Unlock the wisdom of the ancient runes to access your psychic powers

ancient runes

ancient runesOccult wisdom or hidden wisdom is frequently ignored as being a silly voodoo. Nevertheless, there are many things we can learn from the hidden arts that are likely to improve our everyday lives exponentially.

It is however sad that what several individuals comprehend of the new age merely lies with crystals and astrology.  Although nothing’s wrong with such concepts, there are lessons we can come out with through the occult.  One of those is rune making.  There is a similarity between runes and tarot cards since they can both be used for fortune-telling or divination.

Several individuals use the runes for spiritual and intuitive guidance, and for one to get better results, they can pair these runes with other forms of divination such as pendulum or tea leaves. There are other types of runes but, the Futhark is the most prevalent.

The Futhark runes originate from the letters of the early Germanic alphabets. The Latin alphabet was adopted in the early centuries AD, that’s when several Northern European countries stopped using the runic alphabets. These modern rune sets comprise of the 24 letters of the Futhark and one blank tile which is known as the Wyrd or Odin.

The tiles are picked or spread out from their pouch unto a surface for one to read the runes. The reader then translates their meaning based on their placement in the spread, just the same as a tarot reading. Both tarot readings and rune readings have a similarity, they both use several spreads depending on the situation.

Although there are other variations, the Futhark runes are the most well-known amongst the new age community. I love the witch runes because they showcase several symbols that are easy to remember. Several individuals discover that they are a good beginner’s point with only thirteen symbols to memorize.

Communicating with Loved Ones Who Have Passed

Communicating with Loved Ones Who Have Passed

Communicating with Loved Ones Who Have PassedMany people seek mediums to reconnect and communicate directly with the spirits of their loved ones who have passed. But connecting with those in the spiritual realm isn’t limited just to professional mediums.

Anyone can learn how to reunite and communicate with loved ones who have passed without any third-party assistance. You can reconnect with your parent, spouse, sibling, child, or even your pet at any time.

Since it’s a learned skill, it’s possible for you to do, as long as you have the necessary information, knowledge, and tools available to you. Everybody can do it. Some are lucky enough to do it professionally. Others have a specific calling to it. But with guidance, the proper tools, and lots of practice, it’s something that everybody can learn to do on some level.

Communication with the spiritual realm can occur at any time, so it doesn’t matter how long ago or how recently the person or pet with whom you want to connect passed away. In fact, you may have already received some signs.

Identifying how spirits communicate with you can give you a better idea of how your loved ones’ messages will come through to you.

Here are seven steps to reconnect with the spirit of your loved one:

  1. Open up to the possibility.

The first step to make a connection is to overcome your limiting beliefs and open all five of your senses to allow communication with the spiritual realm.

  1. Learn the various ways spirits communicate.

There’s a wide array of methods your loved one can use to contact you. Discerning which sign your loved one is using will take some work. Start your connection process by identifying which communication method your beloved will likely use. This will help know what to watch for when communication begins.

Spirits most commonly communicate with us in the physical realm through words and messages, acts of service, gifts, and quality time. Chances are that when your beloved person or pet was alive, they preferred one of these methods of communicating their love to you over the rest. This also is likely the method they’ll choose to connect with you now in spirit after their death.

  1. Know when a visit may occur.

Spirits will most commonly visit you when you’re alone, when you’re asleep and dreaming, before or during a memorable event, or during or after a stressful moment. Paying special attention to any signs you sense during such times makes it far more likely you’ll become aware of their presence and make a connection.

After you know when their spirit is likely to be present and the signs they’ll use to make their presence known, the next step is to breathe deeply, ground yourself, and ask if they have a message for you.

  1. Sense their presence.

Next time you see signs that your loved one’s spirit is present, or images of them appear unbidden in your mind’s eye, pause a moment and focus on what you’re feeling. Are you happy? Do you feel loved? Are you sad?

