Welcome to our blog! Today we are showing the result of our new YouTube video, a collaboration with Tank Tolman (Link To His TikTok).
Isar and Tank have come together to make three bindrunes that are meant to help anyone who needs a bit of a positive boost.
We already have a blog post all about runes so we will not go too deep into it here, you’ll have to check that one out after reading this one. But, what were runes in the first place?
The language of runes, specifically Elder Futhark, is defined as an old Germanic runic alphabet. The first six runes spell out the word “Futhark” and that on its own has given the alphabet its name. The runes after their creation had two functions, one was wreathed in mystery as they tied into the magical powers of the Gods, and the other is more mundane, the very task of writing and spelling communication. This as well carried a huge significance to the ancient Scandinavian people. There are theories amongst scholars that the runes were created as magical symbols before they were implemented as a vessel of communication, which is cool to think about but for now it shall remain a theory.
This runic language, as we now know it, is now used to make Bindrunes, for various purposes. By combining two or more runes you have two meanings and concepts to carry with you and help you on your journey. These Bindrunes can be carved into weapons for seeking the guidance of the gods, the very foundation of a house while building for protection and safety, putting a drawing of it in your bag in hopes of manifesting true love on your journey wherever you are going,....
And today we are sharing the three bindrunes made for better mental health made to motivate and inspire people to keep going forward and bettering themselves.
The Runes that were used in these designs are:
Nauthiz “N” meaning Need. A symbol of necessity and innovation, survival and endurance. A rune meaning restraint, life lessons and consequence are imminent.
Gebo “G” meaning Gift. A rune for gifting, dedication and relationships. This rune symbolizes sacrifice, honour, respect and appreciation for both mortal and divine.
