Key facts

Binding
Paperback

The Book of Small Runes is 300 original bindrune designs by Isar Oakmund, now available as a physical A4 book. Not a reference book about bindrunes. Not a history. A working collection of Norse art, designed and built from the ground up by one of the most prolific voices in contemporary runic art, printed and bound for the shelf.

Three hundred designs is not a small number. It is a library. Every single one comes with a written description covering the meaning behind the design and the individual runes used in its construction. That level of annotation across 300 pieces makes this as much a study in how bindrunes are built as it is a collection to draw from.

For the tattoo artist looking for reference that goes deeper than the surface. For the practitioner who wants a broad and varied set of working symbols to explore. For the student of Norse symbolism who wants to understand not just what bindrunes look like but how they think. For anyone who wants 300 pieces of Isar Oakmund's runic art in one place, annotated, printed, and ready to use.

A4 format. Physical book.

About the author

Isar Oakmund

Isar Oakmund is a Danish tattooist based in Whitley Bay, England, who has spent years specialising in Nordic and historical art. Every design in his books starts as a sketch in his own hand, and every rune, motif and symbol is researched before it is drawn, so what you get is grounded in real Norse and Viking Age history.
