Match each carved stave of the Elder Futhark to its name and meaning. Turn the runestones, learn the old alphabet, and read the lore as the pairs are bound.
Flip two stones. Pair a rune with its name to reveal its meaning and lore here.
The Elder Futhark is the oldest runic alphabet, used across Northern Europe from roughly the 2nd to 8th centuries. Its 24 runes are grouped into three ættir (families) of eight. Each rune carries a sound, a name, and a web of meaning drawn from the old rune poems. Hover a stave for a quick reading.
