Runes are an ancient alphabet used by Germanic and Norse peoples that go back to around the 2nd or 3rd century CE. They were more than just a writing system since many believed the symbols held spiritual power. The word rune means “secret” or “mystery,” which makes sense because they were often used for magic, divination, and protective inscriptions. The most well-known set is the Elder Futhark, a 24-symbol alphabet, though different regions created their own variations over time. Vikings carved runes into stones, weapons, jewelry, and even everyday objects. Today, runes are appreciated both as a piece of history and as a tool for spiritual practice and personal insight.

Each set comes with a handy pouch, making it easy to store and take with you anywhere. Whether you’re a spiritual practitioner, a curious hobbyist, or simply drawn to the old ways, this rune set makes a meaningful and inspiring addition to your collection. 

How to use: 

Reading runes is basically using ancient symbols as a way to tap into guidance, intuition, or spiritual insight. Each rune has its own meaning, kind of like a letter with a story behind it. To do a reading, you usually draw a rune (or a few) from a pouch, then interpret the symbols based on their traditional meanings and how they relate to your situation. Some people use them for meditation, self-reflection, or to get a different perspective on what’s going on in their life. There’s no one “right” way—it’s about connecting with the symbols, trusting your intuition, and seeing what resonates.
