TOOL SERIES -Runes

 Merry Meet, friends!

Thank you so much for your patience. Today's New Moon seems like the perfect time to get caught up.




The New Moon today is the perfect time to do a little divination work. Whether you use Tarot, Runes, or other forms, now is the time to think about what you want to attract over the next twenty-one days. Since we're focusing on the Runes as our tool this week, let's dive a little deeper.

Runes are an ancient Northern European system consisting of twenty-five runes, including a blank one. You can find the basic meaning of each one in the Appendix of Deborah Blake's Witchcraft On A Shoestring as well as other reputable sources. If you purchase runes, often they come with a guide to help you identify and interpret their meanings. Each stone has a unique property that makes them effective tools in divination or meditation.

Runes began as a sacred writing system from Scandinavia and Germany, as well as Great Britain. Each sign of the runic alphabet holds it's own energy property which can be used to restore harmony with the natural world. This is why the best stones are inscribed/ engraved on stone, wood, or metal. 

When used as divination, like Tarot, Runes provide fresh perspective of the situation in question. You may also choose a single stone from the bag to become your personal rune. By researching that symbol, you can apply the meaning to your life situation and state of mind.  A single rune may provide an overview of a specific question or situation. 

Another way to use the runes is to select three stones and create a triad to represent your personal hopes and ambitions. Place in a triad, they become a sigil you can place on your altar or area of your home where you will always be rooted in your mind's eye and focusing mental energy on your desires. You can even use runes to chart your future.


You can either purchase or make your own runes. I purchased the above set from Spirit Halloween on a trip into the city last week. I may need to get another as a gift for a friend. Her birthday is on Halloween.

In the past I've painted mine on glass stones from $Tree as well as stamped in clay using a metal stamp set for decorating leather. You can use either of these two methods as well as purchasing or harvesting sliced discs from wood and use a permanent marker or a wood burning tool. 

One last tip. When you choose your personal rune, consider making it into a keychain or something you can keep on your person to guide you on your life journey.

Blessed Be!

TOOLS SERIES - Delayed A Week Due To Tech Issues

 Merry Meet, friends!

I wound up last minute tacking on a few extra days to spend with my sister. I am not kidding when I say there was not a single clear surface for me to work at her house! I couldn't work the laptop on my lap because I have to use an external keyboard. Trust me, it's a thing LOL.

We will be talkin RUNES next Tuesday. I promise. 

I'm headed home today.

Blessed Be!

TOOL SERIES - NEXT WEEK

 Merry Meet, everyone!

I'm scrambling to get creative and author stuff wrapped up before I leave for the writer's conference in Eureka Springs AR on Thursday. Bob's holding down the fort & taking care of the critters. I'll be back in time for next week's series when we'll be talking RUNES.

Thank you for your patience.

Blessed Be!

MINDFUL MONDAY

 I thought I'd bring in some witchy quotes for the month. Thanks to a little help from The Wholesome Witch and one of her posts. I hope you'll check out her channel.

Also, please take time to enjoy the FULL MOON aka The Hunter's Moon. What will you be sending on its way?
