Rune Studying

This blog is dedicated to the runes, specifically for divination, but also other aspects of them. It will hopefully be a collection so people searching for information on them can find as much as possible in one place, without having to look too far.

Handmade Rune Sets

moonthrall:

The process behind the sets I offer.

wingsofadragon: Runes are an oracle from which one seeks advice. They work best if you detail your current circumstances and then ask a specific question. Rune readings are sometimes obscure. They hint toward answers, but you have to figure out the details.  Runic divination or “rune casting” is not “fortunetelling” in the sense that one actually sees the future. Instead, runes give one a means of analyzing the path that one is on and a likely outcome. The future is not fixed. It changes with everything one does. If one does not like the prediction, one can always change paths.

wingsofadragon: Odin, the Norse High God of the Aesir, hung from the world tree, Yggdrasil, impaled on his own spear, for nine days and nights in order to gain the knowledge of runes. When the runes appeared below him, he reached down and took them up, and the runic knowledge gave him power . He later passed on this knowledge to the Vanir goddess Freya. She, in turn, taught him the magic of seidr. Heimdall, the god who guarded the Rainbow Bridge, taught the runes to mankind.

I’m a cam whore.

Can you read my shirt? :D

fraterbaldur: My dad is a rune magician and he’s going through a tough divorce.  He painted this on the front door of our house in Titusville the other day.  It says “Don’t fuck with us” in Runez

My favorite Rune

wiccanpath:

Laguz - The Water Rune

Alternative Names
Anglo-Friesian/Germanic: Laguz
Norse (Viking): Logr, Laukaz
Old English: Lagu
Other Names/Spellings: Laaz, Lagur, Lagus, Laukar, Laukr, Logur

Laguz means water, a vital part of life, but a constant danger, just as our journey through life encounters risks. Laguz contains elements of fluidity, changeability, and a lack of control. It represents the sensual madness of sexuality, the unconscious, intuitive, and psychic abilities. It’s deceptive elements come from its variety, rather than from any menace. Traditionally, Laguz is the ultimate female rune.

I actually use to draw this symbol all over my notebooks for no reason… I didn’t know it actually meant something. :) 

So my rune pendant finally came.

mschievous:

I’ll take some pictures later when the light is better. So, I have a story to write for a final project for class. It’s due on Wednesday. I have some ideas but I haven’t started the writing process yet. Most of the ideas are jotted down on paper because that’s the only way I can write these days. It always bugs me when I’m worrying about writing a story or a project because so much depends on being able to get the right inspiration. It’s never failed me yet but it still makes me anxious until it’s done. I was up in my room, exhausted and under slept and fretting about this project but I knew I couldn’t work on it until I took a nap so I lay down and got cozy under the covers. I had my rune bag with me because I’m a nerd and sometimes I sleep with it under my pillow. I was wearing my new pendant at the time. I started to play with the runes in the bag and pulled one. Othala. That was the first rune on the stave. This connects to a deep lesson I’ve been dealing with as of late. I was amused and took it as a sign Odin was there. So I pulled another rune. Algiz.

I thought to myself as I reached in to pull out a third, if this one ends up being Uruz…

And so it was. 

Pulled in the order they’re written on the rune stave pendant. 

So he was there with me. I silently told him of my plight with my story and asked what I should do. I pulled Ingwaz, Laguz and Mannaz. Yeah…I get it.

As I slept, strings of sentences began to form, ideas, insights and inspiration and when I awoke, the writers block was gone.
