Bind Runes
Bind runes, very simply, are two or more (Futhark) rune symbols joined together to form a powerful magical sigil. These runes are ideally suited for use as talismans or for spellwork. The possible combinations are almost limitless.
Probably the most popular bind rune design in Viking times was the simple cross shape, which had a rune at each of the four points of the cross. This particular design is ideal as the points of the cross can equate to compass points meaning that bindrunes can be designed to take into account the elements and directions that feature so strongly in magic.
Another very popular design was the eight spoked wheel. Runes were written not only at the end of each spoke, but also along the spoke. Again the elements and directions can be used if desired.