Sensing the energy presence of your loved one is a signal that you should ask if they have a message to share with you. People often sense the presence of their loved ones without realizing it. Observations like “Dad would’ve loved this party” are significant signs that they’re present in spirit.

Once you’re familiar with the signs to watch for and when spirits usually communicate, you’ve well on your way to linking up with the spirit of your loved one.

  1. Identify specific signs from your loved one.

Each spirit has a sign they use as a greeting. This serves to get your attention and inform you that they’re present to communicate with. The most common greeting signs are bodily sensations, flashes of light, misplacing items, finding items, and specific images or memories appearing in your mind’s eye.

To identify an occurrence as a sign from your loved one, you must know exactly what you’re looking for. To do this, understand the most likely communication methods available to your loved one. Then, ask your loved one for a specific sign to prove to you that they’re connecting with you.

  1. Accept the communication.

If you’re in a relaxed frame of mind when you sense their presence or notice signs they’re around, ask if they have any messages for you.

Your loved one isn’t in the physical realm anymore, so the voice they use to communicate with you now will likely differ from the voice they had when they were alive.

If you’re comfortable, you can even attempt to have a two-way conversation with them. Communicating with the deceased can help them process their loss, too.

  1. Seek confirmation.

If you’re not sure a message is reliable, you can request that your loved one sends the message to you again in a different way.

Dream Visits

Grief, a distracted mind, and all of the changes that occur after a death are just a few of the challenges of getting a clear message to you while you’re awake. If conscious connections are challenging, the spirit of your loved one may find it easier to visit you in your dreams.

Even during sleep, we remain aware, open, and receptive, so we often remember entire scenes that come through, making dreams the perfect opportunity to receive complete messages. So, if you aren’t making connections while you’re awake, consider dream communication.

To open yourself up to this technique, address your loved one by saying you’d like them to visit you in a dream. Dream messages usually don’t begin until at least six to eight weeks after a death. If it hasn’t quite been that long, just give it a little more time.

Why use rune stones when asking about romance?

Why use rune stones when asking about romance?

Why use rune stones when asking about romance?Rune stones are not a go-to oracle when it comes to matters of the heart for most because they are blunt in their messages and tend to reflect harshness. However, the use of runes for love life guidance can bring you to the reality of a situation quickly, but be sure you want to know the answer. Rune readings will be straightforward with little room for guesswork.

Why use rune stones when asking about romance?

  • Concise and to the point
  • Straight to the heart of the matter
  • Little conjecture room
  • Lots of information, quickly

Runes are considered tools and come in either stone or card form with similar usages. Each has a Germanic origin symbol leaving them shrouded in mystery. It is uncertain who started the use of runes which adds to the appeal as a divination method.

There are multiple types of rune stones, but the most popular is likely the 24 stone set called Elder Futhark. Each symbol has a unique meaning and each rune is significant on its own. Layouts or spreads can be used for involved readings.

Rune Meanings

Many reference materials exist to learn about runes which means that is can take a lifetime to master the runes. A possible interpretation is shared below in relation to matters of the heart. Take note, if a rune appears upside down, it is ill-dignified and is being challenged in some manner. It is best to draw another rune for clarity.

Fehu

When Fehu is upright it is a good omen for love. Indicating growth and newness or even moving from the friend zone to romance, Fehu is typically good. However, upside down means things are not what they seem.

Uruz

Uruz offers a masculine energy with vitality to make dreams come true. Since changes are usually positive, this is a good sign about love. If upside down, something is not as it seems as far as integrity.

Thurisaz

Indicating synchronicity and balance, this shows both of you are on the same page in love. If upside down, someone is being pushy and restraint is needed.

Ansuz

This is Odin’s rune and means ‘mouth’. He was an important person in Norse tradition who stands for a good omen with communication. When inverted, you are not listening or the wrong person is being listened to at this time.

Raido

Usually indicative of positive changes, this has to do with travel which may be a physical journey or a progressing relationship. If inverted it means things are stuck and will remain so until changes are initiated.

