Ep 76 - How Were Runes Used? With Dr. Martin Findell

This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with Dr. Martin Findell, who quite literally wrote the book on Runes!  Martin has been one of our most requested guests and together with the boys he'll be going over everything from Bracteate, to the iconic Ulfbert swords, and beyond. In true NMP style there will also be a full roundup of the truth behind popular runic misconceptions, so be prepared for things to get complicated in the best possible way!
