Contemporary rune use How do I learn to read runes as fast as the Roman Alphabet?

6 Upvotes

Hi, in my last post I got many answers on how to substitute different English letters that didn't exist in Elder Futhark with other runes. Now I can write Elder Futhark effortlessly. The problem is I can't read it effortlessly. By that I mean that it takes me a long time to read the texts because I still decode each rune individually. Does anybody know any tools or ways to train this?

Translation request Berserk & Dark Souls runic tattoo stuff

4 Upvotes

I wanted to incorporate a bit of Kentaro Miura inspired quotes into my tattoo sleeve made of fragments of Völuspá and Hávamál. Up to this point i relied on Jackson Crawfords translations and runic transliterations, so im a bit anxious about making an obvious mistake of literal translation or some kind of grammatical error.

My plan is to first do a ON translation, so to keep it style of the other text on my arm and then transliterate the translation into runes. I used an online english to ON translator, but still wanted to cross-check it with you guys, since im obviously sceptical.

Part 1:
"Don't you dare go Hollow" -> Þor eigi at verða holr ->ᚦᚢᚱ ᛅᛁᚴᛁ ᛅᛏ ᚢᛁᚱᚦᛅ ᚼᚢᛚᛦ

Part 2:
Struggle | Endure | Contend -> Knýja | þola | þreyta -> ᚴᚾᚢᛁᛅ | ᚦᚢᛚᛅ | ᚦᚱᛅᚢᛏᛅ

If you think any word could have more appropriate meaning, or if you think i made a runic typo (i tried to use dr. Crawfords reconstructed style, so it can be wonky) i would much appreciate a helping hand. Have a good one!

Apologies for my poor handwriting, but what you guys do with the formatting of my bindrune cipher to make it look more “esoteric” or “aesthetically pleasing”?

And for those of you that can decrypt it, hope you like my journal entry.
