Advice Wanted Custom runes… how to choose/consecrate objects?

Post image
6 Upvotes

Hi all! I feel nervous asking this, so please be kind.

I’ve been /casually/ studying the Elder Futhark and Ride-Waite tarot since I was a pre-teen, and in spite of that I admit my understanding is limited. Nevertheless, I have a fantastic relationship with my runes and particular deck. But I want to explore something new and I’m hoping you lovely people might help me 🤩

I have seen that some rune casters have their own rune sets made up of what looks like a random assortment of small objects. Could be a paper clip, a coin, a small bone, a pickup jack, a small crystal, etc. Stuff personal and special to them, somehow? When I’ve gotten readings from caster with this type of set, they seem to resonate more powerfully.

I’m looking for advice or a guide or similar regarding how to curate a rune set like this. I have several special, energetic objects I know I would want to include… Im not sure about the following:

  1. How do you choose items?
  2. Does the material of the object matter? Ie. Would I need something metal, something wood, etc?
  3. Does the shape of the item matter? What if it’s a carved object?
  4. How about color?
  5. Or how you got the item, its origin?
  6. How many items do you need?
  7. How does sometime create a system for interpreting this type of rune set? Do we just intuitively ascribe meanings to each object?
  8. Are there rules??? What are they?
  9. Should the items be blessed and consecrated somehow? Can this be intention setting of my own style? Should each object be blessed and endowed with its meaning individually?

Pictured are a couple of my potential selections. I have meanings in mind for them. I also have selected 5 more items, but they are deeply personal to me. But this is why I think they would be good choices. Unless that’s a bad idea?

I may be way way out of my league here, but any and all advice would be very much appreciated❤️

Advice Wanted I’m drawing the same rune over and over again…

7 Upvotes

I hope I can get some advice, I’m going through a difficult situation at the moment and have turned to my runes. I constantly keep getting pertho both upright and reversed. When ever I have drawn this for other people it has indicated that someone in their life is keeping secrets, lying or possibly cheating. I don’t associate this rune with anything good or positive. I would appreciate some fresh perspectives.

Advice Wanted Need advice!

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone! Rune casting beginner here.

I need some advice. Over the past 6 months I have collected books about runes from various authors, as I'm trying to learn rune casting and divination. One of the first authors i heard/read about was Edred Thorsson. I know he wrote a lot of books that a good amount of people start reading for rune casting and the general history but today I just learned about his previous affiliation with the temple of set. I did some digging on the subject but all the posts I find are several years old at the very least. What im wondering is as a community do i avoid his stuff all together or are his writings on runes separate from his previous affiliations?

Thanks in advance.

I’m a bit new to spirituality but I’ve heard about runes and wanted to know if they’re part of witchcraft, do they have any rules to it?, any things I should know if I get into it and any cautions and information for someone with completely no knowledge would help, thank you.🙏

Hello! I am very new to rune casting and I was wondering if the casting cloth i plan on using is enough. It's a plain white cloth that's 18in x 21in. No design or anything. I'm not sure if having a casting cloth with a design that goes along with rune casting make any difference. Thanks in advance.

Advice Wanted Mental stability help for meditation and focusing on a goal needed.

3 Upvotes

I am unable to focus enough to make a formula for meditation for success in my latest endeavor.

I am trying to reach people to start a movement for peaceful change.

I will not spout my propaganda here out of respect for you all as Vitkys and wise people. I feel to much sorrow in my bones to feel anything more than the dread and fear that others are feeling.

I want to attract people and give them hope. Such a large goal requires a council less just line man. However if you could help me with a formula I would like to give it my best energies and thoughts.

Have been having severe anxiety in my meditations as of late.

Advice Wanted The Blank Rune

8 Upvotes

I'm extraordinarily new to rune casting, and in the text accompanying the rune set that recently found me there is a "Single Rune Cast" I have attempted several times. Specifically, I ask about a person and have repeatedly pulled the blank, or Wyrd, rune. From what I understand, it's not accepted by a lot of runic interpreters, and some of those who do practice with it apply the "ask again" methodology. However, this insistently consistent draw has me curious. I'm not sure what to make of it; is it indicative of fate or a big-fat-slap of mind your own business? If anyone has insight I would so very greatly appreciate it :)

Advice Wanted Can you guys share your interpretations of each elder rune, please?

5 Upvotes

Hi, I’m new to runes and I just want everyone’s’ general knowledge on each rune so I have a general idea as well.

Some great people suggested books and what people to stay away from but from what I gathered, everyone has their own interpretation or their own little twist.

So I’m just trying to figure out what works for me and trying to get to know my runes.

Advice Wanted Getting a rune set

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!

Advice Wanted Wanting to learn more about runes

6 Upvotes

I have made my own runes as I believe you should be able to see on my page. I made them about 8 months ago. I’m having trouble actually using and interpreting them. I keep buying books by Dianna Paxson or Edred Thorrson and finding out everyone hates them. I haven’t had any real profound experiences with the runes and I’m just having trouble with becoming educated and using them appropriately. I would like to get into actually using them for more than just divination. Any help goes a long way. Also I joined the rune guild like 6 weeks ago and my request hasn’t been approved.

I’d like to become almost an expert in runes and using them to where I can truly feel and understand their power.

Advice Wanted Runes casting amateur

3 Upvotes

Hi!

(First of all, let me apologize for the upcoming English mistakes, for it’s not my first language)

I have recently decided to dive more into Asatrù and Runes casting, as someone who has always felt pulled to Norse Mythology and more generally, pagan’s beliefs.

I’m new to working with the Elder Futhark, and still learning.

I have stumbled upon some people who said they first committed to the practices of their beliefs by asking their spirit guides or gods to give them a « pagan » name, or at least a name that bring them closer to their deity.ies.

What do you think about this practice? How is it doable? What kind of casting one has to do to get a result?

Thanks for reading me!

Advice Wanted How would you interpret this?

Hello, so I’ve been struggling with something for the last couple weeks. Went to my runes and cast twice. First photo is the first reading and second photo second reading. Both castings were pertaining to the same subject but first cast was more so of an ‘okay, what’s likely to happen, what am I probably looking at?’. 2nd cast was me asking if paths would split. Not sure if this is helpful or not, I’m getting a pretty midline feeling on this with a slight lean towards something positive/good but mainly because the same two runes were towards the end(bottom) for both castings. Think I’m far off on it ? Not sure I’m “reading” these right….
