I have a large stone (roughly 2 x 3 feet) with Runes written all around the border and a large symbol in the centre.
I don’t know how to read it or what the symbols mean and it would mean a lot to have it translated.
Please pm and I can give you more information.
Thanks

Male Hearth....one day🤞Dream on.I don’t know anything about Runes, but maybe posting a picture here will get you a little more exposure, and make it more likely someone will be in a position to help you out? 🙂
Good luck! 😀
Agreed. However, I am currently photo-challenged. I’ll see what I can pull together.
I’d welcome any help posting pics.

You can post photos directly from your computer. Clay explains how to do it on page 19 of “New website concerns (fixes, suggestions, etc)” which is under “Help and Feedback”.

Do you know what language they are? I don’t know runes, but looking up the individual letters shouldn’t be a problem with Google. I dabble in linguistics, and if the inscription is not very long, I’d like to see if I can do the necessary research to give it a try – especially if it is in a Germanic language, since that is what I know best.

The runes I know are Nordic and are called Elder Futhark. There are 24 in the alphabet. I have studied runes but I’m not sure if I have any books on outright literal translation for each rune. A lot of the runes are given a general meaning. Which is then affected by the runes closest to them.
I’m not sure if I could figure out a literal translation, but given some time, I’d be willing to see what I could come up with.
Looking for:
"COSMIC SHIFT DRAGONS and KI-RINS" and the "OCTOPUS TANUKI TEST PAINT #1"Sounds like you’d have a much better chance of success than me! I’ve been curious about runes, and I’ve read some about them, but I’ve never actually tried to learn them. Most of my knowledge is in modern languages.

Runes have always fascinated and interested me. There are different sets of runes too. There really isn’t any true literal translation of one rune meaning one letter. So translation depends on which set of runes has been used and how they affect each other. Then that goes back to who made the original stone because if it’s modern it can easily end up being a hodge podge of the different sets. A lot of times a large stone like that is just inscribed with random runes so it “looks good” or used as a way to teach runes. If you like Norse mythology, that is where the Elder runes originated. Odin is the God that brought them to us and gave meaning to them.
Looking for:
"COSMIC SHIFT DRAGONS and KI-RINS" and the "OCTOPUS TANUKI TEST PAINT #1"I’m not sure of the age or origin, but my dad had the stone for at least 60 years. He received it from a much older person at that time. I realize that’s relatively new in the world of ancient languages, but it’s pretty old to me.
