Choosing a rune for the day

Place the runes in your bag and each morning draw one out without looking. This will give you a good idea of what is going on in your world, as all the runes address aspects of our lives.

What is more, it will suggest the strengths or qualities that will be of most help. Best of all you can then take your rune of the day to work or out with you to allow the power or protection inherent in the symbol to inspire you.

Some people have a special set carved or drawn on different crystals so that they can carry with them the symbol of the day and benefit from the living energies of the crystal. It also means you don’t risk losing part of your divinatory rune set.

Remember to get up ten minutes early so you can hold your rune of the day and allow images, words or impressions to form in your mind.

Ask a question and take three runes from your bag without looking and cast them into a circle.

Only read those runes inside the circle and if none are, it is not the right time to ask. Hold each rune in turn and allow pictures and impressions to come into your mind.

Then interpret the meaning for the rune. If a rune falls blank side uppermost the issue may be a difficult one emotionally or it may just not be the time to manifest in your life.

Then allow your mind to weave the rune meanings into an answer. If it is not clear go for a walk and ideas and solutions will come that may be continued in your dreams.
