The Asferg Runestone as it now appears in the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagan. It is listed as DR 121 in the Rundata catalog. It was found at Asferg, Aarhus County, Midtjylland Region, Denmark. The runestone was discovered in 1795 at a barrow in Asferg but was still reused as a paving stone near a local mill before being shipped to the museum in 1825.

In English

(First Opinion) Life-forms can be celestially-healed by involving the high-life-powers : Those threads can get involved with astrology-magic : Revelations (of life forms) can be from astrology-magic : Moon-eyed Su cannot form-life : Revelations are not being threaded by astrology-magic.
(Second Opinion) Life-forms are not getting stuffed by the boundary (life-network). The Greaser (Selu, Selene) can thread the high-life-powers. : Fate-Curses are being energized by astrology-magic : Offerings can be noticed by Su
(Third Opinion) The Revelations (of life forms) have been foreshadowed by Thu. Astrology-Magic of Su can life-form nothing : Emotional-Energy can be noticed by Su. Don't offer anything to astrology-magic.
