There are no “correct” names for the runes, as the runes are older than any names we’ve given them. If you want historical names, reference the rune poems from different cultures. Or just call them whatever you want. 3 Introduction The runes are symbols, given to our ancestors by God, that are each imbued with special properties and representations. Because of this, they can be used for blessings, and they are also very useful for divination. Divination can be best understood as utilizing the chaos of our world, which is truly not chaos at all, but rather divine orchestration, to receive answers to any questions. These can be about the past, present, or the future. They can be for guidance, comfort, warnings, predictions, or just anything you might need to know. To perform divination, there are three components that are essential. First, you need a question. You need to know what you want to ask, and think carefully about this, as the way you ask a question can invite lots of knowledge, or it can close you off to knowledge. Don’t ask a leading question, or load your question with assumptions. If a fundamental basis of your question is false, then it will likely be much harder for you to clearly understand the answer. Second, you need a language. You need some kind of thing that can be applied to the chaos that you can then read back. In this case, we will be using runes. Third, you need a method to tap into the chaos. You can come up with one yourself, or you can use ones that already are common practice. An extremely simple method is to simply take a bag of runes, ask your question, shake the bag, then draw one rune out. The meaning behind the rune can then serve as an answer to your question. Doing this obviously leaves very little room for complexity or nuance, though, so keep that in mind. More complicated methods might take more time to use, but they will often yield very complex and in depth answers. 4 Divination Methods The first method we’ll discuss is free casting. Free casting is one of the least complicated methods to understand mechanically, but one of the most complicated methods to actually interpret. To get started, free casting follows these steps: 1. Place all your runes into a container. 2. Ask your question, then shake or stir the runes. 3. Blindly reach in, grab a random handful of runes. 4. Cast the runes onto a flat surface in front of you. 5. Remove all runes that fell face down. 6. Begin interpreting the runes, considering their groupings, relation to one another, reversals, etc. So, while this method is very simple to execute, the complexity and nuance of the answers can range drastically. Sometimes you’ll throw twelve runes, but only one will fall face up, making it a very brief and simple answer. Sometimes they’ll all fall face up in four or five different groupings with some strange cryptic formation that could take you an hour to break down. More than anything, though, free casting is unique in that it invites any answer with minimal restrictions. Next up, we’ll take a look at the historical method from Roman times. This method will seem familiar to those versed in Tarot: 1. Ask your question, then pour out all your runes onto a cloth. 2. Without looking, draw three. 3. Interpret the three runes as an answer to your question. So, it’s essentially the classic “draw three” option, except with a few extra ceremonial steps if you want to go read the account by Tacitus. 5 Divination Methods (Cont.) For another example, one useful tool in designing any method is to assign roles to the runes as you draw them. So, when doing a simple draw of three, you could assign the first rune to represent the past, the second rune to represent the present, and the third to represent the future. You can experiment with what roles you give, how many you draw for each role, or whatever other variables you might consider. Reversals For the most part, when explaining the meanings of the runes throughout this guide, it does not go into detail as to what their reversed meanings could be. The reason for this is that I find it to be much more effective to simply understand the core meaning of the rune, and then understand how reversals work across the board. In some divination methods, a reversal of a symbol is just the opposite of a thing. With runes, reversals can be any negative iteration of a thing. In some cases, it will just be the opposite, especially for the runes with more directly positive meanings. Algiz, for example, when reversed, becomes essentially just the opposite of its aspects. It isn’t always that simple, though. In general, a reversal could indicate the excess of a thing, the lack of a thing, the falsification of a thing, or the opposite of a thing, specifically when the opposite is something negative. Whichever one of these aspects of the reversal comes into play will rely on context, and the interpreter will have to exercise discretion. 6 Predicting The Future (Forecasting) One of the first things you should be fully aware of when you begin using the runes is that they will show you the future. You will hear people tell you that they can’t do this. Those people know nothing, and they are stupid. The runes will show you the future, and you need to understand how to use that access responsibly and effectively. To start, there are certain principles that you have to understand about causation. A lot of people will ask a question about the future, specifically their own futures, wanting a fixed answer. The problem is that there are some basic time travel rules to consider, the primary one being that knowing what the future would have been can alter what it will actually be. To best illustrate this, here’s an example. Imagine that you’re a university student, and you have a big exam coming up. Like an idiot, you think, “Oh, I should ask the runes how I will do on the test, that will surely calm my nerves!” The problem here is that you are casting with the expectation of the runes to tell you a certain future, you either passing or failing the test. However, if you would have otherwise passed the test, actually knowing that information could play a role is making it not true. If the runes simply say “you’re gonna do great!” because you were going to do great had you not asked, then you may take it for granted, go in unprepared, and then fail miserably. Because of this, you have to approach the future with the knowledge of your own role in its fulfillment. The only times that the runes can freely tell you fixed futures are essentially when there is nothing you either can or will do about it to alter the chain of events. Everything else is best taken as advice, warnings, directions, etc. 7 f Fehu is a rune of material. The name generally translates as “Cattle” or “Wealth”. It represents material possession, acquisition, fulfillment, satisfaction, or wholeness. While it’s easy for one to glance at a Fehu and think “Money”, it can be much more encompassing than just that. In essence, Fehu represents what is materially held. This can take the form of simple wealth, as wealth broadly covers many of our material holdings. It can always represent things that money can’t always buy, but are still within the realm of material holding, such as health or intellect. The health of your body is a material possession. The cognitive capacity of your brain, as an organ, is a material possession. These are material things that we have as tools at our disposal in life. Cleverness, art, good food, beautiful architecture, wild grass in a field, a healthy body, healthy family, and a warm home are all examples of material things that we want to have in our lives to give us a sense of fulfillment and completion to our life experiences. 8 u Uruz is a rune of natural condition. The name refers to the aurochs, an ancient wild ox. It represents strength, impulsiveness, passion, desire, vitality, lust, freedom, determination, and any other aspect of the natural condition.
