I don't think runes are used anymore, but the latest rune system, the Darlecarlian runes, were used up till the 20st century in the Swedish province of Dalarna in Central-Sweden. Modern use is only found in neopaganism and esotericism.

Arild Hauge's website on runes is the most accurate I have found sofar. I'm still looking for other websites.

Wow, I'm really happy to see another person appreciating this kind of stuff! Could you answer some of my questions for me?

First of all: Do people in Scandinavia still use these ruins normally? Like, if you write your name, will they understand it?

Second of all: Where is the most accurate rune-study-website-thingy?

I have used the Anglo-Saxon runes for a one-by-one transcription of the English text. That's the reason I have used the Anglo-Saxon runes, because the older runes did not have enough runes for present day letters. Germannic tribes used the runes fonetically. Failures in my use of the runes: for 'th' I should have used the 'thorn' and in 'Edda' I should have used the 'd' only once.

Oh, right. Sorry. I've only learned the Elder and I'm going to start any kind of Younger soon.

More precise: the Anglo-Saxon runes
