Save 40% on unlimited access to the Vantage Plan through my link for one month only.
Before the Roman alphabet, #English was written out using runes ᚠᚢᚦᚩᚱᚳ. And I think... they were better.
Allow me to explain why as we explore how #runes were used in the distant past, how they've been abused by groups like the Nazis, and how they could be used in the future.
If it's good enough for #Tolkein and his dwarves, it's good enough for us!

Anglo-Saxon Runes Explained for KS2
Click here to read this article:
https://kidadl.com/articles/anglo-saxon-runes-ks2-explained
Runes are symbols just similar to the letters we use. Rune literally translates to 'secret' or 'mystery'.
They form the language often described as Old-English. The runes were used to write things like significant names, places, spells and religious rituals.
The runes within the Anglo-Saxon alphabet are made of combinations of straight lines so that they could easily be carved into wood or stone.
When many Anglo-Saxons became Christian, more people began writing and speaking using the alphabet we use today. This meant that as more people used the Roman letters, fewer people used the runic symbols until there wasn't a single rune used in Britain.

Anglo-Saxon Runes - The Dream of the Rood
The Ruthwell Cross is an Anglo-Saxon cross carved in the 7th century. It is marked with scenes from the Bible as well as pagan style engravings. In Germanic Runes a version of the poem ''the dream of the rood' is written. It is told from the perspective of a tree, made into the cross on which Christ was crucified. This poem parallels the story of a pagan Anglo Saxon God who was hung from a sacred tree in sacrifice. The writing is the oldest example of the English language. The cross is kept in a church in Ruthwell near Dumfries in Scotland.

Writing Old English with Futhorc Runes
EXTRA COMMENTARY
1) I forgot to mention that doubling runes to show gemination is optional, so a word like gebiddaþ could be written ᚷᛖᛒᛁᛞᚪᚦ or ᚷᛖᛒᛁᛞᛞᚪᚦ.
2) ᚾᚸ for [ŋg] seems to appear in London British Library Add. MS 47967.
3) 1:15 I should've mentioned that not using ᛡ behind ᛁ is just a personal preference of mine. Both ᚷᛁ and ᛡᛁ are attested.
4) 3:30 I shouldn't've used such confident wording here. I don't know enough about Old English dialects to say something like this with confidence.
5) 6:38 I should've mentioned that ᛁᛁᚩ (the double ᛁ here indicating length, an unusual thing) and ᛋᛏ are attested spellings of IO and ST. More reason to disregard ᛡ and ᛥ.
6) 8:03 Disregard this. The person who wrote "sigel" used Carolingian script, while the writer of "eo" used Insular, so they coul...

From Runes to Ruins // Anglo-Saxon History Documentary
'From Runes to Ruins' a documentary film by Thomas Rowsell, about Anglo-Saxon paganism.
Independently produced and funded, it is the first documentary to cover the topic of English paganism specifically.
All over Britain there are people whose lives are influenced by the largely forgotten culture of the Anglo-Saxon barbarians who founded England. There are landmarks, place names and aspects of our language which are remnants of Anglo-Saxon paganism. It is from Woden, the god of war, that we take the name for the third day of the week, Wednesday (Woden’s day). There are many places around England named after Woden, like the ancient earthwork of Wansdyke which was probably a cult-centre of the god. In this film, Tom Rowsell, an expert in the paganism of early medieval England, travels aroun...

Welcome to Wyrdwayz. Following on from my last runic series about the Elder Futhark and the runic wheel of the year, I bring you Wyrdwayz, where we delve into the world of the Anglo-Saxons and their runes.
In around 450 BC, after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, migrants from the continent began crossing the North Sea and settling in Britain. These warrior farmers brought with them a runic alphabet. When on British soil this alphabet grew and evolved to become the Futhorc.
In this series, I look at each of the runes contained in the Old English rune poems and explore the meanings and myths surrounding each one as well as a good dose of history. My aim is to bring alive the rich culture of our heathen Anglo-Saxon ancestors. I will also be reciting each of the rune poems in Old English, a beautiful, rich language like the culture.
So, take a step back in time with me to the days when the Old Gods were worshipped from the top of every hill and the people lived in harmony with the spirits of the land. Despite some people saying that the heathen religion did not survive the migration, I aim to show how the pagan faith lived on through the common people.

