Handmade Polymer Clay Runes for Divination - Elder Futhark - Faux Dark Green Jade
A set of handcrafted Elder Futhark runes for divination of the future for the followers of the Norse (Nordic) tradition, paganism and Wicca.
The runes have been formed and etched by hand from polymer clay. After curing, the runes were tumble-sanded for several days, buffed, then the symbols hand-painted. Several coats of a protective and color enhancing polish complete the process. Runes have been blessed with positive energy, usually in the form of the loud and happy music I play while I'm working.
The pictures featured in the listing are for visual presentation. These runes are totally handmade and may vary a little in shape or consistency.
Runes are an ancient form of oracle used by those seeking advice. Runes have a long history, dating back to ancient use by Germanic and Nordic tribes, and are still widely used in today’s society. Anyone can have a rune reading, but it’s also fun to be able to learn how to use them yourself.
The word ‘rune’ simply means mystery, whisper or secret and it’s a form of divination or oracle reading system that’s used to help gain insight into situations or questions.
As well as each rune symbol being a letter of the alphabet, they also have symbolic meanings, too. Although many of these date back to traditional meanings, which would have meant a lot to the people using the runic alphabet, the intention behind the symbols still has relevance today.
Runes stem from an ancient form of Germanic alphabet, which was used by the Germanic and Nordic tribes of northern Europe, Scandinavia and Britain for writing, divination and magical purposes. Runic inscriptions have been found on stones, jewelry, weapons and objects dating back to the 3rd century AD, but it’s likely that they existed long before.
The runes can be used to help guide you through problems or issues and help show you what is likely to happen. They’re not a form of fortune-telling and don’t offer exact answers or give you advice. They offer different variables and suggest how you could behave if the event does occur. Runes are known for hinting towards answers, but leaving you to work out the details with your own intuition.
Runic readers acknowledge that the future isn’t fixed and that individuals have the power to follow their own path and make their own decisions. So if you don’t like the guidance that a rune reading provides, you’ve always got the power to change your direction, or your path, and follow a different route.
