Hi all,
new member here, I joined to look for help finding a suitable "wish-you-well" to put on a piece of jewellery; I'm making a silver pendant as a gift to a friend who has a nerdy nerve for vikings and Norse mythology. The plan (so far) is to have on the front side an adaptation of the image of sleipnir on Tjängvide stone, and on the back side I'd like to engrave a theme-fitting phrase or such. Which is where I'm stumped. Could you suggest an aphorism or such, ideally something from the Eddas? It has to be relatively short, I'm using simple hand tools and the piece it has to fit on will be about coin-sized.
Then I'd need to figure out how to express it in old Norse using younger futhark, but all in due time
