Paganistan: Notes from the Secret Commonwealth
In Which One Midwest Man-in-Black Confers, Converses & Otherwise Hob-Nobs with his Fellow Hob-Men (& -Women) Concerning the Sundry Ways of the Famed but Ill-Starred Tribe of Witches.
The Futhork Song
Just like the Witch kids used to chant.
Fee, Ox, Thurse, Ose
Ride, Keen, Gift, Win
Hail, Need, Ice, Year
Yew, Pear, Elk, Sol
Tew, Birch, Horse, Man
Lake, Ing, Ethel, Day
Lo, I have kennëd my futhork:
is this not a worthy work?
I've used modern names for the runes here, but there's no reason why you couldn't use the old ones instead. If you get a little creative and don't mind not quite keeping the “eights” intact—I usually pause after "Gift"—you can even sing it to the usual tune.
