How can I write English names and messages in runes?
You just substitute runes for each letter of the message or name and put a colon between each word. Don’t forget that the runes are phonetic, i.e. you spell things the way they SOUND, not the way they LOOK. For example TH is represented by just one rune, Thurisaz; not Tiwaz with Hagalaz. You can find the letter equivalents and a guide to pronunciation on the bindrune introduction page and a much fuller transcription tutorial in the members area.
