signs of the Futhark?

 


These interesting Futhark rune signs over need-fire NorsePlay'd graphic arrived in a promotional email sent out by Magin Rose. I honestly don't know enough about sign language to know if the Þ sign is correct, or if this is partly taken from the (questionable/inventive) "runic mudras" of Edred Thorsson, or partly from Joanne Harris' Rune series of books, or from the unattributed chart found on the internet below, but I like the visual aesthetics of this, and wonder again if the Norse had established themselves for the longterm across the Atlantic if this might've become their Vinland Sign Language.

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 then 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 employment/opportunities in investigative mythology,  field research, or product development to offer, do contact him.
