I made some Runes about 6 months ago (I think), time goes by so fast it may have been a year. I kept meaning to get a book on them but didn’t. I did all the lessons on Spells 8 and enjoyed them. After I was done, I went to Amazon and looked up runes on Kindle Unlimited and there are a ton of books on Runes for free. Thanks @BryWisteria for this challenge!

I went back to Amazon and ordered some Lapis Lazuli Runes. They are gorgeous! They are coming in tomorrow. I really need to stay off Amazon. Lol!

Yes, they are witches’ runes, made by our own lovely @Magdelina Crazy T’s Knotty Yarn and Curio Cabinet They have black obsidian gemstones in them!
I have studied astrology but I know nothing about birthhour and solar runes! It sounds very interesting. I am looking forward to seeing your entry!
With love

@marsha we actually have forum posts about your birth date & birth hour & I believe solar runes (the latter may be mentioned in the posts):

Oh, My Gods! Now that I see the post I remember it. I am losing my mind . . .
My Birth Rune is Gebo and my birth hour rune is Laguz!
Rune 7 – GEBO
Gebo relates to our relationships and reminds you that we always should give in order to receive. It reflects the need for living in harmony with yourself, so you can do the same with others.
Rune 21 – LAGUZ
This is one more feminine rune. It relates to our intuition and imagination. You will easily feel connected to the Divine, being able to handle anything.
This makes a lot of sense to me. I tend to give too much, so I need more balance here, and I’m working on feeling like I’m worthy to receive. And yes, I can easily connect to the Divine, and when I do I feel like I can handle anything!
Thanks so much for turning the light on for me @Susurrus

To add onto my post as an update, i am working on the course. I had a purchased set of runes made from alder wood, but had not consecrated them. I watched the course section on making and consecrating them, so i took my set into my backyard, where i have an ash tree. As i touched and named each rune by breathing the name over it, i touched each one to the trunk of the ash tree. Then i put them into the storage bag. I will probably make a nicer storage bag! They are on my altar in my ritual room, but i have to keep them closed away from my cat, who LOVES the altar and routinely knocks my stones off it to play with them! My first single draw was TIr. I did notice that two of my runes were a little different than the printables page (Ing and Sowelo), but otherwise the page was helpful! On to read about Tir!

Marsha,
Gebo relates to our relationships and reminds you that we always should give in order to receive. It reflects the need for living in harmony with yourself, so you can do the same with others.
Hi Marsha I am thinking of my husband right now and I am thinking about how I can make our relationship much better and brighter!?Lets imagine we go somewhere for the weekend? We have a date night etc etc
how can I bring in some some laughter some joy ?how can I bring in some Jokes he he he? What did the big ghost say to the little ghosts? It’s Halloweenie. I am positive this is the energy I feel coming from the Gebo!
Anyway let’s meditate on bringing some harmonizing music 
I’m just saying when we bring out this rune casting and we can try to visualize or meditate and ask ourselves questions that will give us the capability to bring these energies out.? Sound fair
Does this make sense?
So I just cited to make my own spread and just go with it I don’t know if it’s gonna work but I’m treating this as if it was a deck of cards. Is that OK I don’t know any controversy about this?
I think of the top of the crown of the head purple the top because this is my higher self. Where is my light source coming from the rune says ##Eihwaz## Pronunciation EEH, WAWZ
Rebirth, Endings, Strength, endurance, be patient rebirth!

@Amethyst’s Challenge Entry
So I’ve been pulling one rune a day, mainly to learn them slowly but surely. So today I moved to a Three Rune Spread, to see what I needed to know.
Today’s Rune Cast was a three-rune spread, Overview, Challenges, and Action.
My Overview was Algiz, which means guardian, home, safety, awakening. I want to be safe at home.
My Challenge was Uruz. Strength, health, vigor, force. My health is keeping me from doing the things I want.
And my Action is Mannaz. Community. Relationships. So I guess I’ve got to rely on my doctors to help me.
So that’s my Rune Cast for the day. Not something I didn’t know but maybe something I needed to verify. We’ll see.
So that’s what I did for the challenge! Hope you like it!

