Runes and Runic Inscriptions


Description

What are runes? What does runic writing teach about Scandinavian ancestry? Get an overview of the thousands of runestones existing today, primarily in Sweden, Norway and Denmark, but some being researched in North America. Also, talk about examples of runes in pop culture.

Loraine Jensen is the founder and president of the American Association for Runic Studies. She has developed an extensive network on runic research, including the Uppsala University in Sweden and the Smithsonian Institution. Those relationships and her expertise as a professional educator resulted in her being selected twice for a prestigious Fulbright Specialist appointment in Sweden.
