A little over 5 months ago I had memorized the Anglo Saxon runes and used them for really mundane things, like taking notes and stuff. In this process I learned people don't even try to decipher them, even when they look almost identical to the latin alphabet.
Thus I cheated on many a test by having a ton of things from the study guide right next to me.

It's weird that your teacher didn't mind you having such things at the time of test. Here usually you can't have much stuff on your desk at such times, regardless of what it is

The classroom just had tables, so the teacher didn't care if we just scooted our stuff to the side, which includes my binder that had the runic notes in the cover

Do you know any old norse words? I'm looking for fear and greed in old norse written in runes.

Why do you oppose them so firmly? As far as I know, as they are made of natural materials they are fine. Moreover, I own a set made from stones by a friend and I have good experience with them.

Ah. The traditional runes were carved on slats of wood. The Norse term, to refer to a rune expert of my acquaintance, was to "cut runes," and referred to creating the runes from wood by cutting the symbols with either a chisel or a knife. In many ways, I am a traditionalist.
Now as far as other people, if you like the stone runes, then by all means use them. I have always believed that if it works then it should be used. Just because I loathe them is no reason for you to abandon them.

Oh, that's tiny. I thought they were more like 9 or 10. I guess it's just the way you took the picture.
