GA expressed as a crossrune (aka ‘gibu auja’), stacked TiwaR, and ALU (which is often written as a ligature by heathens blessing their mead in ritual now, but IIRC isn’t attested as a bindrune) are the only elder futhark bindrunes in inscriptions Mindy MacLeod & Bernard Mees discuss in their book (Runic Amulets and Magic Objects) on ‘magical’ runes, that is, runes on archaeological finds that appear to have been inscribed with magical intent by their users. The consensus of runologists seems to be that all other (simple) rune ligatures found to date, including the handful found in Anglo-Saxon Futhorc, were written purely to save space or correct a missed rune - kinda the equivalent of the John Mulaney bit where he’s making a sign that says “Happy Birthday” and hasn’t left enough room so he scrunches the y under the second p of “happy”.

Do you know of any resources that list historical instances of bind runes? As in, like the triple (or sometimes more) stacked (tiwaz? tyr?) rune that looks like a tree, among others? When I try to search this online, I come up with almost exclusively modern creations, but I’m wondering how often this happened in the general past and what it looked like? Maybe bind rune isn’t even the correct historical term—I don’t know. Any insight you could provide would be great, thank you!

I expect that Bind-runes: An Investigation of Ligatures in Runic Epigraphy by Mindy Macleod would probably be exactly what you're looking for, but I haven't read it myself, so I can't guarantee.

The second-best idea that occurs to me is to just go through Texts and Contexts of the Oldest Rune Inscriptions by Tineke Looijenga with a ctrl+f find "bindrune." This only covers Elder Futhark.

The vast majority of bindrunes prior to the early modern period that we have a record for are simple ligatures of two, sometimes three runes, like ᛮ a͡l, and in most works about runes those aren't really treated differently from the much rarer, more complicated ones, which makes it harder to use search tools to find them. Complex bindrunes that are more than just simple ligatures are exceptionally rare in the Elder Futhark.

These are a type that Looijenga calls "cross-runes," which might be the only repeated "type" of bindrune in the Elder Futhark other than simple ligatures:

Really complex ones are far more prevalent in Icelandic manuscripts from the early modern era. In Runologia, his short book/long essay about runes, Grunnavíkur-Jón (1705-1779) has a few sections on composing bindrunes. Runologia is a weird combination of an academic work in the tradition of Ole Worm, Icelandic vernacular practice, and vernacular reappropriation of academic work; all of this makes it very interesting but difficult to use for tracing the historical precedent of anything in it. It's hard to say whether he was recording a widespread practice or systematizing something he had a vague idea of.

I have a post with a couple of examples here: https://thorraborinn.tumblr.com/post/682508486233440256/how-do-you-make-bind-runes-without-using-elder

I participated in a race that was way out of my league - because it actually WAS a running league. I had to run 5 km up steep hills and mud. I had a breakdown at the 4th km but at least it was a breakdown with a beautiful view :D

I finished last in my category which was such a slap in the face for my confidence as a runner but hey - at least I did not give up even though I felt like it a lot :)
