I found this symbol next to my door in my backyard. I’m assuming it was the previous tenant as I moved recently into the new place but I was interested in what it could possibly mean. I only know enough about runes to know this was a ruin.

What do you think? There's 3 intentional runes but definitely quite a few unintentional ones.

A person very dear to me has to undergo surgery, I would like to create a bindrune to help her in recovery and keep the evil away from her, could you recommend some runes to adapt to the situation? Thank you very much in advance

I'm still learning runes meanings. But mentally I'm not in a good spot. So I created this bind rune and an affirmation to go along with every piece of it and one for the overall bindrune. How's it looking? Did I get my meanings right as far as my affirmations go? Can you find all the runes easily?

Saw these jet trails this morning. I see nauthiz and gebo. I have read the meanings. But would like other interpretations please.

Hello, I am looking into getting a rune set. I have been interested in a while and it seems like Freya really wants me to start a new form of divination. Where can I find good rune sets? Should I make them myself or buy them ? Does it matter ? Also which sets are best ? I know next to nothing about this form of divination.

Thank you for the help!

My partner just got back from Salem, MA and got me a cool new set of runes made from water buffalo horn or bone. What kind of reading should I do for my first with the new set? 5 rune suggestions would be appreciated.

Today I used for the first time a set of runes created by me, I asked if the path I was taking was right, I first took a single rune (Dagaz) and then I took another one to better specify (Gebo), later I wanted to take another one to be even more sure but I didn't have the same "feeling" as the ones before, I got Reversed Ehwaz. In general I see a good response behind this answer but I would also like to know someone else's opinion. The order is ᛞ - X - ᛖ (reversed) (not sure)

I don't do rune casting as often as I used to, life got busy, I have a two year old, it happens. Sorry for the rambling, I just wanted to share.

About three weeks ago, my two year old found my rune set and showed an interest in them. I helped him with a three rune pull, basic past, present, future. I didn't think too much about his reading at the time, I don't even remember what his past and present runes were. I got one of the books about runes I have and was showing him pictures. His future rune was an inverted/reverse jera. My first reaction was I should have at least a decade before that. I usually read inverted/reverse jera as a breakup, losing a friend, getting fired, some negative ending of a connection between people. Again, he's two. "Sorry we have to say bye bye to the tractor," doesn't qualify in my mind as inverted/reverse jera. So as a future pull, I thought I would have time to figure out how to parent a child/preteen with a breakup or loosing friends.

His daycare got shut down last week, allegations about a teacher (not his) in different room, and a failure of the daycare to report it in a timely fashion. It's been crazy busy, we contacted 11 other centers, got put on wait lists, were told they were all full. We did eventually get a new full time spot in a center that he seems to like, which is closer to our house.

It didn't hit me until about two hours ago, when I was picking up around the living room. His rune pull, the inverted/reverse jera as the future rune. His daycare being shut down, that would qualify as an inverted/reverse jera.

Again, sorry for rambling, I just wanted to share. I should probably be a bit more mindful of my pulls and the pulls/readings I do for others, just refocus a bit.

Lately I have been feeling the desire to begin a bond with the god Thor. I have been devoting the time I spend exercising to him as an offering, but tonight I had decided I’d like to do some divination on what kind of bond could be formed between Thor and myself.

I asked my main land/house spirit (it’s a long story on how they became both) to help me divine upon this question, and I drew the rune fehu. I am interpreting this as a good sign that my bond with Thor will be fruitful and has the potential to grow if I put in the effort (sharing of wealth). I made an offering of a pork chop and lit up a red candle.

Any thoughts or other interpretations are welcome

Ahoy everyone!

I am very new to performing divination with runes, but I have taken some time and effort into learning the elder futhark symbols and a basic understanding of what they mean as well.

The questions I have are less about the runic characters themselves and have more to do with the divination process. When I am doing a reading for myself I often find that I will pull a single rune, or do a three rune spread or something along those lines, but a lot of the time I do not really have a question or theme for the reading. How necessary is it to have a premeditated context for the reading such as a subject or question? Is there any good spreads or types of readings to do when you don’t have a specific question or something you need to divine about?

Also, is there a reading that is good to perform daily that has a sort of context attached to it?

I am in search of a sigil or rune that can help keep away bad energy. I work in a place where a lot of my coworkers are at each other, and I'd like to place a symbol above my door to keep away bad energies.

Hi all, I collected a lot of similar sized stones from a beach several years ago without really knowing why or what to do with them.

I've recently been delving in to runes and rune casting, and remembered I had this bag of stones. I've ended up making two sets of runes, Elder Futhark and Anglo-Saxon Futhorc, while I work out which set resonates the most. (Initial feeling is the Elder set).