Great job with your Rune spread @Amethyst! I haven’t drawn 3 of anything really 
I always hang out with one because by the time I think I have them down, something goes awry & I start all over with the one until I can move up to 2 & sometimes 3!
I think your interpretations were great & being able to make sense of them! I have days with one that I’m like… um…what!!! Kudos to you!

I had received a set of Witch Runes from a witch box subscription months ago and never used them. I was reading a kindle book called Witch Runes how to make and Interpret by Alison Beldon-Smith. She wrote about cleaning and consecrating them. I received my Lapis runes from Amazon and I am going to clean both sets tonight. They are in a bowl of salt and I will set them out under the moonlight. Then I will say:
“Gracious Goddess with your moonlight
Cleanse these Runes throughout the night
From past memories set them free
That they may evermore serve me.”
I will consecrate them tomorrow morning and they will be ready to use.

Those are beautiful! Both sets! I still have to work on my entry. I accidentally came across Witches Runes a bit ago when I was doing the Elder Futhark & Ogham.
I will have to look into the book on them! Thank you so much!

Thank you 
so much for your great explanation, that helps me to understand Gebo much better. 
Your 
pentagram reading is so interesting! I love this idea for doing a reading. I’m going to do some research and see what I can find. Thank you for the inspiration. 
With love and magick always

Aside from the fantastic info here on Spells8 on Runes, there’s a Nordic Saami Norn on YouTube called Freyja Norling (I think I’ve posted links to her videos before for info on Loki). Her analysis of the Runes is quite interesting.

I wasn’t sure I had interpreted it right, but that’s what I got, you know? And I get being intimidated by spreads, it’s difficult to read them together. Thanks, love!

Marsha,
Thank you 
I really wanted to make a spread that was simple and heard about it on Podbean but it was for a card spread and I just used it for the runes! I think we can try to use easy spreads for the runes!
Tonight I am hoping to use this rune for good luck charm 
Ostara- I really like your runes they are magical!
Amethyst- I really like your spread it’s really simple and to the point!
Also I am halfway done with my classroom activities on the forum for the runes!
Here are my prints for Rune Meanings
I have been studying my runes and half done 50 percent to go!

Witchy Challenge Entry: Runes.
I am so glad we did this challenge because I’ve been so curious about Runes and this made me learn more about them 
I really need a badge for doing my chores every week, those badges are so motivating LOL. Can I get a badge for getting my oil changed? I have been putting that off.
So, for this challenge, since I am a completely new to Runes, I completed the Spells8 course.
Let me say that again. I completed the Spells8 course. I did all the lessons. First time I have done a course all the way through. Let us hope this is a new habit.
And I really enjoyed it. I am excited to learn that rune reading is so compatible with other forms of spell work, like using candles, crystals and Tarot. And I LOVE the symbolism! I love the icicle rune and the “weird” one.
I plan to make a rune BOS with all the Spells8 rune printable pages soon, but for now, I just did the course and I made my own set of Runes.
I was about 3/4 of the way through the course when I made the Runes. I just couldn’t wait any longer. Well, I hadn’t read the part yet where it said make one side blank, so you can read reversals. So on my Runes, both sides have the rune.
But it’s all good. I just put a red dot on one side that is the reversal side. Because I know me and once I turn over that rune, if there are three or more in a spread, I am going to promptly forget whether it was reversed or not. My short term memory is not great.
So my mistake actually turned out to work for me.
I used wood slices I bought at Dollar Tree and a brown permanent marker to make my Runes. It didn’t take long at all and I really like them. I knew carving was out because I don’t have that degree of fine motor dexterity.
I have been doing one-rune draws to start, as I am still learning the meanings. Tonight I drew Naudiz. I was kind of pumped that it seemed to be evocative of Saturnian energy, tonight being Saturday and all. And Saturn is prominent in my birth chart. At least it’s a familiar vibe. Some of us need all the restraint the Universe can dish out.
So, I am digging the Runes. Thanks so much for another fun witchy challenge!
