Doing a 3-Rune Reading

When you want to be more spiritual and find a tool that can help you tell the future or increase things in your life, using runes might be your thing. Runes are letters that are from the runic alphabet, and they were used to communicate with others. This kind of divination has been around for centuries and was part of the Germanic tradition.

Runes have been used for divination for centuries because they are powerful and the alphabets can help to give you guidance in areas of your life such as your relationships, jobs, travel, love and so much more.

Understanding Runes

Runes are 24 letters that have a sound and a symbol. They have pronunciation that has a spiritual meaning, and they are considered to be magical. Runes have been around for years, and they are often used to contact people that have died like talismans and to get guidance for life.

Runes can be carved into different materials such as bones, shells, wood, stones, or even they can be written down on paper. Sometimes people engrave them on jewelry or on other things and carry them around. Carrying a rune is thought to keep people and their families safe.

You can choose to cast runes as a tool of divination, and you can use them with other tools like oracle cards or tarot cards.

Doing a 3-Rune Reading

It is important that you get familiar with the runes before you ever do a reading. You need to understand how they pertain to the situation that you have. Picking your set of runes is important and you should find a set that you’re connected with. Put them in a cloth or a velvet bag to protect them.

Before you do a reading, take time to meditate and find a place that you won’t be disturbed. You might want to take a few minutes to hold on to the runes in the bag before you start.

Doing a 3-Rune reading means that you will first think of the problem or the question that you want to have clarity with. Put the rune bag in front of you and pull out a rune without looking and put it in front of you. Don’t change the direction of the rune once you pull it. Each rune will have a message that is different depending on the direction it lies.

You can pull out two runs and put them beside the first one you pulled. The first should be on the right, the second in the middle and the third on the left. This means the runes will be in the order of 3, 2, 1.

Rune 1: This is one that means the situation at hand.

Rune 2: This is the one that shows you what challenges you are facing that you might not realize.

Rune 3: This rune shows you the advice or the outcome that could come from the situation that you are facing.

Final Thoughts

Look at your spiritual self and see if rune reading is something that seems important to you. If you feel drawn to this, you can use it to help get answers when times are hard or when you are confused.

Picking the Right Set of Runes

Runes

Do you want to start using different kinds of tools of divination? If so, runes are a fun type to try. Runes can be made from different materials such as bones, wood, crystals and more. Many people are familiar with the Elder Futhark runes and thee can be found at metaphysical shops around the world or even online.

When you use runes, you need to tune into your intuition. This can help you to be able to understand them more and to trust them to guide you.

Should You Make or Buy Your Rune Set?

You can decide either of these things that you want to do, and neither is wrong. Some people will decide to buy runes because it is easier but rather you make them or buy them, you need to find a set that you feel connected to.

Choosing a Rune Set

Picking out a rune set that connects to you is the most important part of choosing a rune set. There are things that you should look for such as making sure that you are picking out runes that are made out of materials that are ethical. The rune sets like the Elder Futhark set has 24 or 25 runes. Some will add a rune that is blank in the set.

Find materials that are going to last. Wood, for example, is strong but it can break easily.

Here are some of the best materials to use:

  • Bone

Bones are often used in making runes because they are strong, but you need to make sure that you aren’t using bones that have been taken unethically but there is nothing wrong with using bones.

Bones are usually shaped about the same size and so they are easy to carve in. Sometimes when runes are made out of bones, they are easy to work with because they are shaped like a rectangle.

  • Wood

Wood is another material that runes are made out of. Wood is something that has been used more in the past because they are easy to shape, and you can burn the letters into the runes. These are normally shaped in a circle or in a rectangle and are normally flat.

Runes that are made out of wood can come in different shapes and stains. You don’t have to worry about getting wood, which is ethical like you have to worry about bones.

  • Crystal

One popular type of runes is crystal runes. You can use almost any kind of crystal, but some will work better than others. You have to be careful that you make a crystal choice based on a crystal that is calling out to you.

Crystal runes should be made out of crystals that are hard enough to throw so that they don’t break when you are casting them. When you choose crystal runes the runes are painted or carved in them and sometimes the crystals are tumbled and don’t always lay flat.

