The picture at the right is a pic of the elder futhark alphabet- in other words, runes. This is where translation gets pretty dicey, so I picked translation and interpretations that made sense to me and came up most often in my research... Unfortunately, there is way to much research to be done tonight, so for translations and meanings, you must wait until I feel bored enough to do research over the summer :P
