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.

when I drew this comic 3 years ago I had NO idea how far it would reach. I'm happy to finally share a corrected version with proper abbreviations, and even MORE state names of indigenous origin ♥️

however, the goal of this comic was to inspire people to do your OWN research on indigenous history. To question everything we have been taught, and everything that has been pointedly left out. This erasure, this “forgetting”, of history is not just of the past… it is happening now. - Across so-called Canada, the US, and US-occupied islands, native women are victims of murder at 10-12x the rate of non-native people, and are the most likely to go missing without being searched for by the law. - Native reservations have the highest rates of poverty in the US, with over HALF of tribal homes with no access to clean water (with more joining this list by the year) - Native people are 6-10x more likely to be unhoused than the rest of the population, and native teens suffer suicide rates higher than any other demographic. This list of modern day genocide goes on (thank you for compiling @theindigenousanarchist <3) and yet take a look at those environmental stats!

Native people manage to do SO much for the planet as a whole - thanklessly - and with all this stacked against them. Don't even get me started on kin fighting in south america. Could you imagine if there was help? #landback is resistance to genocide, and it is the key to saving our warming earth.

So look into it and the other hashtags, cuz a cartoon goose ain't a substitute for a proper education. Love to my grandparents who always kept a map of tribal territories of turtle island on their wall, to speaking on our Tsalagi & Saponi heritage. Love & solidarity forever, happy research, and happy #indigenouspeoplesday

(Also, if you care to support the artist, I'm publishing a book ! and writing another - a fantastical afroindigenous graphic novel - that I post exclusively about with tons of other art on my patreon.)

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!

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.

I'm done!!!

Every post (excepting a few that I deliberately left untagged, and probably some I missed) is tagged!

Now that I'm finished with this, I'm going to taking a break from tumblr, so I probably won't be active for a while. Everything's fine, I've just got other stuff going on that I need to focus on.

While I'm gone, though, I will be leaving a list of all my tags! People may try and figure out what they mean, and when I return, I will post a list of all the meanings behind them.

I'm back! I have updated the taglist to include the meanings.

Hey, what do your tags mean?

I'm setting up a reference/filing system for all the posts on my blog - I'm just sorting through the posts in my queue at the moment - and so I'm tagging them all with a code which represents a category: music, technology, blood, etc. Each of these codes can also be crossed with a different code - for example, if a post contains both music and blood - to narrow it down. Once I'm all finished, I'll post a list of all the codes.

UPDATE: I have (hopefully) finished tagging all of the posts from my first month on tumblr! Now I've only got ~two months to go.

UPDATE²: Going through my more recent archive, and it turns out I apparently used to leave funny tags? For about a month or so. I don't remember any of it.

UPDATE³: Less than a month to go!!!

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.

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.
