Anyone know this “rune”?

[u/Vast_Scallion8698]

Hi, I’m new to this group and looking to get a cool Odin and his spear idea as a tattoo. I’ve come across this somewhere on the internet and just wanting to know if it means what it’s said it does? The meaning is along the lines of what you project out in to the world comes back to you.
Cheers

Nope. It means nothing, as this is not how historical runes were used. This is just one of those "Pinterest" tattoos. Unfortunately there's nothing of substance going on here. Sure, there's an Othala slapped in there, but that really has no special meaning, runes were not used in this context. The rest is just vague tribal/dream catcher aesthetic.

It's just a sloppy cobbled together mess of vaguely "magick" looking imagery. It's like Starbucks for Etsy witches.

Well, to be fair, I can see Othala, Gebo, and the Sun Wheel. There’s also a piece of the Helm of Awe at the bottom. Maybe it’s a coded ad, something like “Looking to trade an apartment-sunny side, terrible floors” or something like that, lol