Kenaz

This feminine rune means responsibility with the ability to change what is  not liked about life or a relationship. When upside down, something has come to an end and should not be rekindled.

Gebo

Gebo stands for a gift which could be the gift of romance. Even if appearing upside down, it is positive and a sign that everything is as it should be in a relationship.

Wunjo

Wunjo is associated with Venus to represent joy and happiness. It may be a wish coming true which is good in the realm of love. If inverted, this rune means something is off and a mindset needs changed to get back on track.

Hagalaz

This is a bad sign for love because it stands for destruction that is beyond your control. It is the same inverted or upright, something is very wrong.

Navdiz

Not a great sign for love, Navdiz is about self-sufficiency and could be advising you to be alone to get yourself together. When upside down, it means you should not compromise for anyone.

Isa

Take control of yourself with this rune. It is neither good or bad but relationships should be viewed objectively when this rune shows up.

Jera

Indicative of hard work that could pay off, this rune indicates you may have found your twin flame, life mate, or soul mate. Patience is the key with this rune. It is the same both directions.

Eihwaz

If Eihwaz appears, you need to look at your motives and how you really feel. If a relationship is not working for you, then look for the real reason why.

Pertho

If Pertho appears, there are secrets around, while this could be a good secret, like an enegagement, it could also mean something negative. However, Pertho is normally associated with a life force, fertility and childbirth. When inverted, it is a warning against unnecessary risks in life.

Algiz

This protective, watchful rune is a good one to share with a love one or wear. In love it is telling you to only take calculated risks, but if upside down it can mean you are stressed and too emotional to take wise counsel.

Sowilo

No matter the direction, Sowilo brings hope and light, representing the sun. Better times are ahead in love.

Teiwaz

Tiewaz brings logic and sensibility so do not let your emotions take control. Your situation will likely improve, but if inverted, you have too much doubt to get what you want.

Berkanan

This is the fertility rune which could mean conception, but can also indicate a newness. This is usually positive.

Ehwaz

Right side up Ehwaz is a good omen of cooperation and teamwork, but upside down mean someone is being stubborn and harmony is not yet found.

Mannaz

Mannaz advises you to pause and see life as it really is, being objective. If change is needed, do it. If upside down, take a break and be alone.

Laguz

If Laguz appears, pay attention to intuition, dreams, and hunches. You are intuitive and need to realize what is happening behind the scenes. When upside down, you are not seeing things as they are in life.

Ingwaz

An optimistic and positive rune if you are really paying attention, Ingwaz means things are growing. Learn from personal mistakes.

Dagaz

This is an awakening rune toward your full potential. It is indicative of revelation and change. If you are with a partner, you will evolve together.

Othala

This rune of personal growth is applied to romance when looking for inspiration. You may be a good influence on your partner unless this is inverted, then the relationship is out of balance.

Spreads

The easiest way to use runes is to ask a question, pull out a rune, and the answer is clear. This is a single stone reading. However, each method has its own nuances. One spread asks for guidance and then pulls out ten stones, placing them in a heart patterns to mirror what is happening. Start at the bottom of the heart and place them on the left up, around and the final in the middle. Position descriptions and meanings are below.

  • Position 1: Current situation
  • Position 2: This is how you see yourself
  • Position 3: This is how you see your partner
  • Position 4: This is what is working
  • Position 5: This is the challenge
  • Position 6: This is what you want
  • Position 7: This is what you fear
  • Position 8: This is your responsibility
  • Position 9: This is the other person’s responsibility
  • Position 10: Outcome potential

Conclusion

Using runes for love life guidance takes practice, but once you understand, it is quite simple. The runes are blunt and provide only bare bones meanings and answers. The message will be clear and concise, but once the language is learned, you will want to use them repeatedly.

