How this reading works
Draw runes at random and read each as a prompt for reflection. Modern rune casting and its meanings are largely a 20th-century development, loosely built on the reconstructed rune names. There is no direct evidence that runes were used for divination. Tacitus (Germania, ch. 10) describes lots marked with signs and cast on a white cloth, but these were not necessarily runes.
Runes are drawn one by one from a bag (or cast on a cloth). Each rune’s traditional name — for example fehu, "cattle, wealth" — and its stanza in the medieval rune poems inform the reading.
The Elder Futhark is the oldest runic alphabet, used by Germanic peoples from the 2nd to the 8th centuries. Tacitus (98 AD) describes Germanic lot-casting, but whether runes were used is unclear; modern rune casting largely dates from Ralph Blum’s 1982 Book of Runes.
Cultural, safety and licence notes
Runes are part of the heritage of living Heathen communities. Some runic symbols have also been misused by hate groups; this site uses them only in their historical alphabetic meaning.
