What will I learn?
The Runes & Symbolism Course provides a concise, hands-on introduction to runic alphabets, dating techniques, and inscription materials, before progressing to epigraphic skills for transcription, transliteration, and translation. You'll engage with primary sources, museum catalogues, and digital tools, craft clear exhibition texts, and compare runes with adjacent symbol systems to tackle ethics, ideology, and cultural exchanges with assurance.
