Avalon Hazel Northumbrian Runes
The Anglo-Saxon Runes originated as an alphabet of 26 runes in Frisia, with an additional 3 runes being added when the Anglo-Saxons migrated to Britain in the 7th Century. The Northumbrian runes is a further expansion of this futhark by 4 more letters, to an alphabet of 33. There is little archaeological evidence remaining to provide meanings for these extra 4 letters – they are not included in the Anglo-Saxon rune poem and it’s possible that they are a relatively more modern invention.
A gorgeous set of handmade hazel runes, made from a branch of hazel that grows close to the Isle of Avalon near to Glastonbury.
These Northumbrian runes are about 2 cm in diameter and are entirely handmade (please check photos for scale - penny not included).
There are 33 runes and one blank rune should an accident befall one or if you follow the more modern tradition of working with a blank rune for wyrd.
Hazel is a wood often associated with divination, and especially dowsing. Within the Celtic Tree Ogham system and in wider Celtic mythology it’s associated with wisdom.
You will receive a set similar, but perhaps not identical to that pictured. Your set of runes will arrive in a bag made from upcycled fabric and with a basic information sheet.