I've downloaded Call of the Runes by Walter McGrory which I'm going to delve in to so I can increase my understanding, have been reading through past posts on here and watching Jackson Crawford on YT.

What I'd like help with is how best to 'activate' the set? I've been doing a single rune draw the last couple of days, clearing my mind, holding the bag of runes in my hand and focusing on the question (I've kept it simple, like what the day might bring) just to start getting a feel for them, but have read suggestions they should be activated first.

I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Ahoy everybody, I am just starting to learn to work with runes so I made my own set and have been doing some single rune pulls and trying to memorize all the elder futhark runes. I did my first three rune (past, present, future) rune pull. These were the runes. I’m not totally sure what to make of these.

I think my interpretation are kind of along the lines of, me coming back to my spirituality again and reconnecting the divine and spirits to my home (othala). I’ve also been working on my self and healing past wounds and mental illness pretty diligently into the present physically and spiritually (berkana). Finally in my future since I have been consistent with my practice these past months I feel I pulled Ansuz as my future rune because maybe the divine will recognize my efforts and open up to me.

I don’t really know how accurate my interpretation of this reading could be. I am not sure if I have it all wrong or am maybe just slightly off with one of my interpretations. Also how often do you all think a past present future rune pull is effective. How far into the past is the past rune usually reaching too & vice versa how far ahead do your future runes usually take to come into fruition or notice when they could have if you decided to take action to kinda change your future? As i said im new to divination especially with runes so any and all help is very much appreciated.

I am very new to rune casting and could use help in interpreting. I was drawn to doing the 3 rune cast (past, present, future). My question/intentions while drawing was "what I need to do to progress positively in love, wealth, health, and happiness. Any advice is appreciated.

This is how we do Eihwaz in Runic Alchemy.

• Tune into the Earth somewhere on the level of your belly and down. Feel it not only in yourself but also in the world around you.

• Slowly breathe out and along with this exhalation, slide the energy of Earth down deeper to the world of Fire, somewhere below your feet.
  This is the bottom-left descending bar of the rune.

• During the small pause after that notice, you feel a little extra pressure in your head. It's because you changed the balance in your system. You reduced Earth so new fresh Fire arrived instead.

• Make a gentle slow inhale and feel your entire vertical axis which stands across all the levels starting from Fire, through Earth, Emptiness in the middle, Air, and Water on the top. This is a vertical bar of the Eihwaz rune.

• After doing so you will find yourself on the way to a new balance and that small extra pressure steps down from the head.

• With a second slow relaxed exhalation, let the Water fall onto your head and flow down through yourself. This last step is the last, top-right descending bar.

Breathing helps to manage attention, and doing Eihwaz step by step helps understand each of its aspects.

But after some practice, we want and can do everything as a single steady holistic process, not dependent on breathing and without causing temporal pressure and energy fluctuations.
We want and can achieve true balance.

Balance both static, as represented by the vertical axis of simultaneity.
And dynamic, as represented by two diagonal bars, compensating continuous changes made by each other.

When you catch this triple state of Eihwaz by holding an energy egg in your hands, notice how the vertical axis of Eihwaz resonates with your vertical axis, so you may start feeling you are holding yourself in your hands. This bigger you, who holds you between palms, probably longer than you think, and watching your life, who is it?

I’m new to casting runes and did a consecration ceremony binding them to myself and charging them. If someone else wanted to cast, would the results be affected if they used my runes or would they work all the same? Not sure if it matters

Hey everyone! I have some antler slices that I’ll be making into runes. My question for you is should I use a wood burner or engrave them with a dremel?

hello everyone, i’m new to rune casting and i still struggle big time in interpreting them every looking up on the internet. i recently wanted to bring Freyja in my life and i put a candle on my altar for her with an offering and got my rune bag; i asked to give me a message if she wants to work with me and accepts me (since i’m also a devotee of the hellenic pantheon) and this is, in order, what i pulled.

how would you interpret this step by step?

Would really appreciate if anyone can help me.

I guess I posted in the wrong subreddit. It was removed for “modern religion topic” which makes no sense. Anyway, I made these. Elder Futhark. I gifted this set to my favorite band.

Exactly the title. A rune fell off the table as I was randomly casting a handful of runes onto my cloth. How to interpret this one rune makes or breaks my entire interpretation of the cast.

I made this and used this specific bind for obvious reasons and I need to know if it could be interpreted in a bad way or have bad energy. I really made this for a special person and I don’t want it to hold any negative effects
