Common Methods of Divination

Pick from the Pouch Close your eyes, focus on your question, and choose a run from the pouch.

Toss Them Concentrate on your question, then gently toss all your runes onto a soft surface. Find the runes that stand out or are face up.

Lay Them Out Lay out all your runes and pass your dominant hand over them while focusing on your question. Feel for the ones that feel right or call to you.

Odin’s Rune

Most rune sets include a blank rune, which is referred to as “Odin’s Rune”. Whether or not you include it in your readings is up to you. Pulling “Odin’s Rune” means that something is not to be known yet.

Bindrunes

Bindrunes are symbols that combine two or more runes to create a symbol with a specific purpose.

Making a Bindrune

1.) Have a clear intention or goal. Keep it clear and simple.

2.) Select 2 or 3 runes that best fit your intention.

3.) Create a symbol with your selected runes. *Be sure you don’t accidentally draw in other runes or reversed runes*

4.) Keep the bindrune until it has served its purpose.
