A Younger Futhark alphabet classroom poster designed by Icelandic graphic artist Siggi Oddsson. It's neat seeing things like a helicopter and automobile as associated icons to help learn the runes and pull them forward in time to the present. [ available here from the The Icelandic Magic Company.] #    #    # Guillermo Maytorena IV knew there was something special in  the Norse Lore when he picked up a copy of the d'Aulaires'  Norse Gods and Giants  at age seven. Since t hen he's been fascinated by the truthful potency of Norse Mythology, passionately read & studied, embraced Ásatrú, launched the  Map of Midgard  project, and spearheaded the neologism/brand NorsePlay.   If you have e mployment/ opportunities in  investigative mythology,  field research, or product development to offer,  do contact him .

Graphic artist Siggi Oddsson 's runic re-design of the Icelandic licorice candy lozenge package for Opal. In Odds' runification of popular logos, he shows examples of an alternate reality where the conversion never happened, and the use of the Fuþark had endured to the present. We feel the clever idea of this exploration could be impetus for cultural & religious reclaiming.
