The Viking Rune blog is a widely read blog with over 70,000 monthly page views. We provide information and insight for people interested in Viking Age Scandinavia. If you are fascinated with Vikings, this is where you will find lots of articles on everyday life of the Norse warriors, their technology, warfare, religion and writing system.

Some of the topics our visitors have found worth noting:

Free Rune Converter Helps You to Write in Viking Runes

Our Rune Converter is based on a complex algorithm that substitutes runes for the letters of the modern English alphabet. Up to now it remains the only such online tool supporting five systems of Germanic runic writing: Elder Futhark, Anglo-Saxon Futhorc (also spelled Futhork), Long Branch Younger Futhark, Short Twig Younger Futhark and staveless runes. This tool, into which we invested a lot of time, effort and money is made available free for all our visitors. Writing in Viking runes has never been that easy!

Create a Viking Motto in Old Norse

Many people would love to have a life motto in Old Norse, language of the Vikings. Over the last few years we received dozens of requests to translate such or such catchy phrase into Old Norse in order to use it as a slogan or motto. Even though we have been unable to help everyone, we designed an even more complex algo that allows to create Viking mottos or slogans online through a user friendly interface according to five grammatical patterns. The number of possible combinations is huge, so it is up to your creativity which elements to choose.
