- The Guild has gathered twice between this and the last update. First on 11th of June, when the outdoors project was finished; and now, on 13th of August, when 3 stones were ordered from us. One of them was already almost ready, which we finished, and the other two we began to scratch.
- At some point of the midsummernight the outdoor stone met an unusually cruel fate, as it was sprayed by some fucking retards. A cross and a smiley was painted beside the pattern and the pattern itself was stained. Fortunately the paint they used was waterbased and thus could be washed away. Still, the white runes and outlines need to be painted again since they're smudged. If we ever catch the losers who committed this pitiful act, we'll hang them by their testicles to the tallest tree in the forest.
|
- 19.05.2005 New pics in the galleries.

- 10.07.2004 The Guild gathered last weekend. Carving of a little ordered work was finished and the "Wotan stone" got some paint on her. The ordered work turned out to be by far the hardest stone we've ever scratched... The true meaning of Kakkipallo was revealed to us as we played it in heavy rain out on the mud field. Although no genuine "shit" was involved, the amount of mud upon us after a session was respectable. The Guild also had a guest of who's future in the Guild is still a mystery.
|
- 20.05.2004 some new images in the feast of Aegir.
|
- 15.05.2004 The Guild was summoned to Kankkila after a too long break. The "Wotan stone" that we began to carve last time is now carved... though it might get runes on the other side of her as well, this is a mystery yet unsolved. Siegfried -wallpainting got a little extension as well. There will be some images as fast as we get them developed.
- The guild has created a DeviantART account that can be found here.
|
- 13.03.2004 The Gathering took place again. This time we finnished and painted the stone that we began to scratch last time. We also started to scratch a new one. Blackworm had done some amulets and miniature statues out of clay and we started to add some color to them.

|
- 24.02.2004 Check out for an information of the history of Finland and Finland's relations with the Vikings in the History section.
|
- 18.02.2004 The Runestone Gallery has a new look.
- The Guild gathered at the 7th of february. We discovered that the bones were too fragile to make amulets of so we decided to move back to the basics. Pekka and Worm took a little trip to the garden and found an apple tree, thus cutting off a branch. This seemed a good material and some amulets were already made. We also gave a finishing touch to the wall painting and started to work on a new stone.
|
- 17.02.2004 A huge information package has been delivered to the runes -section and there's still more to come... Few images added to the feast of Aegir.

|
- 17.01.2004 The Guild was summoned again to the cave in Kankkila. We had a little trip to the woods and found a skeleton of a deer shot but a few days before... Thus we spend a good 8 hours boiling it's bones so that we can use them on the rune amulets. Also a new wall painting was made, a portray of Siegfried slaying the dragon.
- A discussion about the content of the guild pages was had and as soon as Pekka and Heikki have time to get into the business there will be done some major changes.

- A new winds may be blowing in the guild as we have discussed about a possibility to broaden our production line to a stone and/or wood rune amulets... And hopefully in the future they may be ordered from these pages... And were not gonna fuck with you since, if we start to make amulets, we shall do them properly and invoke the magick of the rune(s) by a ceremony and were gonna use our own blood as a color.

