During my very first podcast ever, one of the hosts who happened to be my friend Thomas Sheridan, mentioned that he knew a man that threw runes at people who he took an instant disliking to. Which was not willy-nilly, these people were the usual doorbell botherers: TV license people, salesmen, Jehova’s witnesses, collectors etc.

I may be a bit off in my precise recollection, but I do admit that those would be the people I would be using that tactic on myself.

And it gave me an idea to share here.

I can not recall whether that man used specific runes or just randomly grabbed a few or he used the entire futhark. I can see the merit in all of those and I will explain why.

For this article and its intended purpose I have made tiny sets of runes as shown below.

Two full elder futharks, several sets of single runes (I will explain why I used those specific ones) and 5 sets of curse runes.
