Occult rings, such as the Janie Crow ring, have captured the curiosity and fascination of people for centuries. These rings, often associated with secret societies and mystical practices, have a long and mysterious history. The Janie Crow ring, in particular, is believed to possess supernatural powers and is said to grant the wearer protection and insight into the occult world. Different sources suggest that the ring is passed down through generations or acquired through initiation rituals conducted by secret societies. The origin of the Janie Crow ring remains shrouded in mystery, with various legends surrounding its creation. Some stories claim that it was crafted by a powerful sorcerer, while others attribute its creation to divine intervention.
Location: the historical province of Blekinge, Sweden, one of the smallest in the country and standing over 12 feet tall. Björketorp Stone includes menhirs (both solitary and forming stone circles).
Many of the interpretations are taken from the Old English, Norse and Icelandic rune poems short verses written to explain the runes but given that these rune poems are sometimes confusing and contradictory, as well as having been written quite late, and at a time when Christianity had taken over from paganism and runic lore was already largely lost and misunderstood, their use in terms of translation is perhaps rather limited. But a rune of strength, like Daeg or Týr , carried in your pocket as a charm to ward away sickness and disease, will help your subconscious mind to concentrate on the idea of healing itself.
Some stories claim that it was crafted by a powerful sorcerer, while others attribute its creation to divine intervention. Regardless of its origin, the ring is considered a potent symbol of occult knowledge and power. Wearing the Janie Crow ring is said to grant the wearer access to arcane wisdom and mystical experiences.
Rune Meanings And How To Use Rune Stones For Divination
Runes are used as a method of connecting to one’s higher self, inner guidance and tapping into intuition as a method of foretelling what the future may hold and offering advice (similar to Tarot Cards). Read on for our guide to what are the rune meanings and how to use them for yourself!
RUNE SYMBOLS AND MEANINGS
Being such an ancient language, and a practice shrouded in mystery, in times before people were literate, there are sometimes a wide variety of potential meanings attributed to the runes. In general, all the symbols and their meanings are as follows:
FREYR’S AETT:
In Norse mythology, Freyr was the ruler of peace, fertility, rain, and sunshine and the son of the sea God Njörd.
-
Fehu ᚠ- “Cattle/Wealth”
The first of the Elder Futhark, Fehu indicates prosperity and material wealth, either won or earned income. It can represent good luck, abundance and financial success in the near future. It can also relate to social success. Not everyone chooses to read a rune as reversed (“merkstave”) if it comes up that way, but if doing so resonates with you- its reversed meaning may indicate the loss of personal possessions or income, a dip in self-esteem or some other kind of struggles. In Tarot, this could be seen as The Tower card.
HEIMDALL’S AETT:
In Norse mythology, Heimdall was the watchman of the Gods.
9. Hagalaz ᚺ - “Hail”
Hagalaz represents hail. This natural form of disaster which strikes out of the blue and has the power to destroy much needed crops, is similarly indicative of sudden and cataclismic change. Similar to The Tower card in the tarot, Hagalaz represents an unavoidable change that is out of our hands, but how destructive it ends up being is dependant on whether we are capable of weathering its storm with grace. As they say, some storms come to clear our path. The lesson of Hagalaz is to learn from our hardships and grow through our mistakes. It has no inverted meaning.
10. Nauthiz ᚾ - “Needs”
Nauthiz is indicative of our needs. What do you need to feel emotionally stable and fulfilled? Are you taking enough time for yourself to balance work, play and rest? Assessing what are our needs and where we may currently be lacking can help us take better care of our future selves, we can’t pour form an empty cup after all. It can also indicate delays, restriction, and endurance. This is a time to practice patience. Nauthiz reversed can point to depression, poverty, and distress. Similarly, in Tarot we can look to The Hermit for a necessary time to turn inwards.
11. Isa ᛁ - “Ice”
Isa represents ice. It’s symbolic of the Hangman card in the Tarot. It highlights the need to pause, wait, although there may be a feeling of being stuck in ice, sometimes a break is what’s needed to put things into perspective. Waiting until we have gathered all the information, all sides of the story, properly done our research, or simply allowed the Universe to unfold. It can also indicate frustration or psychological blocks. Isa has no inverted meaning.
12. Jera ᛃ - “Harvest”
Jera is representative of the harvest. It indicates that we can now reap what we’ve sown and enjoy our plentiful abundance. If you don’t feel like you have many blessings, it can show that either a breakthrough is on the way, or it’s time to take stock and express gratitude for what you do have (you’ll be surprised by how much you can always list in a graditude journal )! It also represents the life cycle and cyclic nature of Mother Earth. It cannot be reversed.
13. Eihwaz ᛇ - “Yew”
In Norse mythology, the Yew tree, Yggradisil, is representative of The Tree Of Life. As such, it relates to the cycle of life, similar to the Death Tarot card (signifying the dying of an old way of being or period of life, not actual death). It can also represent reliability, dependability, trustworthiness, enlightenment, and a sense of purpose. Reversed, it can mean destruction and confusion.
14. Perthro ᛈ - “Destiny”
This is the gambler’s rune and as such represents the cup of dice, or fortune. It indicates that influences in life may be down to chance, and so can go either well or not. The lesson here is to learn to take the hand you’ve been dealt and make lemonade out of lemons. In Tarot, this is would be similar to the Wheel of Fortune card. It can also represent hidden meanings, secrets, and change. Reversed it can indicate stagnation and loss of faith.
15. Algiz ᛉ - “Elk”
Algiz is the elk, and so represents defence and protection. If you get this one, it means that you have the internal power to manifest your dreams and that your spirit guides are protecting you along your path.