The Spiritual Tool That’s Hiding In Your Pantry

The Spiritual Tool That's Hiding In Your Pantry

The Spiritual Tool That's Hiding In Your PantryIf you’re new to cleansing or protective rituals, one of the first things you’ll be told to try isn’t a special crystal or any sort of spell candle, it’ll be salt — yes, the same salt that you sprinkle on your dinner. When your aim is something as mystical as guarding your home against negativity (or ghosts), normal salt might not seem powerful enough, although as a spiritual tool, salt keeps many of its important uses: Its nature of being an all-purpose substance that is easy to use enhances the overall effect of a ritual. It’s no wonder therefore, that salt’s spiritual properties partly have their roots in food. Barbara Moore, an author of Modern Guide to Energy Clearing says that Salt has been overly association with cleanliness, protection, and purity probably because its mundane uses include purifying and preserving food. She explains that salt’s color (white) connects it to purity, and its ability to maintain food’s freshness gives it protective properties. “Magical or symbolic uses of an item often reflect the characteristics of that item’s everyday uses,” Moore adds.

To that end, the spiritual uses for salt are just about as wide and ranging as its everyday or “mundane” uses, as Moore calls them. If you’re not sure how to start using salt as a spiritual tool, Moore suggests that you start with focusing on its protective powers. To maintain a sense of safety while on a journey, she’d fill a small bag with salt and other protective items like runes, and then stow it away in her purse, luggage, or glove compartment. According to her, one can also do something as simple as keeping a bowl of salt in each room of one’s home. Moore says doing so will help to balance and stabilize the energy throughout the house.

However, if you choose to use salt, Moore recommends doing a little prep work first, to ensure that the salt works to achieve the end result you desire. Put the salt you want to use on a table, bookshelf, windowsill, or on an altar if you have one. Then reflect your plans for it. “I invite the spirit of the salt to work with me to protect my home” (or whatever your intention is) and leave it overnight, Moore says. By the next morning, the salt’s energy ought to be ready, and you can use it as you wish.

For what it’s worth, Moore says that just having salt in your pantry, without charging it to a specific goal, will have some effect on the overall energy of your home, but won’t make as much of a difference.

So, the next time you move into a new house and want to neutralize the space, all you need to do is grab your salt shaker and get down to business. The same goes for keeping you and your belongings safe while traveling and staying calm ahead of a stressful meeting or conversation. Salt’s soothing energy is as versatile as it gets, so it’ll never hurt to have it around. And, if nothing else, you’ll never have an unseasoned meal.

What are runes?

What are runes?

What are runes?Runes are amazing old symbols that can be used for the purposes of magic and divine. They were used in the past for Germanic languages. Quite a number of distinct runes were developed but were later replaced by the Latin alphabet that is still being used for writing up to date. I really fancy their historical background and I think they are a great inspiration to us.

History says that runes were holy gifts to mortals and Norse God Odin was the first one to have it after wounding himself with a spear then hanging himself from Yggdrasil, the World Tree for one week two days.

The word rune means ‘secret’. And quite a number of pieces of evidence from iron age of the Romans and Germans suggests that they were used for magical purposes. They usually appear on amulets and people think they were carved to act as charms. There is a warning of the 6th century from the master or runes warning that there are powerful runes that have been hidden in the monument and will bring death to anyone who tries to damage it.

Runes were only used by a few people and only became popular in the ’80s. shops were filled with books, cards and rune set revealing how they could be used for magical and divinatory purposes. Quite a number of people use runes for inspiration while beginning their psychic path.

These runes work like the I-Ching when used for divine purposes, in that, they are stored in a bag then drawn one by one, cast them on a flat surface then read them one by one.

Healing power of runes

Healing power of runes

Healing power of runesUsing runes as source of healing is not as well known as other natural tools, but it can be very effective.  Runes have terrific therapeutic value. This is due to their ancient grounded energies.  This, combined with their balancing vibrations can not only heal us, but teach us lessons as well.

Illness is the our bodies have of warning us that we are working against our own harmony and that we are out of balance. When they body is out of balance, we can use the runes to put us back on track. Runes can help us learn the lessons that our bodies are trying to teach us.

