I have just recently started being interested in runes and I read somewhere about birth runes. Does anyone know about these and can maybe help me to work out my Norse rune. Sorry if this seems a strange question. I am keen to learn more so if anyone can give me advice that would be great.
It’s not a strange question at all! Birth runes are a modern way of looking at the ancient Norse runic alphabet. While it isn’t historically or culturally accurate, that doesn’t mean we can’t find meaning in the way the modern world has worked with these runes, too. I can’t find a source on birth runes, but @Susurrus actually has a post about runes and finding your birth rune.
→ Birthdate Rune & Birth Hour Rune - What's Your's?
According to that chart, my birth runes would be Hagalaz and Raidho.

My birthday is 14th July 1985
Do you have your birth certificate? It is on there. Hope you find it soon
I do somewhere will need to dig it out.
@kirsty4 I used my Valhalla app and I got
Interesting, Freya’s there.
Information about July 14 1985:
Age: 39 winters old
Month: Sólmánuðr
God: SĂłl, & Freyr.
Rune: Tīwaz ᛏ
Tīwaz ᛏ was generated since Sólmánuðr is a time of peak summer activity, associated with the power of the sun and the height of agricultural productivity.
The app also states the following
Maybe that’s why we get different runes at different searches
Oh wow this is very interesting, seems Freya has been with me all along and only now just realising. Defo a happy coincidence. Do you need to pay a subscription to use the app
If I remember it’s a one off fee and it’s not alot, here’s the link to Google play, I don’t think it’s on apple yet.
Ah ok will have a peek, I do have Apple tho. But I am so glad you checked for me that’s put a smile on my face that’s for sure.
If you want any info from the app, just ask here and I’ll go and check for you.

Aww amazing Tracy thank you
Thank you i just purchased it!
According to the charts already given, it does look like you’d be considered on the cusp of both Fehu and Uruz. It’s also interesting that @tracyS got a completely different response
Well that’s Loki for you
I hope you like it. It has the Eddas on there too.
