This features an Elder Futhark rune - so far thought to be the oldest form of runes discovered. Runes were used by ancient Germanic speaking peoples and have become popularly known as "Viking" runes. While much of their actual history and translation is debated, the runes have one common myth in ancient Norse lore that has been patched together by using two different sagas (mainly). In summation, the god Odin is attributed with unlocking the knowledge of the runes. In a story called the Havamal, Odin is said to hang from a tree (possibly Yggdrasil, the Norse World tree) for 9 nights until he in a way earns the runes. Runes are said to posses magical properties. They imbue the one who wears them or the item them are on with what they represent. In the old days, they would be carved into weapons or jewelry.

-----THIS NECKLACE-----

Features the rune:
Tiwaz: i.e. "the Sky God". This rune embodies honor and rationality. It is for the just and noble. Tiwaz is for victory and upholding morality, a perfect talisman to keep yourself in check.

This piece was hand cast by myself using a sand casting method and is one of a kind (there's no mold to cast from again). The solid bronze rune has been finished with different patinas to give it a warmer darker coloring. This necklace is on an 18" darkened silver chain with an easy to use dark silver lobster clasp.

As always comes sweetly packaged in a jewelry box ready for gifting.
