One of the reasons I’ve done this is because there’s almost no actual runology on Substack, only nonsense magic-centred ‘information’ about runes… let’s hope I can change that!

Very excited that all the articles from the 2024 International Congress of Onomastic Sciences have now been published open access as Volumes 16-20 of Onomastica Uralica! All 84 articles can be accessed here mnytud.arts.unideb.hu/onomural/kot...
