Weekly Witchy CHALLENGE - All About Runes - Entry
This weeks challenge is on a topic very new to me. Although, I have seen many article on the Runes, it just seemed pretty complicated to start learning about them while I am learning 1,500 other topics, just kidding. The first thing I did was Scroll through Spells 8 and TheTravelWitch_Bry found this online, Runic Translator 11 that translates English words into Runes that can be copy/pasted fast and for free!
This is how my name looks translated:

I could not wait to use the Runic Translator 11, as I was very curious of what the meaning was and how my name looked. The Runes really resonated with me. I am going to make/buy my own set and try a few Spells or Meditations with them.
This is what the meaning of my Birthday and Time of Birth means:
My Birthday is October 22, 2022. I was born at 2:12 am. This is the meaning in Runes.
WUNJO - 13th October – 28th October
PERTHRO - Rune 14
Perthro symbolizes what is hidden. Secrets, revelations and mysteries will be the subject of this period. You might see some surprises.
Here is a Witch Tip I found interesting:
“If you purchase a set of runestones or staves, there will sometimes be a blank stone/stave. This is called “wyrd” and in it’s simplest explanation means “fate”. It’s up to you to interpret this blank stone or to leave it up to the gods” (otherworldyoracle.com)
There seems to be many meanings, many different theories, and different interpretations of Runes. This what Elder Futhark’s believes what the meaning of Runes is: (otherworldyoracle.com)
Elder Futhark Runes Meanings
The Elder Futhark rune system is the “original” system, so to speak, and consists of 24 symbols total. Depending on the rune set you purchase, you may see variations in certain runic symbols. For instance, Ing may sometimes be Ingwaz and instead of being a simple diamond shape, may include “arms” reaching above and “legs” below it. Also remember, each rune has a “mundane” meaning that may also apply to its divinatory significance, but inevitably YOU determine the true message behind each. You’ll also find the longer you read the runes, the more complex they become. And the more personality they reveal to you. The wisdom of the runes is a deep, endless well.(otherworldyoracle.com)
After reading the Elder Futhark’s meaning behind the Runes’s, it hit home with me. I am convinced that my journey with also include Runes used with my Magick, Spell making, meditations and much more. I am looking forward to learning more through my constant research, feedback and Spells 8. Below explains how to allow magick to be activated. I cannot wait to try this!
Each element is linked together and the inscribed image and the vibration of the sound, the Rune itself – is the law that allows magic to be activated. (theembroideredforest.com)
The form: which is the sign itself.
The sound: which is the phonetic value of the rune.
The archetype: or hidden meaning of the rune.
Simple, Daily Rune Magick
Runes are multi-dimensional and dynamic in so many ways. When you really get to know the runes on a deep, spiritual level, they sort of make their way into your daily life without you even realizing it! BUT if you’re not to that level yet or you need some fresh ideas, here’s a few ways to incorporate rune magick into your daily life: (otherworldyoracle.com)
⦁ Draw runes (like Wunjo, Kenaz, Uruz, Eiwaz, Algiz, etc.) in the air over your food while cooking or over your coffee/tea/water throughout the day; choose a rune depending on your intention
⦁ Draw runes with sauces over your foods, too
⦁ Draw runes over the body to aid in healing; for instance – draw Laguz for blockages or Berkano for overall healing. This works for stomachaches, headaches, etc. It may not completely relieve the problem, but it will help reduce.
Sign your name and end it with your favorite rune.
⦁ When you do your home cleansings/blessings: dip your finger into oil and draw protective runes over your doors, windows, fireplace, etc.
To Conclude the Weekly Witchy Challenge - All About Runes.
"Runic magic is not a destination; it is a path. And you can walk it as you prefer, being completely inside of it or just hold its hand sometimes. In any case, it will make your life richer, it will amplify your interests and circle of friends" (theembroideredforest.com)
That sums it up!

I would like to make them from similar-sized shells as I am going to be creating my own Ogham out of wood with a wood-burning tool. I chose the 13 Witch’s Raven

but here it is! Most of the letters seem to be a combination of the Latin letters h, m, and n. It would take me a while to not get a few of them mixed up because of how similar they are.
