If you know anything about Norse Runes, please tell me.

I recently purchased a pouch of Norse runes, but I know next to nothing about them.

Neat! I'm not at all Italian, but I'll accept this result.

MY MOST ITALIAN OF UQUIZZES BE UPON YE

Hi there stranger. Your set of Elder Futhark runes is, to my knowledge, not the actual alphabete Vikings used for everyday writin, the Elder Futhark had more significance in a pagan/religious sense. Each rune's name starts with the sound the rune (as a letter) makes, and each rune has a meaning. The name "Futhark" itself consists of the sounds the first six runes would make: Fehu, Uruz, Thurisaz, Ansuz, Raidho, Kenaz.

Nowadays Elder Futhark are used by some people who want to revive Norse pagan beliefs, practise modern witchcraft or for divination purposes, which is where each rune's specific meaning comes in. The Elder Futhark consists of 24 runes, if your set has a 25th blank shard, that blank shard symbolises the mystery, the unknown, specifically when runes are used for divination purposes. If you do use runes for divination purposes, that is usually done by drawing a random handful of runes from the bag and casting them, then interpreting their meaning. I am not experienced in that. I just know that if a rune happens to land upside down, it reverses the rune's meaning.

Information on what each rune is called (=linking the correct name to the correct rune) as well as detailed info on the runes' meaning, you'd have to google, that needs pictures of each rune to properly explain.

Thank you fellow stranger!

Interesting!

The people I bought it from were using it for divination purposes.

It does have a blank rune! I was unsure as to whether it was intentional or not, so that clears it up. Thank you!

I shall do that posthaste. Thank you very much!

What do other people call these?

Researchers have used Easter Island Moai replicas to show how they might have been “walked” to where they are displayed.

So there's a thing where a bunch of countries have national variants of the rainbow pride flag, right?

Like, they'll combine their nation's flag (or some national symbol) with the rainbow stripes. The Brazilian one haunts me to this day but that's a long story. They're usually done in a quite lazy manner, cause it's not really something you can do super well and not many people try.

But I have just found one that is lazier than the rest! Are you ready to see it?

WITNESS THE LGBT PRIDE FLAG OF THE NETHERLANDS!

As an Australian, this is a word that I also use, and I, too, am shocked to learn that it is not universal.

JUST LEARNED THAT SQUIZ. IS KIWI SLANG AND NOT A WORD IN THE AVERAGE PERSONS LEXICON

Alright! After some research, I believe I have a (complete?) set of Elder Futhark runes shards. Now I just need to figure out what exactly they mean.
