Summary
The Wanderer’s Journal is a pocket-sized (4” x 6”) notebook. It features a smyth-sewn binding with a ribbon marker and a flexible hardcover with a copper foil embossed image of Odin’s ravens, Hugin and Munin, stamped on the front. In addition to 148 blank ruled pages, the journal includes 13 illustrated rune pages with rune translations on the reverse pages. The rune illustrations by E.L. Wilson are based on Dr. Jackson Crawford’s handwritten runes from 13 verses he selected from the Norse poem Hávamál. The translations are sourced from Dr. Crawford’s frank and down-to-earth translations from “The Cowboy Hávamál.” The Old Norse was written with the sixteen-letter Younger Futhark runic alphabet, which is used in this journal.

From 2011 to 2020 he taught the Old Norse language, as well as courses in Norse mythology and Old Norse saga literature, at major universities including UCLA, UC Berkeley, and the University of Colorado Boulder. During that time, he also served as a consultant on a popular video game, television programs, and major Hollywood films. Since 2020 he has been an independent educator, using his YouTube channel and popular translations of Norse myths and sagas from Hackett Publishing to reach hundreds of thousands of viewers and readers with well-sourced information about Norse language, mythology, and runes. His research interests today focus on the relationship of the runes to Mediterranean alphabets, as well as the use of linguistic criteria to determine the date of Old Norse texts.