Final Thought

Listen to your intuition when you are choosing what kind of rune set that you want. Runes can be found online, or you can even make your own!

Using Runes for Divination

8
Runes

One of the most popular tools of divination are the runes. You can use your intuition to guide you to use these runes. The runes are part of an ancient alphabet that once was known in Germany and in different tribes around Europe. Runes are also part of Norse mythology, and they are a way to study the German language.

There are different runic alphabets but the most popular is the Elder Futhark and it uses 24 different symbols, and they are divided into groups of 8, three of them. The oldest writing of the runes is around 150 A.D.

What Do The Runes Look Like?

The runes will look similar, and they are used in order to tell the future and for other purposes. The runes will have a single symbol that is etched into the stones. These can be laid out like cards and can answer questions that you have about the past, present and the future.

Kinds of Runes

Runes have three different things connected to them including an action, a phonetic sound, and an esoteric meaning. With these three things, the runes are used to give answers, and this is a tool of divination that is used since Germanic mythology.

What Do the Runes Mean?

The runes use a different language, but it is something that you can learn to read. This will work even better for you if you tune into your intuition. Runes are normally made of glass, stones, wood, bone, ceramic, gemstones, or even regular stones. You can really find runes made of different materials and this doesn’t matter but has to do more with what you prefer. Listen to your intuition as you find runes that you connect with.

Some psychics will make their own runes and they will use their energy to make this happen. It can take years to really become a master of runes and rune stones are there to help people get answers to their problems and questions.

Casting Runes

Rune casting is when you put the stones on a cloth and you face them towards the East and West, where the sun is. The runes will fall a certain way and the ones that are facing up are the ones that are read one way but if they are facing down then they are read another way.

Reading a Rune Daily

Just like in tarot card readings, the runes have a spread. You can do this each day in order to answers questions and get details. You can also do this to practice so that you can understand the runes better.

As you learn to do rune reading, you will get answers to the questions that you have. This works just like any other tool of divination practice. You need to take time to focus on your breathing, meditate and make sure that you are connected to the runes. Let your spirit guides help you with this and then always thank them for helping you.

Put all the runes in a bag and mix them up. Use your dominate hand and then pull one out. This stone should give you an answer to the question that you asked for the day. If you aren’t sure what the rune means or how its answering your question, you can pull another one out of the bag.

If you still don’t have the answer that you need, reshuffle the runes before you try picking another one out of the bag.

Three Rune Spread

This spread is harder than the single rune reading but if you want to have more answers to your question then these runes can help. Since it is three, it represents the past, present and the future. The stone that tells you about the past will tell you about things that happened and things that are related to you including people and events. This can answer your question.

The present will offer a clear path for you and what you are going through right now. The future stone will tell you where your life is leading you.

You can also draw three runes when you have a problem that you need answers to. This can be something that you are facing, and you need a solution to the problem.

As you learn the runes and what they mean, you will see that you can develop a relationship with the stones. These will give you meanings and will help you to understand what is going on in your life. The runes are easy to learn, and they only have one meaning per stone.

Caring for Your Stones

You need to make sure that you are keeping your runes cleansed and safe as you use them for your readings. Cleansing your stones and charging them is important, especially if you are using them every day.

There are different ways that you can cleanse your stones such as putting them in the moonlight for 24 hours, smudging, purifying, or using herbs. Runes can also be washed in natural water sources such as rivers or streams. Don’t ever use tap water to wash your runes but only water sources.

If you need to know more about your future and you aren’t sure about rune reading still, talk to a psychic and get the answers that you need.

Learn How to Read Runes

7
Read Runes

Rune reading is something that has become popular with those that are looking to tell the future. It is a popular tool of divination like the tarot cards and crystal ball reading. But many don’t understand the idea behind reading runes.

When you want to read runes, it is important to know what the runes mean and how they can help you and others.

Understanding Runes

Runes are part of an ancient alphabet, and they were used in the Nordic and Viking cultures in the past.  There are different types of runes but the most popular are the Elder Futhark where each of the stone has a Futhark character and are simple to read.

