Peace, Prosperity and Neutrality Bind-Rune:
Bind Runes:
For the most part, a bind rune is simply a combination of letters to help shorten texts when carved on objects and of various materials. That's more or less the entire extent of it. The more modern concept of Bind Runes are used as symbolic expressions associated with letters to create specific designs and express specific concepts. The following explains this in my personal creation of Peace, Prosperity and Neutrality.
This combines two T Runes opposition of one another, and a form of the Y rune or rune of rotating cycles. One might also see the I rune of Ice for things being frozen or at a standstill, however, that isn't what this above design is based in or upon. Its previous incarnation was as:
Because many ask what would be a proper bind-rune for peace and prosperity. Many forget the concepts that a raised arrows spear or sword represented war and battle.
T = War/Tor/Thunder
The T Rune when used as a symbol of a spear or arrow head, and is also given various names including Tyr and Tor, which primarily refers to the god of thunder and lightning, appearing in names like Torsdag (Thursday).
It also comes from the Old Norse prefix tor-meaning "hard, difficult," and can mean a rocky peak or hill, linking to the English "tor" as a hard or difficult hill or rocky peak to climb.
When inverted, and according to many ancient customs, parties choosing peace would cross spears and so on, point down, in the dirt and also represents the peaceful gesture of lowing or sheathing a weapon.
Y, I, J = Year/Era
The Y rune (also I and J) Rune is used as a symbol representing the harmony of the cycles and can be at either angle. This one is a rotation from right to left view. In any case, it also represents the year, harvest, cycles, and rewards for hard work, which can be defined as harmony and prosperity.
Some also consider it a sort of symbol for rebound or a double boomerang like tool used for hunting small animals (but did not work in the manner many think of because of old toy forms).
Alternatively one can also combine both directions of the T which also becomes a symbol of neutrality as well as a stalemate where there is no winner or looser.
Instead of using the Y Rune one can use the N Rune instead.
N = Nord/Norn (North)
It shares its root with the meaning of "need," and "necessity," though as Nord (Nordic) and Norn means North and Northern, and is a name for the three coequal Goddesses called the Northern Ones or Nornir (Norns). Others consider it a binding knot symbol unto itself.
However, if one instead applies the N rune it ends up taking the shape of a dollar sign and holds a sense of both mutual neutralization as in ending conflicts, but also has a sense of binding unto itself.
Note: There are many forms of "runes" that have many origins, so the specific system should be considered. These two, can be considered the more common ones all the same so when combined with the inverted T representing the opposite of war, it is a symbol of peace. If other intents are applied, it can also represent defeat. Its all context based.
My person favorite
Using Y Rune it looks like the original but has the extra line for the arrow at the top so it already contains the neutrality concept and still retains a sense of peace/end of conflict. Some may choose to represent it with the Y rune in reverse to match the direction of rotation of the sky as I have done here.
Others can have it in reverse as they see it from their particular hemisphere. Both are acceptable and convert the same basic meaning as shown here having the added sense of neutrality or mutual well-being and good will.
