Runes are an ancient form of oracle that can be used by those seeking advice. They have a long history, starting with early use by Germanic and Nordic tribes, and are still commonly used today.
The origin of word “rune” stems from the Germanic word for “mystery” or “secret”. It is a form of divination or oracle system that can be used to help gain insight into situations or questions. These days, runes are used as a way of connecting to one’s higher self, inner guidance and tapping into intuition as a method of divining what the future may hold and offering advice (similar to Tarot Cards).
Runes can be made of various materials, but are most commonly made of stone, and feature a symbol from the runic alphabet on them.
