![]() You will find these names used interchangeably, though the neo pagan authors seem to prefer the to use the term Anglo-Saxon Rune Poem (ASRP) and academics OERP. Just as the Norwegian Rune poem is also called the Old Norse Rune, the OERP and Anglo Saxon Rune Poem are one and the same. The sounds of Proto-Norse and the Elder Fuþark Stephen Pollington, Rudiments of Runelore Sweyn Plowright, The Rune Primer: A Down to Earth Guide to the Runes ![]() May I suggest a reading list for you or others interested in furthering their knowledge There is no Ehwaz rune in the Younger futhark but there is in the futhorc and the meaning horse is derived solely from the OERP. ![]() "Peorth is a source of recreation and amusement to the great, where warriors sit blithely together in the banqueting-hall" The runes perþ and algiz are not only found in the Elder futhark they are found in the futhorc, as you should know as you read the meaning of the peorth (from the futhorc) from the Old English Rune Poem: IRP =Disease fatal to children - and painful spot - and abode of mortification. NRP =Ulcer is fatal to children death makes a corpse pale. The torch is known to every living man by its pale, bright flame it always burns where princes sit within. The kaun rune of the younger futhark does not equate to fire that would be the cen rune of the Old English futhorc. (Gautr being a byname of Odin and lord of Valhalla could be none other than Odin) IRP Óss = God Aged Gautr and prince of Ásgardr and lord of Valhalla. The Óss rune in the NRP and the IRP have completely different meanings in the IRP the meaning is quite clearly Odin. IRP=Torture of women and cliff-dweller and husband of a giantess. NRP=Giant causes anguish to women misfortune makes few men cheerful. The two Younger futhark rune verses are as follows Where did you get the idea that the Thurs rune refers to Thor? The poems bare not relationship to Thor. Shower, Lamentation of the clouds and ruin of the hay-harves and abomination of the shepherd.ĭross comes from bad iron the reindeer often races over the frozen snow. The aurochs is proud and has great horns it is a very savage beast and fights with its horns a great ranger of the moors, it is a creature of mettle. The Úr rune of the Younger futhark does not equate to wealth, power or the auroch that would be the Ur rune of the Old English futhorc. The majority of the rune meanings you attribute to the Elder futhark and some of the meanings you have attributed to the Younger futhark derive from the Old English Rune Poem. Which version of the younger futhark are you discussing, there are three slightly different versions? However, there are only two with surviving poems (see above) and the meanings differ on some runes considerably. There is no poem for the Elder futhark we have no idea what the Elder futhark runes meant, their meanings have been extrapolated from later rune poems and their names have been reconstructed by historical linguists. There are four rune poems, all written after Christianisation, there are two for the Younger futhark: the Norwegian Rune Poem (sometimes called the Old Norse Rune Poem) and the Icelandic Rune Poem, one for the futhorc the Old English Rune Poem (which is the earliest) and the fourth is known as the Abecedarium Nordmannicum fragment. These runes are a linguistic script the Elder futhorc represents proto Norse, the Younger futhark Old Norse and the Anglo Saxon Futhorc Old English. There are three sets of runes, not two, commonly used by modern Heathens for a variety of purposes the Elder futhark, Younger futhark and the Old English futhorc. So here is a quick introduction to the runes and a few corrections for your video. There is confusion in the neopagan community regarding the Germanic runes because there is a great deal of misinformation online.