Sowilo is the happy symbol of the sun. It represents a time of joy, abundance, luck, and good fortune. It’s a cause for celebration and can indicate a success of your goals, optimal health and an elemental power. It has no inverted meaning. In Tarot, its card is The Sun.
Tyr, the Norse Sky God, was representative of war and justice.
17. Tiwaz ᛏ - “Victory”
Tiwaz is representative of the warrior’s arrowhead of the God Tyr. It shows that you are capable of spearheading your way through all your troubles and possess great leadership skills, authority and rationality. It can indicate victory and knowing of your true strengths with a willingness to self-sacrifice. Reversed it can indicate blocked creative energies, over-analysis, imbalance, and lack of passion. In Tarot, it can be seen as Justice.

Dagaz represents dawn. It shows the coming of age and the ending of our a cycle. New beginnings are approaching and new breakthroughs, awareness and awakenings are possible. It represents the transformative power of change and that it is a good time to embark upon a fresh enterprise. A final, positive symbol of hope, certainty and security, it has no reversed meaning. This would be the completion of the cycle with the Temperance card in the Tarot.
25. Odin’s Rune (optional)
As mentioned, some sets come with an optional blank rune indicating the Norse God of Creation’s secrets to be withheld. It reflects that we are not supposed to have all the answers and that’s OK.
HOW TO CAST RUNES AND DO A RUNE READING
Using runes is a great way to tap into our intuition, access our inner voice and perform divination. There are many different types of rune layout, starting with a simple 1-rune pull for a yes/no type answer or feel for the day, and three runes casting similar to Tarot spreads (such as past, present future; or situation, action, outcome). Traditionally, runes were cast in multiples of 3, or at the very least odd numbers. There are a few 5-rune layouts that are most commonly used, a couple of 7 and 9-rune layouts that are also often used, and a 24-rune layout that is usually done at the beginning of a year (whether that be your new birth year, winter solstice or actual New Year’s Day), to forecast what the year ahead holds. However, similar to Tarot spreads, there exists a vast multitude of layout options that you can try out!
There are two main ways to cast runes. Traditionally it is said that the runes were thrown (“cast”) onto a special piece of fabric, and while looking up to the heavens you selected your runes to read. A similar version is to throw the runes onto a piece of fabric and to only read the ones that have fallen upright.
The second way to read runes is to hold the pouch in your non-dominant hand and think about the question you want answered (if any) as you pull out runes with your dominant hand, placing them in the shape of whichever layout you’ve chosen to do. This is the way I like to do it.
Where to get rune stones from? A popular way is to make your own either by inscribing them into wood or drawing them on stones, or you can also buy pre-made sets for ease. These can, again, be in wood, stone, or crystals (which is what I use). Choosing crystal rune stones infuses them with an extra layer of magical

Those who possess the ring are said to be initiated into a secret society and become part of an exclusive group of individuals who hold esoteric knowledge. While the Janie Crow ring may seem alluring, it is important to note that the occult and its practices are often surrounded by controversy and skepticism. Some believe that these rings are merely elaborate hoaxes, designed to exploit the gullible and the vulnerable. Whether the Janie Crow ring is a genuine artifact of supernatural power or simply a product of human imagination, its allure and mystique continue to captivate the curious. As with all things occult, it is up to the individual to decide whether to embrace or dismiss the enigma that surrounds these rings..