When using the runes to heal, we should ask the universe to guide us to a healing rune. When this rune is selected it will become Odin’s rune. The next step is to meditate to understand the meaning and message. The best way to do this, is to find a quiet space to focus on the healing.  If you can, lie still with the rune near or on the place where you need healing.  Focus on what the rune has to teach you.  Next, feel the vibrations and essence of the stone into your being.  Let your intuition tell you how long your need to stay in place.

You may want to carry the rune with you to help the healing begin. This will help you to unlock the power within you.  Different runes will give you different power.  The Laguz rune, for example will help you with emotional issues as it guides to you to finding the harmony within you.

Once you have selected a rune, you will see how the message it is giving you is coming to your aid.  It will lead you to the right treatment as it reveals the cause of you illness.

Listen to the runes and learning the lessons will help you change your life with empowerment.

A Personal Interpretation of Rune Casting

A Personal Interpretation of Rune Casting

A Personal Interpretation of Rune CastingRune casting is a very personal thing and definitely, if you would like to cast for other individuals, you need to be successful and a procedure that does not involve running around naked. How you would like to cast is up to you, there are many examples of how to cast it in websites and books. Discovering your own procedure is however the best way. The way the casting is done is not essential but the procedure used is as long as it’s simple and does not transform too much.

Once you’ve decided on that, your procedure is not stone set and no foot will stamp on it if you decide not to follow it every time.

Choose a set of runes, wood, beach stones or card, metal, semi-precious stones. Do not be near plastic ones but look for ones where you can hold all the runes in your hands at once. The set I used mostly was a gift from a friend. He made them out of copper with a bronze inlay himself. I began with clay set which came with an instructional book. You might need to make your own set at the beginning.

Secondly, you need something to keep them in. runes tend to get lost if they are not kept lose and a coat pocket is not very good. Some authors recommend a bag made from natural materials such as wood, leather or cotton. I always have a leather made bag for my set. If you are not happy using leather you can use other kinds of materials. The bag is yours, therefore, make it big enough so that it can be able to hold the runes firmly. It shouldn’t, however, be very big. Other individuals prefer casting runes by drawing them out of their containers therefore if you would cast them this way then the bag should be big enough so that it doesn’t hold your hand.

Thirdly, you need to cast them on something. And a piece of cloth is mostly preferred. Do not use bright colors as this distract your focus. If you would like cast by drawing them from a bag then the piece of cloth is not necessary although it’s useful when you want to keep your runes together. Any kind of material will do, me I use a silk handkerchief.

Runes names are very essential to some clients although they aren’t to me. You might find them very important and find it hard to do without them. My method is however very distinctive.  You can begin your own procedure by discovering one that you love the sound off and start practicing it until you become used to it.

Another challenging subject is lending your runes. I have never experienced it so I can’t tell my reaction. I am also not paying attention to the idea. There are authors who are ready to lend as they see runes as tools that anybody can use. Mine is however very personal and anyone who knows me knows that I cannot lend them but they can look and touch.

Communicating telepathically

Communicating telepathically

Communicating telepathicallySometimes in our lives we feel the need to know someone a bit better than you do. You have  a pull towards this person and it goes deeper than what can be said in a real conversation.  What this is could be the urge to have a telepathic connection with someone.

The idea of telepathy has entranced humankind for centuries.  There are stories and legends galore about beings with the power of telepathy.  Ancient and indigenous cultures report of people who can “read minds” and communicate telepathically.

This ability appeals to us on a deeper level. This is why it is important to know exactly what this ability is.

Telepathy

Telepaths transmit information through thoughts and feelings.  Psychics communicate with spirits.   Telepathy comes from the great meaning “far away feeling”.  This makes sense when you know what telepathy is.  It is a way to transmit thought and feelings from a long distance.

Almost all of us have had an experience of telepathy.   It can be a simple as waking and feeling that we need to reach out to someone or suddenly think about someone only to have them call moments later. Having experienced this, we know that there is the capacity for telepathic communication.

