Creating a Divination Rune Set is a great way to look within ourselves in search of answers, balance, and spiritual health.

Divination Rune Set
Items:
- Choose a rune material – wood, clay, rocks, gemstones, etc.
- Applicator tools – wood burner, paint brush, etc.
- Runic alphabet print out – Elder Futhark, Witches, etc.
- There are many types of rune sets that can be found using google.
Directions:
- Gather together your chosen tools and materials into your work space.
- Cleanse or Smudge your space and set and cast your circle (optional).
- Take a moment to center your mind.
- As you apply each symbol, say its name out loud and contemplate on its meaning to help further both your understanding of the symbols as well as your connection to your new rune set.
- If you are painting be sure to allow adequate time for drying.
- Add any finishing touches, such as sealant, to your completed runes.
- Be sure to consecrate your completed runes, using your preferred ritual, before using them. This will both rid your new runes of any lingering negative energies and help you to further familiarize yourself with them.
✨ Remember that personalizing rituals and magical projects helps you to increase how much power you put into your workings. So Have Fun!
