Runes That Speak Your Language!

The Elder Futhark gave its first runemasters power through the link it had with the native, living language they spoke. The American Futharch restores that living language link. Now you, too, can gain the same power with your American English, by learning to write just like an ancient runemaster! With American Rune Writing, you'll learn:

  • Runes in a Living Language, Not a Dead One
  • The Secrets to Writing Exactly Like an Ancient Runemaster
  • The Primordial Tradition, Restored
  • How to Master of the Mysteries of Your Own Speech
  • Declaring Your Runic Independence from the Profane Alphabet
  • The Right Way to Fulfill Odin’s Challenge in the Opening of Hávamál 144
  • How the Runes Exist in the Totality of Your Speech
  • Emulate Odin

    Our high god, Odin, won the runes and poetry through nine nights on the world tree. Through the lessons of this course, you, too, can win the runes for writing and make your language magical!

Important Details about the Course

  • This course uses the revolutionary new American Futharch for its runic system. If you’ve arrived here without encountering the American Futharch before, please look over Eirik’s American Futharch website (link at bottom of page) before enrolling.

  • This isn’t merely a course for learning cool things—it’s a course for doing cool things, namely writing runes in the original and authentic manner.

  • You can enroll at anytime and take the course at your own pace. It's always available and open, and not a "cohort course" like some of my other offerings.

  • Plenty of exercises to practice with and test your learning. An answer key is included in the course.

  • Includes online discussion board for each lesson where you can interact with the instructor and other students.
