“I loved the old runic systems for their wondrous fit to their languages: a near-perfect harmony of signs and sounds. Writing inscriptions in those languages meant inscribing the actual sounds of what you said—the true beauty of the runic writing tradition. But you couldn’t do that with modern English: as everyone knows, English spelling is horrible, and using existing futharks for it was scarcely better, inevitably treating the futharks like alphabets.

There had to be a better way! Finally, in early 2023, while naming the sounds of American English for poetic purposes, I had my epiphany—that I could draw on all my experience in runes, linguistics, languages, mythology, esotericism, poetry, and more to restore that perfect fit of signs and sounds in a new futhark expressly for American English. And what’s more, it would be an American futhark of American runes that could Do All The Things, not just writing, and be something of immensely profound beauty! With that, the American Futharch was born.”

In the time of the first runemasters of the Elder Futhark, roughly at or prior to the beginning of the Common Era, writing in runes meant the following three steps:

1. Select the word to write.
2. Identify the individual sounds that make up the word.
3. Carve in order the individual runes that correspond directly to those individual sounds.

The emphasis is on sound. There’s no letters involved. And now with the American Futharch, you can follow this three-step process exactly like an ancient runemaster—for the first time in centuries!

With the American Futharch, your runic writing will finally be in harmony with your ritual and magical speech. Communicate with the holy gods, the ancestors, your higher Self, and the objective universe more effectively when your voice and writing accord with such wondrous beauty and simplicity. You and they deserve this!

An American Runer is a New Breed of Runer:

• Proud of your Country.
• Proud of your American Language.
• Prouder now of both with your American Runes.

It’s your Language.
These are your Runes.

A proper futhark simply must have an authentic rune poem composed in a traditional meter in its proper language. Such poems reveal many mysteries and serve as the guiding stars of their futharks.

For the first time in centuries, there’s a new rune poem that meets those easy-to-say but hard-to-fulfill requirements. Meet the American English Rune Poem (AERP).
