Inlaid Glass Rune Pendant / Freyr's Aett

Runes are an ancient Germanic script from Northern Europe, meaning "secret." Their origins are deeply intertwined with Norse mythology. Legend has it that the runes were divine wisdom obtained by the Norse god Odin, who hung himself upside down from the World Tree for nine days and nine nights. In ancient times, runes were used for recording, communication, divination, and prayer, and were often inscribed on everyday objects or personal adornments. The Elder Futhark, the oldest and most commonly used runic alphabet for divination and rituals, consists of three groups (aettir) totaling 24 characters. Each character holds profound and distinct meanings, associated with guardian deities and corresponding birth dates. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53198774873_a86702d06b_b.jpg This collection of pendants primarily features Freyr's aett, known for its positive and auspicious connotations. Employing the art of inlaid glass, the characters are formed with blackish-brown solder. The interplay of blue-green and transparent glass lends a vintage aesthetic to the pendants.
