Synopsis

The word "rune" evolved through the centuries to come to mean "whispered secret". The symbols used on the runes were originally a series of pictograms which became a magical alphabet both for ordinary writing and magical/divinatory practices. Today the runes are becoming an increasingly popular way for people to seek guidance with personal and professional problems. This is a complete package with 25 rune stones, a hessian bag and a book. The book gives information on the origins and philosophy behind the runes, explains the significance of each rune, and gives a selection of practical readings explaining how the runes can be used on an everyday basis. The book is divided into three main sections: the history, origins, mythology and philosophy of the runes; a breakdown of the runes, with a page for each rune explaining its significance; a variety of readings, from taking one rune from the bag for a quick answer, to more elaborate and focused readings for in-depth answers.
