A Beginner’s Guide To The Not-So-Ancient Art Of Reading Runes
Welcome, dear reader, to the exciting and complicated realm of runes. You may have seen them in a museum, J.R.R. Tolkien's work, or that one scene in Stardust — they're the little stones with mysterious (probably incomprehensible) symbols carved in them that you draw from a bag or "cast." Those of you who know them from your local esoterica store may equate rune stones with tarot cards — a mystical means of divination with set, designated meanings. But they haven't always been this way. Way back when, "runes" were actually just an alphabet. The earliest runic alphabet is thought to be modeled after the Latin alphabet, and it most likely first appeared in southern Europe among Germanic tribes.
The people most commonly associated with runes are the Norsemen, and, within that, Vikings. Countless artifacts, from gravestones to vases, have been found with rune carvings on them. People used these objects to communicate, pray, and denote ownership. Rude messages have even been found in rune form — yep, not even the Vikings were safe from trolls.
The exact letters of the runic alphabet have countless variations, and it took some time before everyone could agree on how to read them (the final call was from left to right). There's evidence that ancient people wrote out spells, prayers, and invocations in runes, but using them for divining purposes only came later.
While runes reemerged in 20th-century neopaganism and (strangely enough) attempts at diabolical magic during the Third Reich, the process of runic divination that we're most familiar with now was developed by Ralph Blum in the '80s, with The Book of Runes. It has since gone through several other, updated editions, and other authors of esoterica have offered their own, rather different interpretations of the alphabet's soothsaying capacity.
Just like there are different rune alphabets and meanings, there are a variety of ways to read runes, too, from drawing just one to casting a grid of nine. It all depends on what you hope to divine, and whether you're doing it for fun or to answer a specific concern. That said, do watch out for how the runes appear when you draw them. Much like tarot cards, runes can have different meanings when they are drawn in reverse.
Unless you've already dipped a toe into the rune pool, Blum's interpretation of the alphabet will probably be what you first encounter as a beginner. So, take this as your introduction to the world of runes, but don't hesitate to explore which alphabets, sets, and stones speak to you most.
A Rune Carver is a follower of an esoteric art not known to many. They are working to rediscover one of the oldest forms of magic. What moves your Rune Carver to experiment with these arcane markings? Is it for personal power? Is it to further the knowledge of the world? Is it to bring magic to the ungifted?
Yet, my wanders take me far beyond the grove. I travel across mountains and deserts, rivers and cities, always seeking the hidden truths that lie in wait. Each new place brings with it a different kind of magic, a unique energy that fuels my spirit and expands my understanding of the world. As a nomadic witch, I am not bound by the limitations of a single tradition or path. Instead, I weave together elements from various practices, creating a tapestry of magic that is as diverse as the landscapes I traverse. I am a syncretic witch, finding beauty and power in the blending of different belief systems. But perhaps the truest magic I possess is the ability to adapt and find home wherever I roam. The earth is my temple, and wherever I lay my head becomes a sacred space. I connect with the spirits of the land, honoring and respecting their presence as I move through their territories. I am a nomadic witch, a wanderer of the mystical realms. In my journey, I seek not only to discover the secrets of the universe but also to tap into the depths of my own soul. With each adventure, I grow stronger in my craft, forging a connection with the divine that is as unshakeable as the ground beneath my feet..
