Digging through the loft today, I found a set of runes that I bought quite a few years ago.
I don't remember which ones they are since the packaging was chucked many years ago. I can tell you, aside from the accompanying hardback book being published by Element and it's writer being Maria Letizia Renzulli, that the actual runes are plain and very uninspiring - black plasic with a gold symbol on each. I have no problem with the accompanying book but the runes are quite horrid.
I had been thinking about runes recently, especially after Moonbows post, and have considered making some for myself. I feel a handmade set would be nicer. I have looked though some of the threads and have seen some stunning sets that members here have made. I did make a set for a friend about ten years ago out of found pebbles, but this time, was considering buying semi-precious stones for the job.
I thought than rather than just buying a lot of them and making them, I would spend a week getting to know the 'said rune' and at the end buy an appropriate stone and engrave/paint it. It would take longer but obviously, stones are not cheap (when you have no cash).
I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find information that might help me to decide which stones would be appropriate for each rune - down to energies and colour. I have done some (very minimal) reading on Fehu this afternoon and thought that colourwise, gold may be appropriate. But ith which stone? I know little about crystals and stones, so any information would be greatly appreciated.
