Some runic tablets, including a blank one (648x864 px each).
It's elder futhark; three aetts consisting of eight runes each.
Please note that the names are just reconstructions, how the rune names probably sounded like (we don't know for sure), so you might stumble upon slightly different transcriptions elsewhere.
Also each rune has its own meaning, but aside its core meaning you could interpret it in many different ways. But that's good, right? :)
The following list might help you figure out what to do with the rune tablets. E.g. I used the "movement rune" for a speed boost consumable item etc.
Frey's aett:
- Fehu - cattle (= wealth, money, achievement...)
- Uruz - auroch (= strength, endurance, health...)
- Thurisaz - thorn/giant (= rough weather, conflict...)
- Ansuz - god/mouth
- Raido - wheel/riding (= movement)
- Kaunan - torch (= light)
- Gebo - gift (= gift, bond between people...)
- Wunjo - joy (= happiness, luck...)
Hagalaz aett:
- Hagalaz - hailstorm (= misfortune, disaster...)
- Nauthiz - need (= deprivation, shortage...)
- Isa - ice (= wait)
- Jera - year/harvest (= change, anticipation...)
- Eihwaz - yew tree (= something ends, something begins)
- Pertho - unknown, possibly dices, pear tree, fertility, path
- Algiz - protection/elk
- Sowulo - sun (= glory, victory, luck)
Týr's aett:
- Teiwaz - name variant of the god Týr
- Berkana - birch tree (new beginning, offspring)
- Ehwaz - horse (= movement, path to success)
- Mannaz - human (= your potential, humanity)
- Laguz - water (= flow, change)
- Inguz - fertility (also home, completion)
- Othila - home, heritage (= culture, family, friendship, ancestors)
- Dagaz - day (= stability, safety)
I hope that will provide some inspiration.