The runes have been around since 150 A.D., and they have been used to spread wisdom and to help people to understand their lives better. The important thing about this practice is learning to interpret the runes. Someone that is good at interpreting runes doesn’t use the meanings everyone else gives but they come up with their own.

Reading Runes

You need to either make your own runes or you can buy them. Some runes are made out of stones while others are made out of wood or even crystals. You should use your intuition to guide you when you want to pick the right runes for you.

It is important to never buy runes that are made out of animal bones because this would be against the law of nature. Once you have your runes, you need to hold them in your hand and think of a question that you want to ask. Then, reach into the bag and pull out 1, 2 or even 3 runes.

The runes can give you insight on your life and you can ask yes or no questions. Make sure that you set your intentions and that you have your question deep in your mind before you begin. You can lay the runes out to represent things such as your past, present or future.

Each rune will have a different meaning and if you have them face down then you can read them like that and you can choose to do reversed readings or not choose to do reversed. The reversed means that the runes land upside down.

Rune Layouts

There are different kinds of rune layouts and here is a breakdown of the three-rune layout:

  • Rune 1: This means that you have a question or a situation that you need to know something about.
  • Rune 2: This means challenges that you are facing and what you need to avoid.
  • Rune 3: Represents what you are going to do to make your situation better and what you need to let go of.

5 Rune Layout

This layout will have a stone in the middle. It goes rune 2 on the left, rune 3 above the stone that is you stone, rune 4 goes under the you stone and rune 5 goes to the right of the you stone.

The stones will tell a story of the past, which is the stone on the left, the recent past, which is the stone on the bottom, the future ideas, which is the top stone, and the future happenings are the stones on the far right.

This spread will look like an equilateral cross when laid out.

9 Rune Layout

This layout is one that requires more space. The outer part of the runes will mean lesser things and the middle will be more meaningful than the others. This is a life layout, and you can interpret these the way that your intuition tells you.

Single Rune Castings

You can start with one rune at a time, and you can ask your question and then pull one rune out of the bag. What does this mean for you and your situation?

Interpreting Runes

This is the hard part of rune reading. You need to meditate and be serious when you decide to interpret the runes. You can see that the runes will represent things in your life. Drawing one single rune is called the Mannaz. This rune will represent who you are and yourself.

You can’t just ask what will satisfy yourself, but you need to have more than one single word when you ask questions so that you can get real meanings.

Mannaz

This is a word that means self, individual or attitude. This can also mean things such as:

• Friendships.
• Relationships.
• Enemies.
• Divine order.
• Intelligence.
• Creativity.
• Attitudes.
• Enemies.
• Blindness.
• Self-delusion.
• Getting no help.
• Depression.

Understanding the Rune Reading

If you have information that comes to you then you need to be able to read between the lines to interpret it. When the Mannaz comes up, it can mean that you need to focus on what you are doing and get rid of things in your life like addictive behaviors.

If you are doing a classic cast, you can look online and find out what the interpretations are that you find. As you learn the meanings of the stones and you get better, you can do your own interpretations.

Elaborate on what you think that the stones mean and how they affect you. You might not get it right all the time but if you keep practicing then you will get better.

Rune Sigil

This is the way that the runes flow and it can mean:

  • Fehu: Possessions you have.
  • Uruz: Having strength and courage.
  • Thurisaz: A gateway.
  • Ansuz: Picking up signals.

Information on Runes

There are different books and online articles that you can find about runes. Do whatever you feel is right when you are looking to become a rune reader.

Using Runes as Tools of Divination

Using Runes

Rune reading is one of the main tools that psychics use as a tool of divination. The rune tones are from ancient times, and they date back to the 1st century A.D. The runic alphabet has 24 letters, and they are made out of wood or stone for writing and fortune telling.

The alphabet became whole after Elder Futhark made it to have the right amount of letters in the 5th century A.D. and is often used today. It was used often by Nordic tribes and Vikings, and some believe it is based off of Old Latin.

The history of the runes is very exciting and magical, and it has been used in different cultures across the world. Some believe that the runes hold a special power of magic, and they take the idea of runes reading seriously in their lives.

