I couldn't visit Norway without taking a photo of runes. Here are runes on what looks like a length of non-human rib bone.
Volumes have been written about runes, and I cannot do justice to them here. What I can add that Wikipedia's introduction doesn't mention is that because of its shape, runic script lends itself perfectly to being incised onto hard, flat surfaces such as stone, metal or bone, as seen above.
As for what runes said, they were sometimes lists or inventories of property, sometimes they were religious in nature, and then there were runic inscriptions that were rude, very obscene and directed at someone else.
Perhaps the last category is an early example of the modern practice of unloading on an adversary in writing then putting the letter safely in your desk drawer instead of in the mail.
Recently, runes have been swept up into the whole New Age, dungeons-and-dragons, magic-and-fantasy gamer belief system. Some (many?) scholars scoff at the notion that the script itself possesses inherently magical properties and, as I sit here typing this, I find I need to add a quiet little scoff of my own.
========================================================
Runes are the letters in a set of related alphabets known as runic alphabets, which were used to write various Germanic languages before the adoption of the Latin alphabet and for specialised purposes thereafter. The Scandinavian variants are also known as futhark or fuþark (derived from their first six letters of the alphabet: F, U, Þ, A, R, and K); the Anglo-Saxon variant is futhorc or fuþorc (due to sound changes undergone in Old English by the names of those six letters).
Runology is the study of the runic alphabets, runic inscriptions, runestones, and their history. Runology forms a specialised branch of Germanic linguistics.
The earliest runic inscriptions date from around 150 AD. The characters were generally replaced by the Latin alphabet as the cultures that had used runes underwent Christianisation, by approximately 700 AD in central Europe and 1100 AD in northern Europe. However, the use of runes persisted for specialized purposes in northern Europe.

the feet of children... from the second the eyes open in the morning, till they fall heavily closed again at night, these feet carry my little boy around. to the table to eat breakfast, to run outside to get his bike, then they ride him around the house on his little tricycle to the bedroom to get dressed to the bathroom to brush his teeth to the car to drive to school, and then through the maze of kindergarten. home again at night, playing in the front yard with the boy who lives next door. back inside the house for dinner. to the bath tub, where i rub them with soap and rinse them with hot water and dry them with a towel. taking extra good care of these feet cause they carry my little boy through his days as a five year old and will carry him to adulthood and beyond.

I call this my rune journal because I pressed runes into the inside front cover. I did a transliteration of a portion of a Nordic poem called the Havamal that describes some of the adventures of Odin including how he came into possession of the runes. The back cover has the English translation of that portion of the poem pressed into the surface.
I have officially lost the f-ing plot.

The title of this set is the same as the title of one of my abstract paintings I produced about 27 years ago when I was somewhat landlocked in West Texas and the Beach was not a significant or regular part of my life. But the title was both insightful and prophetic, and now I'm happy to share with you some of my photographs of the days in my life...at the Beach.
