Review and meaning of the tattoo "Scandinavian runes"

Nowadays, images of runes are increasingly being applied to the body as tattoos. However, you need to be more careful with runes, because they do not always bring only good for a person. Below we will deal with the features of such tattoos and with the meaning of the main runes.

Runic signs appeared in Scandinavia among the Vikings, where people attached a certain meaning to each rune. Moreover, not all runes meant exclusively something good, some also had a negative message. In addition, Scandinavian runes were often associated with different deities. For example, the rune Turzias belonged to the son of Odin and the goddess of the earth, Nyord Tor, who controlled thunder and lightning, and also provided protection to people and other deities from monsters and giants. And the rune of Berkana among people was associated with the goddess Freya, who was responsible for fertility, and was also the goddess of love and war.

Of course over time, the runic alphabet changed somewhat and became richer in signs... However, at the present time, only ancient runes are used, the totality of which is referred to as the "Elder Futhark". This set includes twenty-four signs, which are divided into three groups and are called "ettir".

Before applying a particular runic sign or a whole combination of runes to the body as a tattoo you need to know exactly about their meaning, after all, these Scandinavian signs have tremendous power and are able to influence a person in one way or another.
