What are runes?

Runes are more than ancient letters — they are symbols of energy, mystery, and intention.

The most well-known set, the Elder Futhark, is a 24-character runic alphabet used by Germanic and Norse peoples over a thousand years ago.
Each rune carried not just a sound, but a spiritual essence — a living vibration tied to nature, magic, and daily life.

Historically, runes were carved into wood, bone, and stone for writing, but also for protection, blessings, and guidance. In modern spiritual practice, runes are often used for:

• Divination: Casting or drawing runes to receive messages from spirit

• Talisman Work: Wearing or carrying a rune for its specific energy

• Magical Inscriptions: Adding runes to tools, candles, doors, or altar cloths for focused intention

Working with runes is not about fortune-telling — it’s about reading the energetic flow around you and choosing how to move with it.

Think of runes as keys — each one opens a different door in the subconscious, the spirit world, and the forces of nature.
