Runes
Runes are an ancient Germanic alphabet
used from 100 B.C.E. to 1600 C.E. throughout
Europe, Scandinavia, the British Isles
and Iceland for writing, divination and
magick.
Runes are generally used to offer advice.
A question is asked and an answer is provided
in the form of a hint. The reader interprets
the meaning behind the card and offers
you a choice of paths to take to seek
a resolution.
The fate of your question is not in
the cards, it is in the choices you make.
Runes does not claim to be a fortune teller,
it is a method that allows you to analyze
the path you are on and helps you to realize
an outcome.
Runes can be carved onto small bits
of wood, clay or stone and scattered across
the cloth or they can be cards much like
the tarot types.
Rune Origins
The Old Germanic Runic alphabet originated
with 24 runes. As the runes evolved with
the times, letters were added to compensate
for extra letter sounds in the alphabet
known as the Anglo-Saxon Futhorc. Each
letter in the Runic alphabet has a meaning
as well as a magical and religious significance
attached to it.
Three most commonly used runic alphabets
- Elder Futhark - Oldest version
of the runic alphabet
- Anglo-Saxon Futhorc –
Brought to Britain in the 5th century
by the Anglo-Saxons and used until the
11th century to write Anglo-Saxon/Old
English.
- Younger (or Scandinavian) Futhark
- Used in Scandinavia until about the
17th century.
Reading Settings
- The reader usually begins by seating
themselves towards the North, in the
direction of the North Gods as was believed
in Norse mythology.
- A small white cloth is put down on
a surface in front of the reader that
sets a boundary for the cards.
- A question is asked and the runes
are shuffled around in a bag or container.
- A number of runes are pulled out
and placed in front of you in any type
of tarot layout.
Create your own Runes
Natural mediums such as wood or stone
are always the favorable choice when designing
your own runes because they are connected
to the earth.
- The Rune alphabet should be engraved
or painted onto your choice of medium.
- Colors can either be red for the
God aspects, green for the Goddess aspects
or blue to represent the color of Odin
who rules the Runes.
- Rune pieces should be carried in
a pouch made of non-synthetic materials.
