HI Jeannie, What you are saying about the Norse being "stuck" in the past can be said of many religions for example: the christians pray to a god from 2000plus...
Hello all, I'm obviously new and want to say hi. While I've done some reading on Runes and am looking for the books on the reading list, I'm planning on...
Clay is great because of how much you get to handle it as you're forming your set. You can knead your energy right into it, so that you feel a bond with your...
I vote for wood (tree branches) as the preferred medioum. Not only is it a no-cost medium, It is the tradition medium and, as I mentioned in previous posts, it...
Heilsa! My name is Kat, and I am a 20 year old college student who lives in Birmingham, Alabama. I've just embarked on my spiritual journey with Asatru, so...
To me, none of ... This is a completely nonsensical statement, that, if anything else is the reason WHY such elder sources need be studied. Kin of gods, to me...
I'm going to go with the clay approach for right now, since I have some available from a prior art project. I'm also going to make a wood set, I'm going to...
I found the book "Empowering Your Life With Runes" by Jean Marie Stine has great instructions on how to read rune casts. Also, she uses a "three circle"...
It is said that runes made from natural materials or with your own hands are better because of the energy the runes are infused with, but I think that any...
First of all, just because someone chooses to make runes out of something other than wood doesn't mean they're not comfortable in nature and woodlands....
So you're not into all that "fuss" and "humbug" about energy and such, but you do believe that part of the reason you work well with your willow runes is...
Personally, whenever I have tried to use runes I have not made myself, all I keep thinking is "someone else made these, someone else's energy is infused in...
Thank-you elise, my feelings too. Yes, I'm a newbie at this, but, even way back when, in using a Blum set, I was getting the "right" readings. Now, I've...
I can't understand the focus on material. Is the energy of runes inherent in the material? Does it exist outside of wood? If you want to say wood is good...
Once again, everyone has their own opinion. Maybe you can ignore someone else's energy lingering in something they've made, but I choose not to. I prefer to...
Boy, you people sure are adept at skipping over that parts in others' messages where they say "in my opinion" and "but that's just me". I never said it was...
A very good question indeed. My take on it is this: rune reading is something like a guided meditation. You want to access/find out about certain concepts and...
I am new to this group too. I have used runes but many years ago. I wonder how much of the idea that it is better to make your own runes is in your own mind....
Hello, all. My name is Richard. I am 64 years old and live in San Francisco with my partner of 28 years. I am a Lutheran Christian, though friends have told...
Thanks for the recommendations. The Stine book looks especially interesting and helpful. I generally use either three runes or the runic cross for my...
For me, the symbol is not actually what it represents. The symbol of Jesus on the cross, for instance, isn't Jesus on the cross in real life. Other symbols...
It is refreshing to know I'm not the only one. Can you go into a little detail, other than ethics which is a no-brainer, about how you would incorporate the ...
That was in response to your response to someone telling them that you didn't see how store bought runes could be made 'yours'. Well--they can. That you think...
Greetings Everyone! Another club newbie here! Wanted to say hello to everybody as soon as I could. I'm not going to post much about me right now because of...
... at me with their pitchforks, hehehe Sorry to disappoint you, my weapon of choice in these kinds of discussions is a waterballoon <splat>. Seriously tho,...
Well it seems interesting that everyone has a interesting opion on the store bought or personal made runes. Imo I think that making the runes yourself is...
I diddn't mean everyone. The ones will know who I am talking about. And I know I spelled tradition wrong. ... Do you Yahoo!? The all-new My Yahoo! – What...
