Consultancy Service

This service is designed to help individuals and tattoo artists by providing expert consultancy on runes and runic design.

Runes is a vast subject area requiring many years of study and practice to master. For example, the seemingly simple task of putting together a rune monogram or short rune script is fraught with difficulty. I am asked questions like the following a dozen times a week:

  • Which runes to use - Viking, Elder Futhark, Anglo-Saxon Futhorc, Armanen runes or what other types are there?

  • What does each rune mean and what is its magical significance?

  • Is there any danger to the artist or the client from incorrect use of runes?

  • How do I transcribe names, words and phrases into runes?

  • Which rune is equivalent to which letter of our modern alphabet?

  • Are there any right and wrong colors? 

  • Is it OK to turn a rune upside-down or present it as a mirror-image?

  • Do I write runes left-to-right, right-to-left, top-to-bottom or what?

On the members pages of this website you will find the answers to many of these questions, examples of runic designs of all types, information on bindrunes, runic triads, rune scripts, words of power, traditional designs and how to use them. 

But if you don't have the time or inclination to wade through all that to get the rune tattoo design right. Just sign up for a consultancy project and I will do all the research on your behalf. I will supply you with authentic and correct design artwork together with a report on its content and construction.

I offer consultancy services on these subjects:

  • Runes - esoteric aspects - divination and magical applications

  • Runes - technical aspects - archæology, history, historical linguistics

  • Runes - transcription to and from modern English

  • Runes - transcription and translation from Anglo-Saxon to modern English

  • Runic design - artwork, graphic images, tattoos, fonts

  • Runic relics and artefacts - research, identification and valuation

  • Anglo-Saxon archæology, history and culture
