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.
