Rune carver school |
False or genuine rune stone? Many thinks that you have to know how to spell in Old Norse to cut yourself a “real rune stone”. Nothing can be more wrong! Never let you be tempted to romanticize the Viking Age by writing in another language than the one you speak. The only thing you can succeed with then, is to be guilty to history faking, or create a useless stone for the future with no history. No rune carver in the history wrote in another language than the one they spoke. All rune carvers have written from their own time and you should do the same. The value of your rune stone is in the eyes of the observer and the observer looks for knowledge about the time the stone was cut. Your rune stone belongs to the future, not the history! |
