Just to add: I think a good way of establishing oneself with the runes is to take one rune and study it for day (reading about it in books, online etc.). Meditate with it think about all the possibilities of what it can mean to you as well as what it symbolizes in general. It also helps to carry it around with you for that day. By the time you reach the end after about a month or 24 days to be exact, I think you'll find that not only do you, first of all remember all of the runes better, but it's also helps with being more intuitive when you go to do your readings.
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success." Joshua 1:8, KJV
making your own runes can be more affective for most considering they put their own energy into them. i made my own as well and they work just as fine. maybe even better.:)
Im a jewelry maker, and I bought a pound of raw amethyst on etsy awhile back. Later on, I used black and gold ink to ink runes into the STONE side of the amethyst (not the crystal). So I have rough amethyst runes:) To protect them, I placed them in a box full of dried lavendar. I wouldve used a cloth, but that wont protect them from rubbing on each other, so I used lavendar so it can get between them and protect them from chipping. They also smell wonderful! I like to keep a selenite palm stone inside of the box with the runes to keep them charging! They arent easily portable, but I loved the process of making them and feel so connected to them. I highly suggest creating runes if you are able:)
@@ScarletRavenswood So What ? I found and built, some of the most distinctly forceful artifacts ever; in that high adventure in the Jungle , months ago- And those runes I made, were for an Illegitimate daughter of Billy Idol, - who also built an old-school Nazi bunker, on an granola''' island, off Canada coast....... She was a hoot.
You should activate them with your blood otherwise they are useless. Well you should know what you do tho. I did with too less knowledge and paid for it
I connect with runes so much more than tarot. And the meanings were conaiderably easier to learn than with tarot. I'd love for you to make increasingly advanced videos on the subject!
One important thing I never really see talked about except in heathen circles is that Norse mythology seems to suggest that the runes have spirits attached to them, and that they expect something in exchange for being used in magical practice. You kind of need to give them an offering when you use rune stones, or they will probably take their payment from somewhere else in your life - and in that event, you don’t get to choose what they take in exchange!
Hey, do you have any sources for this? I'd just like to state that I've never read anything in any documentation anywhere that states that you have to give offerings to your runes when you use them. I'm not saying your UPG is wrong, but I do believe it's wrong to say that "this is how it is"
When going through my families old things I found a small pouch of these and I couldn't figure out what they were. I remember my great grandmother used them but I was very little so I didn't remember what she used them for. Thank you, great video
I’ve been drawn to runes for a very long time. From drawing them on my hands and arms throughout middle school to carving them into trees and rocks in the name of Odin.
Never used runes - I don't think they speak to me. You set up the video beautifully and I enjoyed learning more about them! I love and appreciate your videos, thank you.
Thanks for that great intro to runes, was just drawn to buy some yesterday. Went in to get some Sage & came out with runes instead. Am looking forward to using them now, thank you. 😁💚
I love your videos so much!! I am a baby witch (at 34) but like you I am drawn to tarot, however, I am drawn to Rune casting seeing signs often that I must study and include this in my life. I appreciate how simply yet informative your videos are 😍
I draw 9 Runes and shake them and cast them all on the cloth . The ones closer to the center are closest to the present and most immediately relevant, and work my way out until I get to the farthest out.i only read the ones right side up. I also read the reverse readings for the ones that land upside down but with the rune up. All else are considered mirk staves. I may read those after the first initial reading and remove the ones I have read. These are the ones that landed rune side down. I read these from inside, closest to the center to the outside just like the first. I consider these as distant future
The Ogham is one of the more difficult divination methods... but they're not the same as th he Norse runes... they are closer the staves that also are used
I find runes to be quite difficult to use but I am very interested in learning them, on another note I used to live in the woods and recently moved too the desert Arizona specifically and this land is so filled with wonder and mysterious energy and spirits
i'm super glad that you made this video because i've been having a hard time connecting to my runes due to them being so different from the tarot. i'm excited to try a spread or two :3
... I made a set correctly, years ago : You need , ideally; in Sringtime, take a live branch off a fruit tree, between one and two inches diameter, - and cut it into the 24 for Elder Futhark. [ and you wouldn't believe who I made them for ................... ]
I used an unnatural medium. I had a feeling I should buy some black glass drops at the dollar store. $1 for like 50 of them. A week later, I started learning about rune divination coincidentally. So, I took my engraving tool and started engraving runes onto the glass drops. They turned out really badass. The frosting that the engraving tool made on the surface of the smooth glass turned out grey, so there are shallow grey valleys making the runes on them. I sleep with them under my head or leave them on my altar when I'm not using them.
