The Elder Futhark: The Oldest Runes
- Description
What is the Elder Futhark? Who used it? What happened to it?
The Elder Futhark is a unique alphabet developed and used by speakers of early Germanic languages in large areas of Europe. The Elder Futhark is the oldest of the runic writing systems and the source from which all other runic alphabets stem. While runes have become a fantasy fiction staple and a popular topic of interest, there is much misinformation and confusion around them. Ideal for artists, writers, contemporary Heathens, and beyond, this book serves as an accessible and scholarship-grounded starting point for approaching the Elder Futhark.
This expanded third edition is authored by philologist Joseph S. Hopkins, illustrated by Jacqui Alberts Lund, and introduced by noted runologist Bernard Mees. It features additional photographs and commentary.
