This is a work in progress and not all runes are currently populated with interpretations. If clicking on the name of the rune leads to an image of the rune instead of a page of interpretation specific to that rune, it means a page has yet to be developed.
These interpretations of the runes are both based on personal reflection and from a number of different sources, prone to modification as time goes on and my understanding of the runes grows. I do not pretend to be an authority on the meanings of the Elder Futhark runestaves — just an amateur enthusiast. For more reliable interpretations uncolored by my own understandings, please refer to one of the sources identified at the bottom of this page.
