Odin Rune Tattoo Symbol - Odin was one of the primary gods of Norse mythology and principally a god of war. Slain warriors were permitted to join him in Valhalla, escorted by the Valkyrie, his maiden servants. However, there is no rune with the name of “Odin”. Instead, this is actually the OTHALA rune, which became associated with Odin. It has been adopted by neo-Nazis as a symbol of their cultural heritage and an attempt to connect themselves with ancient Norse mythology.
Othala is the Germanic name of this RUNE, also known as ethel in Anglo-Saxon, and given the modern phonetic value of “O”. Its traditional meaning is associated with inherited land and is also sometimes referred to as the ODIN RUNE. |

Perthro Tattoo Symbol - Perthro is the Germanic name of this RUNE, also known as peorth or pärz in Anglo-Saxon, and given the modern phonetic value of “P”. Its traditional meaning is associated variously with fruit trees, secret, mystery, and initiation. |
 |
Raido Tattoo Symbol - Raido is the Germanic name of this RUNE, also known as rad in Anglo-Saxon, reid in Old Norse, and given the modern phonetic value of “R”. Its traditional meaning is associated with raid, riding, or a journey. |

Sigrune Tattoo Symbol - In Germany, the Netherlands, and Britain, this symbol has been used by Nazi parties and very much resembles the SS LIGHTNING BOLTS. The original form comes from the rune of the yew tree, the EIHWAZ, which has been associated with defense. Because of its long growing period, yew has a very dense and strong wood, and was used to make battle bows, the most dangerous weapon during the Viking era. |
