Fortune Telling With Runes Reading

Runes have always had a prophetic meaning to all those who interpret them just like magic. The alphabet of runes is widely used in all of Northern Europe and is said to be an old Germanic literary language.

Making prophecies or predicting misfortunes have always been associated as an important role of runes. Rune masters have long since been using runes to cast spells or practice sorcery on someone they like or to those they are angry with. A rune is also used as a cure for those who are ill, protecting the holy rituals of the ancestors and even to resurrect those who have come to pass.

The 24 alphabet of runes had their own names ever since it was discovered. Gods like Odin is said to send omens to the people and in return, the people use runes to interpret them. All legends that have been told by the rune masters is said to be connected to Odin.

Like there are numerous and different ways of tarot reading, similarly in runes too there are different methods of casting and reading as in any form of fortune telling.

The casting method of runes does not necessarily need to come up with an elaborate and huge ritual like casting a circle, calling up deities and calling quarters among others each time you have to read runes. A routine should be developed like starting and conducting a reading and then sticking to what you have read.
