Witches runes are a form of divination that is often used by practitioners of witchcraft, Wicca, and other pagan traditions. These runes are not to be confused with the traditional Norse or Germanic runic alphabet, as witches runes have their own unique symbols and meanings. The origins of witches runes are not clear, but they are thought to have been developed by witches in the early 20th century. They are often used as a tool for gaining insight and guidance in various areas of life, such as love, career, health, and spirituality. Unlike traditional runes, witches runes typically consist of simple symbols that can easily be drawn or carved onto objects, such as stones or pieces of wood. Each symbol has its own meaning, and when these symbols are combined, they can create a message or answer to a specific question.
3. NEVER look in the bag to pick a rune, and NEVER just grab the most convenient one. When your hand is in the bag, it should be moving around and picking the rune it is drawn to.
As I was skimming through, I felt a little odd about each rune being noted as positive or negative, as I always feel that divination tools are inherently indifferent or neutral. This is considered a lucky rune and if leading it is very positive about your query, whether the query is about finance, business, friendship, partnership or spirituality.
Each symbol has its own meaning, and when these symbols are combined, they can create a message or answer to a specific question. There are many different sets of witches runes available, with each set having its own unique symbols and interpretations. Some common symbols include the moon, the sun, the cross, the pentagram, and various elemental symbols.
Wicca & Witchcraft - Witch's Runes Interpretation
To use the Witch's Runes for divination purposes, cast the runes in the manner of dice, casting all of them at once. A rune is only relevant to a reading if it falls face up, ignore any that are face down. The leading (or most important) rune in a reading is the one furthest from you. If all the runes are face-down, you are not yet meant to know the answer. You should not attempt another reading for at least one week.
The Sun - Keywords: Success, progress.
Meanings: The Sun is a rune of success and positive outcome. For a straightforward yes/no question it can be read as "yes". It also denotes progress and personal enrichment in life. When it is the leading stone it equates to the outcome card in the Tarot.
The Moon - Keywords: Change.
Meanings: The "x" marks represent the four main phases of the moon and so you can expect changes to happen within the next 28 days. This is a particularly feminine stone and often appears in response to questions about women's issues. The Moon rune is a messenger. It is telling you to be aware that major changes are coming to your life. Consult the runes closest to it to determine whether those changes are negative or positive.
The Rings - Keywords: Love, relationships.
Meanings: The Rings is the rune of love and again, when it is the leading stone, it is a positive answer to your question. It is very much a rune of relationship and can indicate engagement, marriage or a new/renewed relationship. It can also indicate the need for a fresh approach to an existing relationship.
The Crossed Spears - Keywords: Arguments, negativity.
Meanings: The Crossed Spears is a rune that signifies arguments and negative events. Often this can be of an upsetting nature, rather like the Tower card in the tarot. It is not all bad though. If it is near to a positive rune it may indicate the end of a quarrel and healing. Especially if it lies near the Rings. This rune could mean a promotion at work, or a fast recovery if you're ill.
The Wave - Keywords: Friends, family, travel.
Meanings: This rune is to do with the your friends and family and their influence upon you. Its meaning is usually derived from the other stones closest to it. This rune is also associated with travel. A journey abroad is indicated especially if the Sun rune is nearby, but a journey for someone close to you if the Moon stone is closest. If it is near to the Rings it foretells a holiday or long distance relationship.
The Ear Of Corn - Keywords: Good luck, success.
Meanings: This rune represents abundance, success and happiness. This is considered a lucky rune and if leading it is very positive about your query, whether the query is about finance, business, friendship, partnership or spirituality. In conjunction with the Rings it indicates a happy and prosperous marriage. With the Sun it means success in your career, and with Waves, success abroad.
The Birds - Keywords: Unexpected news, change.
Meanings: The Birds Rune means some unexpected news that may alter your life completely. Especially if this is the leading rune. Generally the news will lead to a positive change but pay close attention to the nearest runes to determine its nature. It can also mean news of riends or family that you haven't had contact with in quite a while. Letters and documents should be watched for as they may well bring happiness.
The Black Rune - Keywords: Difficulty, pain.
Meanings: This is a rune of difficultyand negative influences will rule your life for a time, but as all difficulties are a learning experience it will lead to improved personal perspective and progress on your life's path. Always consult the surrounding runes with this stone. If it lies with a positive stone it indicates that the pain of this experience will lead to a beneficial change in circumstances.
To use witches runes, one typically holds the runes in their hands, focuses on their question or issue, and then randomly selects a certain number of runes from the set. The symbols on the chosen runes are then interpreted to provide guidance or insight into the situation at hand. The interpretation of witches runes can vary depending on the practitioner and the specific set of runes being used. Some practitioners may rely on their intuition and personal associations with the symbols, while others may refer to established interpretations or guidebooks. Witches runes can be a powerful tool for self-reflection and exploration, providing individuals with a means to connect with their intuition and the energies of the universe. However, it is important to approach divination with an open mind and a healthy dose of skepticism, as the accuracy and effectiveness of these tools can vary greatly from person to person. In summary, witches runes are a form of divination commonly used by witches and pagans. They consist of unique symbols that are used to gain insight and guidance in various areas of life. The interpretation of witches runes can be highly personal and can vary depending on the specific set of runes being used..
