The item for sale is a set of genuine gemstone rune stones, the kit consists of 24 engraved and painted stones and a single blank stone, the stones differ slightly in size as they’re hand cut and polished, I’ve added a UK Penny to the pictures to show scale, a Penny measures 20mm in diameter. Each kit has it’s own unique markings, for this reason the item received may differ slightly from those shown in the photographs. The Elder Futhark is the emerging Rune alphabet in popularity; it is also known as the alphabet with the “blank”. What is the best way to use your runes? That is up to you. Here are some common methods of using runes: Method #1: With your runes in their pouch close your eyes, concentrate on what you want an answer for (past situation, present situation or future situation) and chose a rune from the bag as your answer. Method #2:Gently toss the runes from the bag onto a soft surface and the runes while thinking of what you want an answer for (past situation, present situation or future situation) and the rune(s) that stand out the most to you is your answer. Method #3: Lay the runes out in grid and let your hand pass over the runes slowly while concentrating on what you want an answer for (past situation, present situation or future situation). Use your left hand if you are right-handed and your right hand if you are left-handed. You will sense the rune that holds the answer to your question. Method #4: With your eyes closed and while in a neutral state of mind draw three runes from the bag and line them up. The first rune is an answer to a past situation, the second one is an answer to a present situation and the last is an answer to a future situation.
