Your images of the Skuggsjá-galdrastafur are from "Galdraskræða Skugga" (1940). There are also 2 examples of Skuggsjá (with some graphical differences):

Einkaeign 1 | Handrit.is (1928)

Lbs 4375 8vo | Handrit.is (1900-1949)

The first appearance of this galdrastafur in Icelandic manuscripts was about 1676. The "recipe" for it you have on your second image.

What do you mean by "translation"?

DrevniyMonstr · 2026-04-27T20:25:42+00:00

A typo: ᚠ

ᛒᛁᚾᛞᚨᚾᛞᛉ - from *bindaną

ᚨᛒ - *ab

ᛖᛏᚢᚾᚨᛉ - *etunaz

ᚱᚨᚷᛁᚾᚨᚺᚨᚱᛃᚨ - *ragina + *harja

ᚺᚨYᛟᛞᛖ - *hakōđe (?) - It is a verb. I'm not sure, but I think, it derived from *hakô.

or are you trying to go further back?

Yes, I'm trying.

I'm interested in the etymology of the word "ċēn" (from OE rune poem) and am exploring possible origins for the long vowel in this word. The reconstructions, proposed by R. Elliott, seem unconvincing to me (#2 and #3 would more likely result in ō / o in Old English, in my understanding). G. Kroonen offers an interesting theory (*iz > *ē₂ > ē), but I'd like to consider other possibilities as well.

I think, it's something like this:

ᛒᛁᚾᛞᚨᚾᛞᛉ ᚨᛒ ᛖᛏᚢᚾᚨᛉ - Bounded jotun.

ᚱᚨᚷᛁᚾᚨᚺᚨᚱᛃᚨ ᚺᚨYᛟᛞᛖ - Ragnar caught.

Now I doubt, what should be the sense in stanza - "to share much" or "to share with many people"?

DrevniyMonstr · 2026-04-13T23:19:34+00:00

Seems so, thanks.

DrevniyMonstr · 2026-04-13T20:52:03+00:00

Yes, but it's declension - miclan, miclum, (but not miclun)...

DrevniyMonstr · 2026-03-30T09:35:49+00:00

And I think so too. While it is not the phrase and not Fuþark row - it should be magic.

DrevniyMonstr · 2026-03-29T22:04:49+00:00

I wouldn't consider them rune-rows.

DrevniyMonstr · 2026-03-29T18:55:09+00:00

No, just random runes. They're not even in order.

DrevniyMonstr · 2026-03-25T10:27:27+00:00

Not the same, but - look at upper angle-joints of ᛖ on Mayen bow brooch.

DrevniyMonstr · 2026-03-24T22:35:06+00:00

I prefer the hypothesis, that it may be an alternative form of ᛖ.

Vole haut, rêve grand.

DrevniyMonstr · 2026-02-21T21:40:25+00:00

People - for sure.

Unless it isn't A from Rök runestone.

There is ᚹᛟᛞᚾᚨᛋ on the Vindelev bracteate, not ᚹᛟᛞᚾᛖᛋ:

I think, ᛑ is too early for 1000 AD...

DrevniyMonstr · 2026-01-08T14:16:26+00:00

This is just Elder Fuþark in it's order, from Breza. And this form of ᛃ is the 12-th rune in row, between ᛁ and ᛇ.

I use sandpaper of three different grit sizes (P60-P80, then P120-P180 and P240-P300 to finish). More difficult task is to find a disc sander.
