So what are you guys doing to learn how to read Futhark? I'm currently just learning the alphabet. Rewriting the runes, remembering the pronunciation, etc etc.

My approach was to spend 25 years reading various sources on runes and ancient Germanic history and language in general.

If you just want to start writing stuff with runes as quickly as possible go to Wikipedia.

>So what are you guys doing to learn how to read Futhark?

Eh, when I was 16 or so, my group picked up a book on neopaganism from some faggot once. It so happened to have an entire section on divination using the anglo saxon runes, as well as a transliteration guide.

We didn't care about the gay hippy magic shit, but we did use futhorc to pass secret communications without authorities being able to eavesdrop on us. So, I've been writing futhorc for years…

My biggest issues are speed reading and speed writing, so I've been trying to do as much general writing in futhorc as possible. Not just full length shit, but general "note to self" type things too, like pic related.

One of the harder things coming to the internet (vs. reading my own personal writing) is trying to figure out what other people are saying. Between 3 orthographies and an infinite number of methods for transcription, it's pretty hard to learn speed reading for such a non-standard situation.