Cold Reading is not telepathy

Telepathy is often confused with cold reading. Cold reading is a means of gathering information by observing body language and other exterior details.  It is used as a means of tricking people, not understanding them.  Someone who is especially skilled at cold reading can give the impression of communicating telepathically.  This is not a true means of deep connection.

Developing telepathy

One of the most important factors of telepathic communication is energetic coupling.  When two people are close either through love or friendship, there are shared interests.   This common ground makes it very easy to develop the kind of shared energy that telepathy requires.

You can practice this by  transmitting the other participant in a series of simple questions, such as favorite colors, favorite foods, etc.  Try to read their thoughts before they speak.  You may want to focus on the feeling you get before they speak.  Once you establish this bond it can stay strong for days and months even though you may be separated by miles and distance.

Stretching and relaxing

Telepathy can also help in the focusing and relaxing of the mind.   Yoga is an excellent way to prepare for telepathy because it is spiritual and low in intensity.

For telepathy to work, each person should be relaxed. Meditating with the eyes closed is a good way to start.  Focus should be given to the clear thoughts that come into the mind.  This is a way to center on the impressions that are being sent.

Sending and receiving 

Both parties involved should designate who is sending and who is receiving in this type of communication.   This sets clear boundaries to avoid confusion.  To start with, the partners should be facing each other with eyes closed.  The sender should visualize the receiver, picturing them clearly in detail.  At this point, the sender should form a very clear picture of the message to be sent before sending it.  They should also picture the energy connecting the two. Overall, the sender should completely believe in their own power.  When the message and the connection are clear in the mind, the sender should push the image towards the receiver.

The receiver should also concentrate on the message being sent. When they receive the message they should write it down in as much detail as possible.  Then the two should compare messages.

Telepathy uses intuition and brain power to communicate. This involves practice and focus. Do not be disappointed if you can’t do this right away.. You may have to practice several times and build up endurance to communicate successfully.

It is important to choose the right partner; someone you can trust.  It is equally important to believe in your ability to do this.  You should also be patient. You should know who will send and who will receive in your communication.  You should select a message and prepare in advance.

Once you have created a successful telepathic connection, you can test it by spending time apart from your partner  to see if you can successfully reconnect.

How to Ask Runes for Guidance?

How to ask Runes for guidance?

Runic Alphabet, also known as futhark,  are used by Germanic peoples for ages as a tool of divination or a way to predict the future. Rune Stones or cards contain 24 runes, divided into three groups of eight. Runes were traditionally carved onto different materials such as stone, wood, bone, metal or glass and usually kept in a pouch or box. Ruins usually come with a book of instructions defining the symbols.

The word ‘rune’ means mystery, whisper or secret and runes are used in divination and charms. They are used to help gain insight into situations or questions.

Each rune symbol is not only a letter of the alphabet, but they also have symbolic meanings.

Runes of the Elder Futhark:

  • Fehu, F, means wealth: self-love, improved income, happiness, wealth and success. Reversed: Disappointment, loss, and frustration.
  • Uruz, U, means wild or falling rain: Strength, love, health, change for the better. Reversed: Lack of power and motivation.
  • Thurisaz, T, means giant: Door opening and truth-telling. Reversed: unfavourable news or a sense of feeling vulnerable.
  • Hagalaz, H, means hail: Nature at its worst. Destruction and damage. Cannot be reversed.
  • Ansuz, A, means an ancestral god: new beginnings and communications, messengers, signals, and gifts. Reversed: Deceit by those you trust.
  • Raidho, R, means ride or journey: journeys and travel. Reversed: indicative of delays and possibly difficult journeys.
  • Kenaz, K, means a beacon or torch: a warning of danger to health. Reversed: Depression, anxiety, loss of someone close to you.

