Note that this technique is handy for recalling the runes, but it doesn’t always coincide with the way they’re meant to be pronounced as a single sound. There’s F - Fehu, U - Uruz, Th - Thurisaz, A - Ansuz, R - Raidho and K - Kaunaz. For example, ‘ Futhark’ makes up the first 6 runes (which is where it gets the name from). Take chances and you’ll see the change you’ve been hoping for. This is a big time for growth, as you have some safety going into this. You will be protected from some harm, and will likely have good luck on your pursuit. Using this aid makes it easier to recall the names of the Runes since every letter is the first letter of its corresponding Rune. This is the signal to take the risk and do what you’ve been thinking about. Here we condense the three Aetts into small ‘phrases’ Futhark-gw, H-niji pas, and Tbem-ling-do. A handy way to remember the names of the Runes and to which Aett they belong to is to use the following:į-u-th-a-r-k-g-w - h-n-i-j-ï-p-a-s - t-b-e-m-l-ing-d-o It represents physical and spiritual power. It also means that its worth taking risks when prepared. This can be compared to the modern meaning of protection that is given to this rune. The first is Freyr/Freyja’s Aett, the second is Heimdalls Aett and third is Tyr’s Aett. In Binding of Isaac this rune grants a shield that lasts for 30 seconds. The Elder Futhark is ‘traditionally’ put in 3 parts or ‘Aetts’. * Eihwaz is not sufficiently correct for the letter ‘ Y’ as it is more accepted as an ‘ae’ sound. This list is just what I have gathered so far from multiple sources and compiling it into something that I feel makes sense.įire, Torch - Beacon, Illumination, Understanding, Knowledge ᛈ - is one of these runes that are far from clear as to their meaning.

Note that many sources have differing interpretations of some of the more vague runes. Here’s the notes I’ve made on the Elder Futhark after studying and researching them online.
