How Do Runes Work?<\/h2>\n
Runes do not tell the future and they will not give you an exact answer. Their power lies in providing guidance on issues and questions you have and helping you make informed decisions. This is where psychic abilities come in handy. If you need further interpretation or deeper instruction, it is always helpful to get clarity from someone with strong, intuitive abilities. A psychic who uses runes in a reading<\/a> can utilize their connection to Spirit to read the messages offered by the runes more deeply, offering further insight into any situation you may be asking the runes about.<\/p>\n Related: The Meaning of Yes or No Tarot Cards<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n While you can easily get a reading from a\u00a0Rune Psychic\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>or even buy a set of runes to help learn divination with, many experts agree that you will form a greater bond with your rune set if you make your own instead. Wood, clay, or stone are the easiest to work with to create the runes themselves, and the symbols can be etched, carved, painted, or even burned on. At the end of the project, you should have 24 runes (or 25 if you include a blank one that is sometimes recommended) that can fit into the palm of your hand for when you\u2019re ready to cast.

Runes are an ancient form of divination, using ancient Germanic and Anglo-Saxon alphabets printed on small tokens that allow the user to ask questions and find answers to problems they may be struggling with. Runes have been in use as far back as the 3rd century, probably longer. They can be made out of wood, clay, stone, crystal, glass, or metal, and are usually inscribed with the Elder Futhark, a Germanic alphabet made up of 24 characters. Each character of the Elder Futhark symbolizes something, which is what makes the runes such a powerful divination tool. When the runes are cast, the meaning of each one will provide needed guidance.

Watch the video below to learn how to make your own runes: How to Use Runes Once you\u2019ve made the runes, you\u2019re ready to cast them with a few simple steps: First, consecrate or cleanse your runes if this is your first time using them or you feel like you want to clear any negative or stagnant energy around them. To do this, light sage, palo santo, rosemary, incense, or any other form of smudge stick and pass the bag of runes through the smoke. Place all the runes in a bag. Clear your thoughts and only focus on the specific question you want help with. Hold the bag with your non-dominate hand. Either cast all of the runes from the bag onto a plain, soft cloth and choose the rune that jumps out at you as you meditate on your question, or pull one rune from the bag with your dominant hand. This rune represents both your attitude toward the question, and the outcome. Related: How to Use Tarot Cards Meanings of the Runes FEHU:\u00a0A sign of abundance and a hope for better things.
