Home > Red ochre

Red ochre is a red pigment that has been used worldwide since prehistoric times.

In Germanic rune lore, red ochre was often used in place of blood to redden, or tint, the runes and thereby instilling the spirit of life into the rune, enabling it to be used for magical purposes.

Chemically, it is anhydrous iron (III) oxide.

The word ochros traces to Greek meaning yellow, pale yellow.
