Title: The Link List
Post by: Grymdycche on February 16, 2011, 10:44:47 AM
This list will no doubt grow over time.

Note, some links may appear in more than one section due to spanning the categories. I did this to make it easier to find all sites related to whatever you're looking for.

http://www.mackaos.com.au/Rune-Net/ -  Rune-Net. Home of Sweyn Plowright, author of the Rune Primer, the introductory book to runes I recommend over all others.  A no-nonsense site dedicated to avoiding historical inaccuracies and preserving traditional truth for each student of the runes.
http://www.runewebvitki.com  -  A premier site for the study of cultural and historic runelore. Bookmark it!
http://www.runemaker.com/  -  Oswald the Runemaker's site. Very informative, and he'll make you gorgeous runes too.
http://www.sunnyway.com/runes -  A veritable cornucopia of Rune information, one of my favorites.
http://www.tarahill.com/runes  -  Another great site for all things rune - use, history, magic.. nicely laid out
http://www.northvegr.org/  - A site on Northern traditions, history, and lore. Good source for the Eddas, Lays, and Sagas.
http://runesecrets.com/  - An in-depth site which looks at each rune individually
http://heathenblog.wordpress.com/runes/  -  The heathenblog has an interesting section providing the author's in-depth take of each of the Elder Futhark. Good food for thought. Many of the interpretations are very unconventional, however, so bear that in mind.
http://www.aswynn.co.uk/  - Freya Aswyn's blog (a popular rune author)
http://www.odins-gift.com/  Asatru site with gobs of rune info
http://www.arild-hauge.com/eanglor.htm  (Note- not in English; I'm not sure if it's Norwegian, Icelandic,  or Dutch, but the images are useful if you're English speaking only)
http://runegild.org/  - The site of Edred Thorsson, a popular rune author who has penned Futhark: A Handbook of Rune Magic, Runelore: A Handbook of Esoteric Runology, and Runecaster’s Handbook:  At the Well of Wyrd . His real name is Steven Flowers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Flowers), a well acknowledged scholar of Germanic language and history; however his rune practices are esoteric and marked by new-age or eastern influences.
