Emulate a god, and Win the runes!
American Rune Writing
A new online course featuring the American Futharch!
Turbo-charge your Rune-Writing through its many lessons and course materials. You’ll be writing like an ancient runemaster before you know it!
Would you like to write the runes just like your ancestors did?
It’s now possible once again, for the first time in many centuries. Enjoy the full & direct link between sounds and staves that they did!
Do you yearn for the power of sacred speech?
Think it’s only available in foreign languages like Sanskrit, Hebrew, or Old Norse? Think again!
Would you like the sheer joy of unlocking the hidden powers of your speech?
It’s easier than you think, and it comes simply by truly understanding its sounds. We work so hard to gain partial mastery and understanding over the sounds of a foreign language, yet we neglect the much shorter distance to cover for genuine understanding of the sounds of our native language!
Are you ready to answer the call of Odin?
In Hávamál 144, Odin challenges us to know how to read and write the runes—you can now answer this call in the same way that the first rune masters did!
Then this course is for you! Our high god, Odin, won the runes through nine nights on the world tree. Through the lessons of this course, you, too, can win the runes—and write them just like an ancient runemaster.
The Teachings You’ll Receive in American Rune Writing Include:
1
The knowledge, exercises, and feedback that will enable to you master the mysteries of your own speech sounds and bring them to full conscious awareness.

What is the structure of the course?
There are five main video lessons, but the real heart of the course is the copious download material. These include many pdfs and audio files demonstrating the runes and their uses. Most significant of these is “The Sounds and Basics of the American Futharch Runes,” which is a complete guide to the sounds of the 33 runes and their introductory lore.
Tell me something more about the course materials.
Many of the materials are exclusive to the course and available nowhere else, not even on my Patreon page. The course pdfs contain over 100 pages. The materials and learning here are essentially the rune-writing portion of the prior Sacred English course, with some more execises and improvements to the texts.
What assistance is there for students
The course materials include exercises in writing, reading, speaking, and listening with the American Futharch Runes, and an answer key for those exercises. There are also chanting exercises to help train your knowledge of the sounds. The course platform has a discussion board for each lesson where you can ask Eirik and your fellow students questions about the material.
What if I miss the enrollment window?
There’s no enrollment window! Unlike some of my previous courses, this one is always available for purchase and study at any time.
How long does the course run?
As long as it takes you. This is my first full stand-alone, take-at-your-own-pace course. You can enroll at any time and work through the materials as slowly or quickly as you like.
This is all going somewhere, isn’t it?
Yes. This course in American Rune Writing will be the foundation that future courses build upon. The poetry portion of the prior Sacred English course will become a take-anytime course like this one. And other courses on using the American Futharch Runes for divination and magic are also in the works. The revolution will be runicized, and it starts here!
