SagaRune is an educational guide to Norse mythology and runes built around a simple promise: tell you what the surviving evidence says, tell you when scholars must reconstruct or debate something, and keep modern spiritual interpretation clearly labeled.
Profiles and stories are grounded in the medieval textual record and material evidence where relevant. Core texts include the Poetic Edda, Snorri Sturluson’s Prose Edda, skaldic poetry, saga material, and runic inscriptions.
The Eddas were written down in medieval Iceland, and Snorri’s organized mythological system is not automatically a transparent window into Viking-Age belief. SagaRune notes important differences between sources instead of smoothing them into one tidy version.
The Elder Futhark is presented first as a historical writing system. Rune names may be reconstructed from later related traditions, and modern divinatory meanings are placed in a separate Modern Reflection section rather than presented as ancient fact.
Modern Norse Paganism and personal spiritual reflection can be meaningful without needing to be mislabeled as ancient evidence. When SagaRune discusses modern interpretations, it says so plainly.
SagaRune stores favorites and the first-launch welcome state locally on your device. V1 does not require a SagaRune account or cloud sync. Hosting platforms may still process ordinary technical information needed to deliver the app.
This source shelf will grow as SagaRune’s library expands. Individual profiles identify their most relevant primary sources.
SagaRune is free to use and its educational content is available without tipping. If you enjoy exploring the Norse worlds here and would like to help Hrafnborinn keep researching, writing, and improving the app, you can leave an optional tip on Ko-fi. Tips never unlock exclusive app content or features.