Single Stone Reading

This reading requires just a single rune stone. Here’s what you should do:

  • Place all rune stones in a bag
  • Clear your mind and focus on the questions you want to ask.
  • Hold the bag in your receptive hand and mix up the stones with the fingers of your receptive hand
  • Ask the question and take a rune stone from the bag.
  • The symbol written on the stone should answer your question.
  • If you require further clarification, grab another stone from the bag and read the symbol on it.
  • If you find that you still need more clarification, it might be the time to place the stone back in the bag and reshuffle the stones and rephrase your question.

Four Stone Reading

This reading is the more complicated one and is better left to those who have rune stones’ advanced knowledge. This reading requires you to read a combination of four rune stones. Here’s what should be done:

  • Clear your mind and focus on the questions you seek answers to.
  • Hold the bag of rune stones in your receptive hand and mix up the stones in the bag with the fingers of your receptive hand,.
  • Ask your question.
  • Grab four stones from the bag, one at a time.
  • Read the letter on each stone and place them in front of you.
  • The first stone indicates the past.
  • The second stone indicates the present.
  • The third stone indicates the future.
  • The fourth stone indicates the behaviors and energies.

A lot of people believe that the selections made within the runes stones are not random at all, they are the choices made by our subconscious. And some believe that the rune stones selected hold the answers provided by the Divine to affirm what we have long known in our hearts and refused to admit it.

Runes are a type of ancient alphabet system whose creation has been attributed to the Celtics, Germans and Scandinavians. Their use dates back as far as 98 AD. Runes were carved into wood, bone or stone traditionally. Then they were stored in a cloth pouch that was considered sacred, and not to be touched by just anyone.

The word “rune” is roughly translated to mean “whisper” or “holy secret”. This is because each rune is assigned a special meaning, which can lend intuitive guidance to their readers, much like tarot cards do. There were a total of 24 runes, which is similar to our own English alphabet. They all have not only an alphabetical value, but an astrological value, and were linked to the eight directions and different cycles in nature.

Traditionally there were two ways to read runes. The first was that a person could manually pick out runes, much like readings performed with tarot cards. The second format was for the psychic to read the runes when they fell out of the bag. In this way, they could read the runes, regardless of if there was another person around to give a reading to. Just like there are different “spreads” or ways to arrange tarot for readings, there were multiple different spreads for runes, as well.

Your Rune Reading

This is, by no means, a traditional form of rune reading, but it is fun to try. This will also teach you about the meanings of the runes and practice with them. To start, think of a problem that you’re struggling with, or a question you have. Once you have your question, focus on it. Then look at the runes below and pick the one that stands out to you.

Rune Meanings:

FEHU: The symbology behind this rune is wealth and finances. So, it means you need to pay attention to your finances or focus on them. It could be that you’re going to come across some money, or that you’re about to make a career or job change.

Uruz: This rune represents power, strength and fertility. It often means that you’ll need the power and strength to take back control out of your life. It’s a good sign if you’re trying to start or grow your family. It’s also a helpful sign if you’re looking to start a new project, or relationship.

Thursiaz: The meaning behind this rune is struggle and hardship. You’re unfortunately going to go through a bit of a rough patch. It can also mean that you need to meditate or do some soul searching in order to grow and move on.

Ansuz: This rune represents “Divine breathe”. Your intuitive powers are likely very strong right now. The rune could indicate that you’re undergoing a spiritual awakening. Sometimes it also means that you’ll take on the role of a healer, or that you’ll consult a shaman.

Raidho: This rune represents journeys or cycles. This could mean that you’re currently going through a cycle in your life that is quite important. Or, you could be about to embark on a trip, which will likely bring you some sort of enlightenment. This rune also offers protection and good luck while you’re on your trip.

Kaunaz: The words associated with this rune are creativity, wisdom and inspiration. If you have a problem in your life right now, you have the necessary traits to solve it creatively. It does, however, indicate that you may need to take a step back and look at the problem a different way. You may also need to break a habit or let go of the past to solve it. So, keep an open mind.

Gebo: This rune indicates a gift. Some unexpected good luck or fortune will come your way. This rune is considered to be a good omen, especially for romance, fertility and relationships.
