A thread of shitty Norse amazon rings bc I want one but they use the fucking runes incorrectly
(For reference, I’m basing my knowledge on runes mostly on these two sites: https://norse-mythology.org/runes/the-meanings-of-the-runes/
http://www.sunnyway.com/runes/meanings.html#tiwazm) also yes I’m aware they both have sorta stupid names

0/10, calls itself the valily and it doesnt even include the actual valily in its design, stupid fucks, plus the meanings list alternates between translations of rune names and rune connotations, pick a fucking side idiot

Complex and hypocritical meanings. Also has a cool bracelet to go with it, nice job.

Another from valily, though I’m more conflicted about the brand. It seems they pick singular meanings from the mass of connotations these runes have, which I can’t exactly fault them for. However, I will apply my understanding of runes. (1/2)

1. They list halgaz as meaning change. It means destruction and chaos. Where tf did they get the idea it means “change”.
2. I cannot find evidence that the rune they claim to mean beginning actually exists.

3. Laguz means both water, and formless chaos, which can have both good +
+And bad meanings, but paired with halgaz, is usually negative.
4. No one really knows what Perthro means. I haven’t heard any theories that suggest it means destiny. I’d reccomend not using it.
Conclusion:1/10, you tried.

Might’ve got this for myself, if I wasn’t terrified of hagalaz.

A clarification: the purpose for which I’m buying these is more runic spell related than incryption. Though, incryption is a bit controversial (I don’t know much about it though, I know more about connotations/meanings than associated letters or the validity of the letter system)

9/10, since this is clearly a reference to mythology, less is deducted for questionable runes, though I’m still deducting one bc of what I want specifically (don’t let this stop you from buying it though, if u have other reasons)+
