From the back of the box:

"This Elder Futhark runes card set is illustrated and
conceived by Axel Torvenius, an artist and illustrator
living in Sweden with a deep interest in the ancient runes.

It is an artists interpretation and a creative adaptation of
the Scandinavian runes, taking inspiration from the rich
heathen heritage in Sweden. Numerous heathen locations
and runestones visited by the artist has served as a
starting point. The artwork on these cards is a blend of
classic interpretation of the runes and the descriptions
from old known sources, mixed with an artistic insight
and respect for the mystic aspects. The result is a rune
deck never before seen and a completely unique deck.

Meant to be used as a source of inspiration for anyone
interested in the Elder Futhark runes, as a divination tool
set for people working with runes from a spiritual and
magic aspect, or for the one just interested in heathen
themed artwork.

The deck takes the classic Futhark order as the primary
route, but also offers the lesser known Uthark theory as
an optional path. This set can be used as a companion deck
to the “Bind Rune Deck” and the “Shadow runes of the
Elder Futhark” wooden rune set designed by Torvenius.

Within is 24 rune cards with detailed illustrations, and a
booklet with explanations and comments by the artist."
