You might be wondering exactly what runes have to do with psychic reading, and if you are, then you’re not alone: while most other types of psychic reading are very focused on reading a person, or connecting with the other side, other types of psychic reading like numerology, tarot and, yes, runes – really rely on tools as ways to access the universe’s truths and wisdom.
So then what are runes? How do they offer the universe’s wisdom?
Here’s everything you need to know about runes – where they come from, and how you can use them to learn more about yourself and the universe’s answers for you.
What are Runes? Where do Runes Come From?
Runes are often thought to be the oldest, and probably the first ever psychic tool and protection charms.
There’s even evidence of runes being used during the Roman and Germanic eras, and evidence of a rune alphabet all the way back in 150-800 AD.
The word ‘rune’ comes from several languages, and means a variation of ‘secret’, ‘whisper’, ‘’mystery’ and ‘hidden’ – these are all explanations towards the secret powers within casting runes.
Fast forward to modern times – or at least, slightly more ‘modern’ times! Modern day Celtic runes have been around since the 17th century, and are probably the more familiar type of runes that you’d see today in a rune reading. They’re small stones with the rune alphabet’s letters carved into them, and rune readers use them to both predict the future and answer your life questions.
Rune stones could also be called Celtic runes, magic runes and also Viking runes – they’re all pretty much the same type of runes, with the same runic alphabet – you might have just noticed a slight difference in the shape of the symbols.
What Are Runes Used For?
In order to respond to this inquiry, you’ll require a rune reading! The meanings of the runes vary for each individual seeking guidance, but the oracle (the rune reader) you are consulting can offer insights into the future and assist you in finding answers to all your inquiries.
Each of the symbols on the runes have different meanings and insights into situations, so depending on the question you as a seeker have, the runes can mean different things.
Most rune readers will use both a mixture of the runes and their own intuition and psychic ability to answer specific questions you might have, giving you a better overview of an answer.
The practice of psychic readers employing runes has an extensive background: historically, the symbols of the runes were utilized as talismans, protective barriers, and even for conveying covert communications between rune interpreters and psychics! The potency of each rune symbol has been harnessed for centuries, offering safeguarding and restoration to those who possess and pursue them: if you consider other well-known esoteric symbols, such as the hamsa, the ankh, the eye of horus or tree of life, you’ll grasp just how influential rune symbols can be.
How Do You Read Runes?
For that, you’ll have to ask a rune reader! What most people might find frustrating during their first ever rune reading is, much like other psychic tools and readings, rune readings can offer very personal, very deep insights, but possibly not direct answers – they’re not a magic 8 ball, after all!
Because they don’t provide those direct answers you might be seeking, a psychic reader using runes might use their other psychic powers – aura reading, or intuition, to give you a more direct answer and a deeper reading.
Just like with tarot card readings, the images on the tarot and the symbols on the rune have a lot of varied interpretations, based on the way they are presented, the context of the reading and even the position they fall in the reading itself.
So – if you’re looking to become a master of rune reading, then you should know it takes years and years of mastery and skill – you’re better off going to a skilled psychic reader for a rune reading in the meantime (or even to be taught by them!)
Rune Symbols and Meanings
Just as with tarot readings, there’s a whole variety of reading types and spreads. With rune readings, the most common layouts are the 3, 5 and 9 rune stone spreads.
Of course, you can also draw just one rune for a more direct answer to a specific question – but if you’re looking for a deeper analysis, you’ll need to have a wider layout.
There are 24 runes, each with a related letter of the alphabet, with different meanings depending on the way they are cast.
Each of the runes will correspond to a different body part – physical, emotional or mental, as well as some kind of action or sensation.
