Bind Runes
A bind rune is a single glyph created by combining two or more runes, often for a practical or magical purpose. Bind runes are used in a magical context to blend the meanings of multiple runes into a single symbol with a specific intention, like creating a protective amulet or a personal sigil.
Many considerations go into making a bind rune, including which runes to include (or exclude) which runes become sympathetic in the creation, and the runic numerology for intent. As such, although there are many examples of bind runes that are easily found on the internet, the same sigil may have different meanings based on which runes were intentionally laid and received galdr.
The creation of a bind rune for magical intent is something not to be taken lightly and should be done by a skilled practitioner once they have understood the runes individually.
When I create a bind rune for someone there is a collaborative effort to more fully understand their desires, as well as craft a sigil that is aesthetically pleasing with all of the above considerations. They can then be burned or carved into wood, stone, or antler based on the discussion.
If you would like to work in collaboration with me to create a bind rune for you, please reach out.
