I’m getting a little freaked out about how in sync these challenges have been with my current explorations and path. As I’ve begun working with Lady Hel (Hela), the Norse Queen of Helheim, I’ve begun reading runes with her rather than tarot. I’m excited to think of something for this challenge.

I’ve recently begun working with Fehu in my prosperity spells. It’s engraved on my wand and it’s empowering to me.

Jill5,
I really like how you used the rune Fehu on your wand. What a good idea, I like the intention you put in your magic 
I have made a set of runes out of oak tree and out of cedar, for this challenge I am not sure what exactly I will do yet! I might explore the runes through divination and learn more about rune spreads and see how they correlate to card divination.
I could use some good luck 
I don’t want to be a spoiler and tell you what kind of luck I need but it is going in my Sigil journal I made.
I just found out that there’s find rules and I got it from my deck of cards called runes for modern life ancient divination cards.
Also I have this book I want to explore it’s written by Silver Raven &Nigel Jackson
I did not know that they could intertwine together and so I just wanted to share my knowledge with you and this important discovery.
Did you see the good luck Rune? I could use this for something I need and try to bring this energy to me for a specific intent I need.

Katnabis, very cool. I hope you will keep us informed after your road trip. I kept coming across the Runes when I was doing other Challenges or my readings. So, they have been on my list of “interesting”. Blessed Be.

@Garnet Your posts always make me smile- will you write a book someday, Garnet? I would love to sit down and spend a few hours enjoying your fun humor and great stories 
And no- I didn’t know there were Egyptian Runes, that is awesome! 
Thank you for sharing them- I hope you are able to get your own set! Please keep us updated on your studies! 
@Artemisia Hahaha this theme is definitely one I saw calling to you, Kat! 
And ohhh that’s amazing- how cool that the rune stone is there and available to visit. I hope you’re able to make the trip someday! 
Thanks for sharing the article!
@jessica72 It sounds like runes have really been calling to you, Jess (and crystals too, always crystals- but I certainly can’t blame you for that! Crystals are addictive 
) Gosh the amethyst rune set looks amazing- and hooray for supporting small local businesses! I hope your new rune set serves you well
@Amaris_Bane That’s amazing- perhaps we’ve all tapped into the “coven hivemind” somehow! 
I’m glad it’s a theme that resonates with you and your deities- I’ll look forward to seeing how you’ll explore runes this week! Good luck and have fun, Amaris!
@jill5 Ohhhh look at that gorgeous spell bottle- is your wax stamped with a pentagram? 
That is so pretty Great work and I hope you continue to enjoy the benefits and blessing of Fehu in your practice! 
@Jeannie1 So many fun choices when it comes to runes- I’m sure you’ll find the perfect way to draw on them this week, Jeannie! 
It looks like you’ve already got some great rune resources on hand- good luck and have fun!

@Garnet I love those sets! I had never realized that they were still used, I had read about them but never thought to go looking into them & they are very pretty 
@Artemisia similar findings have been found off of Martha’s Vineyard & in Elder Futhark the stone says:
Leif Erikson here:…" then the year… I can’t remember the year though 
They are in runic script of the Elder Futhark though. Looking at the image you shared, those are definitely runic script… as far as Elder or Younger Futhark… I’m not that well versed in Younger Futhark but I recognize those from the Elder Futhark 
Great find & information!
@jessica72 I have missed you & was just thinking about you! I love that you got Amethyst runes! I have Blue Agate ones & Black Tourmaline. Then I have a set of wooden ones & so does my oldest son. Although, I don’t know if he has used them Now I have a mission before he leaves for work. 
@jill5 that is great that you are incorporating Fehu in your spellwork & that it is so empowering for you! I’m happy that they work with your practice so well!
@Jeannie1 yay for finding books to help you with learning about runes! & yes! Bindrunes are actually a lot of fun to put together for your intention or your work with them. It’s kind of like coming up with a sigil in a way too! I had made a couple when I was researching them for the posts on runes.
Personally, I found the images of witches runes I have, but I am still on a hunt for their meanings… they are somewhere in this laptop under the BOS file that I have… probably in a subfolder that I thought at the time, there’s no way I’ll forget where they are… well as with all safe places… I have no idea

Oh my, this is sooo intriguing to me. Can you tell me where this is located?? I would love to make a roadtrip to see this. I have always loved historical sites and this one would definitely be on my visit list.

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!

With love and magick

@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!

Yes there is a segment on how to find this and that’s how I learned. Then I dove in learning about the meaning behind them.

@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!
