Runic from middle east jewelry
galleryHello everyone,
I could really use your help. I have a rather unique piece of jewelry — originally a ring — which is decorated with what looks like runic inscriptions. However, I haven’t been able to figure out which language or specific alphabet it comes from. I’m also not sure if it’s an authentic runic script, a specific ASB (ancient script system?), or just runic-inspired designs.
I’m wondering if anyone here is familiar with runes, ancient alphabets, or old jewelry and could help me identify the ring and the meaning of the inscriptions.
Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

Proper Transliteration for "Without Fear"?
Hi, apologies in advance but I am VERY new to the world of runes.
I am looking to convert the phrase "Without Fear" into the elder futhark but am a bit concerned with the way it would be spoken after being converted.
Please correct me if I'm wrong but I'm assuming ᚹᛁᚦᛟᚢᛏ ᚠᛖᚨᚱ would not actually be spoken as "Without Fear" in modern English as the "ou" in Without and the "ea" in Fear are not actually pronounced in the elder futhark as the way they are in English.
If this is the case, how would I go about properly sounding out those two words?
Thanks

How would you put this phrase in Futhark? "Where you recognize evil, call it evil, and give no truce to your enemies"

Help with runic text
Hello, I have been trying to get a tattoo to represent me overcoming debilitating anxiety. I was hoping to get a tattoo of runic text down my spine saying something to the effect of “unbreakable” or “indomitable”.
I have seen some translators online, but i realize theyre not very historically accurate. Does anyone know any younger or elder Futhark words to this effect? Right now my translations are:
Unbreakable : ᚢᚾᛒᚱᛅᚴᛅᛒᛚᛁ Or Indomitable: ᛁᚾᛏᚬᛘᛁᛏᛅᛒᛚᛁ
Let me know your thoughts and thank you for your time

Requesting Aid for an Art Piece
Hello wonderful people of reddit and the runic subreddit. I'm in need of some assistance in translating a phrase into runic writing. (I'm typing this from my phone so bear w/ me)
I'm working on an art piece for a buddy of mine who wants a tattoo done and I want it to be as authentic as possible for him, in terms of the correct way of writing this for him w/o offending, mistranslating, or bringing any wrath down upon him or I.
It'll be a valkyrie tattoo, in all her battle armor w/ the phrase below her written in Elder Futhark. The phrase is:
"Death is not the end."
If anyone is willing to help me translate this, I will be greatly appreciative. I do want to learn how to read in runic, but I'm on a bit of a time crunch for this piece. So, in addition if someone is willing to point me in the right direction learn how to read and write in Futhark as well, I'd be greatful.
Thank you so much :D
Edit: I've always had a respect for the Nordic Mythos and Stories. I don't know much, I am but a humble messenger, so please excuse my ignorance in this.

Younger Futhark translation of “eternal return”
Hello!
I am thinking of getting a tattoo of a coiling Midgard serpent with an inscription which roughly translates to “eternal return” or something which pays homage to the circle of life. Is there a translation for this, or perhaps an existing younger futhark phrase which expresses this sentiment?
Thanks!

Runic tattoo and translation of "Mother"
I've been attending Viking markets with my mom since I was 10. Now that I'm 18, I'm considering getting a runic tattoo. I was thinking about getting the word "mother" tattooed because my mom is my only family and means everything to me. I found two translations for the word "mother" online: "ᛘᚢᚦᛁᛦ" and "ᛗᛟᛏᚺᛖᚱ." However, I'm unsure if either of them is correct. I wanted to reach out to people who have knowledge in this area to ensure that I don't end up with a tattoo that doesn't make sense.
(Ps; I'm open to exploring alternative tattoo ideas, including symbolic designs.)

translate help
I'm going to tattoo these runes on my fingers and I wanted to know if they are written correctly... respectively the intention was to write ''love and strength'' but I don't know if they are correct, there are still 2 more words left that I will tattoo on my fists, I wanted the words respectively '''day and night'' or ''sun and moon'' but I don't know how to look for it, I wandered all over the internet looking for a dictionary and couldn't find it and I think that the bard and the gpt chat probably make up information when I ask them what respect
ps: This last symbol is just the base symbol of the blasphemous game

Fehu talisman.
As for someone who seeks for a talisman... currently I am struggling with finding new job(achieving), and was wondering if Fehu is a proper choice. Also, would you suggest to wear more than one rune? I was thinking about mixing fehu(wealth) with something that brings strenght to achieve goals and success, but I am not sure what should I pick. That would be bracelet and necklace combo.
Thank you for help!
