Before I started tarot I had two other decks - the Froud Faeries and Ralph Blum's Rune Cards. I actually like his cards very much and I remember at the time being impressed by the art on the cards (a type of collage of natural things like wheat, sticks, shells and leaves etc) but, I also had some accurate readings, albeit beginners dabblings. From there I got into tarot and I haven't touched the rune cards for at least a couple of years.
Well, this is where the fun begins. I was going through a creative phase yesterday and decided I would make some runes, but I was in a hurry, well..... why wait for something, when you can have it now eh? (sounds like something from Homer Simpson's own lips) but, once I get a bee in my bonnet I have to go for it so out in the garden I trot and come back with small pepples ..... I didnt realise my garden was so stoney! I deliberately chose small ones due to the weight, I washed them, let them dry in the sun, wrote the runes on them in green ink and then sealed with ........ yup ........Mabelline Ultra Lasting nailvarnish. I did contemplate clear furniture varnish but that takes 6 hours to dry....... so that wasn't going to happen!
I read the rune threads here, found other sites to learn how to cast them and this morning I had a little 'play'.
I can't be intuitive with them yet because I have to look up the meanings and then comes the intuitive bit of choosing what I think is relevent to the question. I realise this needs more practice and learning from me but what an amazing reading I got! I love these little stones! They sound so nice and... chinky in the bag too! I know, I know, that's a real girlie thing to say - but they do! So I thought I would share a picture of my little rune pebbles from my own garden. I hope it gives others some inspiration and encouragement to go out and do the same. I enjoyed doing it and it was instant - thanks to Maybelline
