A Handy Guide to Divination with Scandinavian Runes

Futhark is the most widely used runic system today, far surpassing both Icelandic and Irish runes. The sacred alphabet of the ancient Germans has found a place in modern esoteric tradition, and many people now practice divination with Scandinavian runes. The simplicity of rune representations is both an advantage and a disadvantage. On one hand, anyone can draw the rune Perth or Ehwaz, but on the other hand, the letters themselves carry no meaning, unlike the images of the Arcana in Tarot. Therefore, you will need instructional literature to study Scandinavian runes. A guidebook for divination with Scandinavian runes can provide you with the basic knowledge necessary to start divining almost immediately after you purchase a set of runes: direct and reversed meanings of the runes, rules of divination, as well as a selection of various layouts for all occasions.
