Divination with The Runes

[christina4]

Thank you @Liisa I’m so happy that you’re back!!!

[IrisW]

Thanks for this.

I’ve just bought my first set of runes and this gives me a good place to start

[BryWisteria]

Another insightful and inspirational rune post from Rune Master Liisa- thank you so much for blessing us with this wisdom!

@Liisa

I know basil made a post about making your own Runes

Perhaps this one? This thread explored making home-made runes using feathers:

Attempt to make my own Runes

I made these runes using duck feathers. As feathers are messages from angels, I found it quite fitting! They are not perfect, difficult to paint with markers. I sealed the edges usin nail varnish. In the future I will use proper colour for each “rune”. I used them twice, so far, and got interesting messages out of them. [IMG-20210504-WA0000] [IMG_20210504_050156] 1st.

We were starting to miss you, Liisa, and the runes!! ᛚᛁᛁᛊᚨ

Thanks for the tips and spreads. I think the traditional rune cast is my favorite because it offers so many things to analyze: spaces, sides, shapes, interactions…!

@christina4 I’m so happy to be back also I missed soooo many posts but I’m getting though them

@IrisW congrats in the new Rune set I was going to make some but I’ve become so attached and tuned into my bought set that I’ll probably just use them now

@BryWisteria thank you that’s the post I was talking about it was really good for ideas

@Francisco I missed everyone also there is so much to explore with the Rune cast method so many possibilities for interpretations I might try a post on just that method next

Someday I’ll make my own, my own

I am following @basil’s tutorial right now:

Thanks for the inspiration, Iris!

Francisco,
Nice job! I think I can do that! They look great!
I got a Popsicle stick and I think I’m just gonna do them one by one.
Thank you Basil

Thank you I’ve been a bit stuck on my path with the runes…

Hi, I also made my own runes, but there is no tutorial on the site that teaches runners to predict with runes?

[anon87969570]

I bought this set decades ago - long before I began practicing the Craft - because it looked cool.

[anon87969570]

There are many sites that give some interpretation. Search ‘Elder Futhark runes’ and you should find them.

As far as using runes in divination, I know that some rune readers use a simple and easy daily practice: drawing one rune a day and gaining insight about the day ahead based on the rune. It’s very similar to the one-card daily reading in Tarot. You can learn more about this method of rune divination in Rune Wisdom Learning and the many rune draw posts in the forum.

And @anon87969570 is right on- there are plenty of places out there to learn more about rune divination! I know @Liisa shared a book she recommends about rune divination: Runes for Beginners: A Guide to Reading Runes in Divination

As for other ways to use runes in magick, @Liisa shared some great ones:

Runes in Magick - Runic Script, Bindrunes, Talismans and Amulets

There is only limited written historical evidence of the Runes uses in magical practices throughout the ages. We do have an array of archeological finds where Runic Script or Bindrunes have been carved into spears, swords, shields, rocks and giant stones to protect from harm or to bring in prosperity and luck. Runic Archeological Finds There are a few different ways to use Runes for magical purposes. Runic Script, Talismans and Amulets or Bindrunes are the most common and well known uses of th…

To Zari and all those exploring the world of rune divination, wishing you blessed readings!

@BryWisteria
Thank you for the complete answers and links I really need. You are a wise wizard.:

[anon87969570]

The universe has answered! This came up in my email today. It isn’t perfect but is a place to start. The Moonlight Shop sells witchy items, but also has a blog.

I wish it said more about spreads and interpretation, but can’t have everything.

[zari]

Thanks, a brief explanation of the concept of runes can help me get acquainted with the general concept of runes, and thanks for sharing great resources, I can not buy from this store due to location, but I enjoyed seeing so much beauty. And maybe I can find ideas to make my own craft. Thank you very much.

[BryWisteria]

You’re very welcome, @zari- I’m glad I could help! Enjoy your rune divinations and blessed be!

@anon87969570, it’s the exact one I have, except my bag is blue.

[mary34]

this was really awesome. I went to the dollar store and picked up some wooden cubes and made me some runes using your link.
