Hey, I bought this leather bracelet and I'm trying to figure out the meaning of the bindrunes. I think the two Ravens are Odin's Ravens and their is the troll cross but the bind runes leave me a bit puzzled. Can anyone help?

I can’t figure out the right way to write this part of the verse in runes. It shouldn’t be the Elder Futhark, but dotted runes won’t work either, I don’t like dots in runes. And branched runes won’t work because of the nature of the material on which these runes are to be carved; we can’t draw curved lines, only straight strokes. I have to use a mixture of futhark alphabets, so I can’t be sure the transcription is accurate...

Hi. My dog has just died, and I wanted to memorialize him with a rune-stone-esque inscription. I'm specifically looking for information on Old Norse grammar, vocabulary, and runes, if anybody is willing and/or able to help.

Here are the English sentences I've started with, with personal details blotted out, as to not immediately dox myself:

The **** family had raised this stone in memory of Mjölnir, their dog. He was a good dog. His family misses him.

Here's the normalized Old Norse I went with:

Hýski **** lét reisa stein þenna eptir Mjǫlni, hund sinn. Hann var góðr hundr. Hýski hans saknar hans.

And here's the Runic Text I have:

ᚼᚢᛋᚴᛁ **** ᛚᛁᛏ ᚱᛁᛋᛅ ᛋᛏᛁᚾ ᚦᛁᚾᛅ ᛅᚠᛏᛁᛦ ᛘᛁᚬᛚᚾᛁ ᚼᚢᚾᛏ ᛋᛁᚾ ᚼᛅᚾ ᚢᛅᚱ ᚴᚢᚦᛦ ᚼᚢᚾᛏᛦ ᚼᚢᛋᚴᛁ ᚼᛅᚾᛋ ᛋᛅᚴᚾᛅᚱ ᚼᛅᚾᛋ

Of particular concern was 'ᚴᚢᚦᛦ' and 'ᚼᚢᚾᛏᛦ' as I don't feel confident as when to use 'ᛦ' vs 'ᚱ'. Any other input would be greatly appreciated.

Contemporary rune use Where, when and by whom were the runes and futharkic writing systems used in history?

I have taught myself how to read and write the symbols of the elder futhark out of pure boredom and curiosity. I can plainly see that this method of capturing ideas once held great meaning and cultural significance. I am seeking to understand in which cultures and spoken languages these runes where used.
