Links to useful rune-related websites
 

Runemaker Group websites
www.runemaker.com
Bob's main runes website. It's the biggest runes website in the world and the second-most visited runes site on the www.

www.runes.info
Free articles to download on a wide range of rune-related subjects with contributions by Bob, Freya Aswynn and all-comers.
Freya Aswynn  is taking over management of this site, so you can expect some additions to the current articles soon.
 

www.rune-tattoos.com
Runic design resources for individuals and tattoo artists.
 

www.rune-fonts.co.uk
a selection of free rune fonts available for download, and full description with images of Bob's own range of rune fonts available for purchase at modest prices.
 

www.bindrune.com (currently offline)
This site was all about bindrunes for personal monograms and for practical purposes. The information is now available at www.runemaker.com. The 4000 bindrune image database and a selection of 50 practical bindrune amulets for a wide range of uses can now be viewed by paid-up members of www.rune-tattoos.com (q.v.).
 

www.celtic-runes.org.uk
This single page website explains why there are no such things as "Celtic Runes". I get a lot of flak feedback from this site, but only a very meagre quota of thank-you messages.
 

www.runeworks.co.uk (currently offline)
This domain name has now been transferred to my friend Freya Aswynn. I'm not sure how she intends to use it yet, but watch this space for something new 'ere long. If I know Freya, it will be something innovative.

 

Other Recommended Websites
Freya Aswynn
Learn direct from this highly creative author and world-famous rune-mistress. A wealth of free information from my friend and colleague, plus details of her books, videos, CDs, paintings and correspondence courses.
 

Runes, Alphabet of Mystery
This is the most-visited runes website on the www. It has been a labour-of-love for business consultant Ingrid Halvorsen (known in the internet runes fraternity as "Sunnyway") for more years than I can remember.
The site is in my opinion the least-biased and most comprehensive collection of basic runic knowledge available.


The Rune School (currently unavailable - looks like maybe hosting fees unpaid?)
This site was around for a long time, too. It provided online courses in the mystic application of runes and was the starting point for thousands of runesters over the years.

The Rune Net
Rune study network guild - International network for students of the runes. Run by Sweyn Plowright, author of The Rune Primer, this site is a good place to start if you wish to avoid misinformation about runes.


The Rune Gild
School of esoteric knowledge based on the Odian system of the Runes. World-wide organization with Halls in North America, England and Australia.
 

and finally,
Wikipedia on Runes
Wikipedia is often accused of inaccuracy, but I couldn't find much wrong with their series of articles on archaeological runology headed up by this page.
 


These links are my personal recommendations, and as such I don't take submissions for inclusion on this page. If that is your objective you might like to take a look at www.runemaker.com/linkspage.shtml.