I am on a one-woman mission to show that the world of the Pagan Anglo-Saxons was every bit as rich, interesting, and spiritual as the world of the Norse Vikings which tends to get all of the focus these days. I would also like to say, that I am but a student of the Old English language and it is a lifetime's pursuit.

The Elder Futhark (or Fuþark), also known as the Older Futhark, Old Futhark, or Germanic Futhark, is the oldest form of the runic alphabets. It was a writing system used by Germanic peoples for Northwest Germanic dialects in the Migration Period. Inscriptions are found on artifacts including jewelry, amulets, plateware, tools, and weapons, as well as runestones in Scandinavia, from the 2nd to the 10th centuries. The Younger Futhark, also called Scandinavian runes, is a runic alphabet and a reduced form of the Elder Futhark, with only 16 characters, in use from about the 9th century, after a "transitional period" during the 7th and 8th centuries. The reduction, somewhat paradoxically, happened at the same time as phonetic changes that led to a greater number of different phonemes in the spoken language, when Proto-Norse evolved into Old Norse. Also, the writing custom avoided carving the same rune consecutively for the same sound, so the spoken distinction between long and short vowels was lost in writing. Thus, the language included distinct sounds and minimal pairs that were written the same. Anglo-Saxon runes (Old English: rūna ᚱᚢᚾᚪ) are runes used by the early Anglo-Saxons as an alphabet in their writing system. The characters are known collectively as the futhorc (ᚠᚢᚦᚩᚱᚳ fuþorc) from the Old English sound values of the first six runes. The futhorc was a development from the 24-character Elder Futhark. Since the futhorc runes are thought to have first been used in Frisia before the Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain, they have also been called Anglo-Frisian runes. They were likely to have been used from the 5th century onward, recording Old English and Old Frisian.

2) ᚾᚸ for [ŋg] seems to appear in London British Library Add. MS 47967.
3) 1:15 I should've mentioned that not using ᛡ behind ᛁ is just a personal preference of mine. Both ᚷᛁ and ᛡᛁ are attested.
4) 3:30 I shouldn't've used such confident wording here. I don't know enough about Old English dialects to say something like this with confidence.
5) 6:38 I should've mentioned that ᛁᛁᚩ (the double ᛁ here indicating length, an unusual thing) and ᛋᛏ are attested spellings of IO and ST. More reason to disregard ᛡ and ᛥ.
6) 8:03 Disregard this. The person who wrote "sigel" used Carolingian script, while the writer of "eo" used Insular, so they could've easily been different people.

'From Runes to Ruins' a documentary film by Thomas Rowsell, about Anglo-Saxon paganism.
Independently produced and funded, it is the first documentary to cover the topic of English paganism specifically.
All over Britain there are people whose lives are influenced by the largely forgotten culture of the Anglo-Saxon barbarians who founded England. There are landmarks, place names and aspects of our language which are remnants of Anglo-Saxon paganism. It is from Woden, the god of war, that we take the name for the third day of the week, Wednesday (Woden’s day). There are many places around England named after Woden, like the ancient earthwork of Wansdyke which was probably a cult-centre of the god. In this film, Tom Rowsell, an expert in the paganism of early medieval England, travels around the country looking at places like Wansdyke and talking to people whose lives are influenced by the Anglo-Saxons and their pagan religion. The film features all kinds of peculiar characters; like neo-pagans worshipping Thor in Oxfordshire, the leader of the London Longsword Academy and historical re-enactors who like nothing more than to get dressed up in armour and swing axes at each other.
From Runes to Ruins combines amusing and characterful interviews with informative history all presented with beautiful cinematography and an original and haunting synth soundtrack.
Despite the significance of Anglo-Saxon paganism to the history of Britain, no one has ever made a documentary exclusively on this subject. In this film, Thomas Rowsell reveals a forgotten aspect of English history that many are oblivious to, by uncovering paganism in runes and ruins

Os is a particularly challenging rune and many translators have shied away from it. In this brief video, however, you will see that it's meaning is really quite clear and interesting!