Runes are even used today by psychics and by those that want to connect with their higher being. They help to increase intuition and can be used to tell the future. You can even learn to read runes on your own.

There are 24 letters in the runes, and some have a blank tile that is called an Odin. This is one that is unknown. It is called Odin after the Norse God who gave up his eye so that he could see everything that was happening in the world around him.

The alphabet is split in 3 parts of 8 runes each. They tell a cycle where the first set represents the material plane and the possessions of the world. This can mean things that bring people wealth like cattle did in the older times.

Casting a Rune

Runes normally are cast at 3 at a time or in an odd number. Some will do 5 while others will do 7 or 9. Some even will use 24 runes and lay them out.

There are two main ways to cast runes, some are thrown onto a piece of fabric and the only ones that are counted are the ones that are facing upwards. Or you can hold the pouch that you keep the runes in and use your dominate hand to reach into the bag. Ask a question that you want to be answered and when you pull out the rune, take your answer.

Runes are popular and they are written in wood or stones, mostly. You can purchase your own set of runes, or you can make your own.

Opening Your Root Chakra

Chakras are energy centers in your body and if you know anything about them, you know that they can become blocked. When this happens, you need to look at why your energy system is blocked and fix it.

Any chakra can get blocked or become imbalanced and as this happens, you have to fix it. Your root chakra is one of the seven chakras that are found in the body, and this is part of your energy. The energy on your outside is the aura and then the inside of your body from your spine to your head is where the chakras run.

The root chakra is found at the perineum and goes through the legs and to the feet. This is the first chakra, and it helps you to have energy that keeps you grounded and secure. It is important to make sure that your aura is activated and developed and that it isn’t blocked.

Energy that comes into your body can help you in your mind, body, and soul. The root chakra can help you to feel more confident and help you to know who you are. It can also make you feel secure in life.

People that have blocked root chakras often have a hard time having good self-esteem and they are full of shame, hate and hurt. This can come from different things such as a broken heart or some kind of trauma. When this is balanced and stable, shame can decrease, and self-esteem can build.

You can talk to a reiki master, and you will see that they can help you to balance your chakras. Your root chakra can be healed, and you can do different sessions that will help to make this happen. Talking to a reiki practitioner can improve your chakras in one session or more.

Why Some People Aren’t Satisfied

Why Some People Aren’t Satisfied

Do you feel that the biggest accomplishment in your life is now something that is ordinary? You no longer feel as excited as you used to once you achieve things. Do you wonder why this happens? 

Most people aren’t satisfied with the things that they have or what they do but here are ways that they can be:

Try New Things

The brain loves to try things that are new. When we get something new like a car or a house, clothes or even a new hairdo, our brain gets excited. It wants you to try things that are new and that you have never done before.

Sometimes we want to do things that we love to do over and over again but if you try and set new goals and do new things, you will be more satisfied.

Expectations

If your expectations are too high, it could cause you to not be happy. You have to stop waiting for something good to happen and stop waiting to be perfect. If you are waiting too long to meet your expectations, you will give up or get depressed about it.

Stop setting expectations that are too high and learn to set expectations that you can set and then reach.

Being Thankful

We don’t always appreciate and have thanks for things we have. We want to have more and more but we don’t take time to see what is good in front of us.

We need to learn to be thankful for everything and to appreciate what is ours. We don’t want to wait to see what is valuable after we lose it, but we need to see value now.

Humans Aren’t Made to Be Satisfied

Humans aren’t made to be satisfied because it isn’t in our blood. We were taught to work hard, and we have desires that never end. We always want to have more and more.

We Think There is Something Better

We often think that something is better than what we have. We aren’t satisfied because we want to have something different. Sometimes we feel that someone has more and better things than we have, and we want that.

If we want to feel satisfied, we think that we have to have everything that we want until we can’t want anymore. This is something that is not possible.

Motivation

If someone is completely satisfied, then they will never be motivated to do better. By being unsatisfied with ourselves, we learn to work harder and to work to reach our goals.

When we feel that we have everything we want and need, we will never take action to keep pushing and being better. Everyone needs to have things to strive for.