|
- 08.02.2003 At last we have gathered again! We decided to do a complete facelift to one of our stones - the ugly green one... We carved the annoying parts away and made the pattern go on to the other surface of the stone. We also made a snakehead to the pattern and painted it blue... It's not finnished yet but it is already a lot better than before...
- A glorious trip to the woods was also made during the daylights final futile effor against the nattestid... We tried to find stones fit to our purposes. Alas, in vain! ...We visited the "Karhukivi"-site and took some pictures of it as it stood on the snowy ground...
- We finally decided what to carve on the other surface of the "pattern stone"... And started to scratch the runes there... It also lies yet unfinnished.
|
- 04.02.2003 The guild shall finally meet again at the next saturday, 08.02...
|
- 15.11.2002 The "Moonstone" was delivered to it's new owners... They were happy...
|
- 09.11.2002 We finished the "Moonstone" and scratched the lines for the runes to the pattern stones other surface.
|
- 12.10.2002 The carving took place again in the cave... "Karhukivi" found its place in the woods of Kankkila and the pattern stone was painted... We began to carve runes on the other surface of the pattern stone and brought in a new stone; "The Moonsorrow stone".
|
- 06.10.2002 Zacharias has returned to Finland few weeks ago... The trial date is yet unknown, somewhere in the near future we will know better...
|
- 04.10.2002 Blackworm, Kubbe and Zacharias went into the woods in Porlammi and carved a praise for Ukko the Finnish King of Gods into the hilltop rock. The paint will be added sometime now...
- Kubbe will be acting as a weapons suplier for the guild from now-on... And he also will be taking part in the outdoor activities such as the one that took place at this date and time...
|
- 01.10.2002 We're about to carve stones again at the 12th day of this mooncycle... We are going to the woods to find a stone for a finnish epic heathen metal band Moonsorrow.
|
- 14.09.2002 We carved stones. We finished the pattern stone's scrathing for now, and it lacks only the paint. We also carved a neclace for each of us from a juniper tree... Rest of which was used for an axe handle for a new battleaxe.
|
- 31.08.2002 It seems that it is natural for Master of Arms to be violent. Zacharias was in Estonia and got a fight with local police. Now he is in Estonian jail. For how long, we do not know.
|
- 13.07.2002 Kubbe was released from jail, hooray! Shall he come back in the guild, we do not know.
|
- 01.06.2002 Blackworm moved to Jyväskylä and works there as an tattoo artist. Now the Guild wont meet so often ´cause all the members live in different parts of Finland. Webmaster doesn´t have a computer anymore, so pages wont be dated so often. But we will keep the guild and netsite going and do our best. May Ukko Ylijumala guide our path!
|
- 24.03.2002 We started to make a new stone. The basic idea of this one is the picture. There will be no text at all or only a word or two max.
- Another one-handed fauchard was made
|
- 26.01.2002 Finally we carved the runes to the stone we didn´t finish last time. We even painted it so it´s finished. Altought the text that we carved wasn´t very intelligent(probably too much beer). I hope that nobody bothers to translate it... Anyway, go and see pictures at gallery section.
- Oh yeah, we did make more of those weapons... a dagger and whatnot.
|
- 17.11.2001 Again a glorious meeting of the guild. We started to carve a new stone and got the pattern ready. What will we write into it, remains still a mystery...
- A new Master of Arms has been appointed. Saku "Zacharias" Lindberg, our long time friend has taken the hammer into his hands and now belongs to the guild...
- A new weapon saw it's first dawn. Our axe collection has grown as the light fauchard was made.
- We finally returned our beer bottle collection to the store. It totalled aprox. 480 bottles and we used the money we had from them on a good purpose; we spent it on alcohol...
|
- 5-7.10.2001 We carved the stones thru the whole weekend and managed to get something done! The fisrt ordered work was finnished
and money flowed into the guilds account (For reasons explained before, Kubbe wasn't with us and therefore the money was divided among the three remaining members. What a pity...) The customer was pleased and now the stone stands in the middle of her garden.
- We painted all of our stones! At last everything we have in our cellar, is finnished. Even the war-flail got a new paint on her beautiful skin.
|
- 5.10.2001 Time to carve runestones again! We met only once in the summer, wich is shame since it´s the best time to make these stones - at least in Finland where we have long winters. Anyway, we got our first runestone order and now it´s good time to start carving it.
|
- 3.10.2001 The new official Guild of the Runescratchers website is ready. Well, is it ever gonna be ready..?
|
- In summer, tough we didn't do much carving, a major change took place within the guild.
Kubbe, our Master of Arms was revealed to be pyromanic and he's going to spend some time in jail. The date, when he is about to start his career within the prison walls is yet unknown. His future in the guild is unknown also, it might just happen that we have an opening for the Master of Arms...
