The majority of runestones are memorials to people who died, whether at home or abroad. Some runestones also functioned as a form of public declaration for land ownership. Others believe that some possess magic or even curses.My guest, runestone photographer Johan Grennard (@tales_from_the_north), joins me to discuss famous runestones located in Sweden from before the Vendel period through the Viking Age.