Ever read the Old English Rune Poem? Futhorc was pretty similar to futhark. The Ing rune interest me with Ing being identified as the constellation Boötes with his wain being Ursa Major
All in all a pretty good video. Two things I would like to say. First in regards to making your own runes, you can also carve the sticks, bits of wood or stone you use. This is something of a harder tast but creates a more permanent item. You can also make them from clay if you want. Second is that i Runes where origionally ment to be interpreted with there facing as a factor. Depending on if there upside down or right side up it can drastically change the advice. For this reason I highly think people should always read them in the way they face. This seems to be the general consensus from the sources i have found. It is however my opinion Glad you mention about the old method of casting by the way. I only recently learned about it.
I find it odd that people put their trust in someonthing that is a more intricate version of Yahtzee. Put your faith in demons and man made idols, it will not get you where you think you want to be after death. I pray you seek the one God who can not be seen, who is perfect, who does not give you what you want but need, who seeks to dwell with His creation, needs no mediators of psychics to contact Him, whos spirit is the mathematical equation to keeping every atom in place and the breath in your lungs. Yeshua HaMashiach or as Americans call him Christ Jesus, was sent to be the perfect sacrifice for all the sins we humans racked up against God's law when He placed us on this planet to take care of it. You believe in laws don't you? Not man made laws to oppress and make money. Gods simple 10 laws to live in unity with one another, to honor each other, to love and grow together. To put away selfish and evil desires and live harmoniously through His spirit. But we continuously over and over in time deny Him and lust after our own desires. Cursing Him, mocking Him, choosing false idols with faces of man to worship. Making foolish games and calling them spiritual. The Bible is so simple, deny self, seek God, live as Christ did, accept the gifts that you are blessed with, live humbly, love your neighbor, walk in truth and love for our God whom created us. We try to make ourselves God's and fortune tellers but only one is truth and only one knows the future. God bless anyone who hears my cries that you make it back home to our Creator after this world experience is over. Do not let religion run you away from the word of God. If so the devil has won. Do not follow after a religion. Seek Him with true desire to know truth. Seek Him and He will answer you in HIS TIMING. Humble yourself and He will reveal Himself to you. You don't need a church, you don't need a preacher, you don't need a fortune teller. Just seek Him and knock at His door with a humble and sincere heart and He will answer. I learned this to be true February of 2018 and I refuse to look at the world the same. I love you so much that I could not scroll past this video and say nothing.
@p.l.rising7672 you clearly don't understand the purpose of reading runes. It's not putting your faith in any gods or idols. It's about working on and with yourself so that you may serve and nurture not only others in your life and community but also to nourish God. A couple of quotes from a very old book I have about the history and interpretation of runes for you to consider before assuming it's evil or even that different from Christianity. "For if the ancient principle 'As above so below' is true, then we are also here to nourish God." "Enjoy your good fortune and remember to share it; the mark of a well-nourished self is the willingness to nourish others." Reading Runes at its core boils down to therapy just without the actual therapist, but the person casting them working on their own spiritual growth. Reading runes is simply looking at the questions you ask in your mind from different perspectives, making you look from other angles and asking questions you might not have otherwise. But basically my point is don't speak from such an obvious position of ignorance. You have zero knowledge of runes or the practice you just assume because it's not Christian in basis that it's evil and witchcraft. When you do some actual research then maybe try to have a discussion.
You are right about making one's own runes... that is how it has been in the olden days, that is still true... but only for those who strongly believe.
This is a wonderful video! I've started out with tarot, but I feel drawn to runes because of my Nordic ancestry. i'd love to make my own set. There is a beach I like to visit that is made of quartz pebbles that would make really nice runes.
Well said. Runes that i used is elder runes ( futhark). And i do agree witg u...as tarot reader, runes has it's own function as divination tools, we can use method of spreads ( whatever u want) it can be one, three, five or six or if u need clarity more u can use whatever u want to read the meaning of themselves. ✨✨ Thank you my family soul, your video is amazing.
The nuance in the Norns spread is in the relationship between the past, present, and future. With the three card Tarot spread, you have a strictly linear sequence of events in chronological order. First A, then after A comes B, and after B comes C. With the Norns, the relationship is very different, because all three sisters exist simultaneously. The past never truly goes away, because it's the foundation that the present is built on. In the same way, the present will never go away, because it's the foundation for the wyrd, or fate. Instead of a sequence of events, like with Tarot, the Norns give you more of a grouping of circumstances.
Hi Scarlet - is there any information you can share about the particular casting cloth you used in this video? I haven't run into this particular hexagonal layout.
I find the Odin's 9-stone method to be fairly good at divining the past, present, and future in general. I've done readings for a handful of people and they've all said that it's fairly accurate and take the advice the stones give them. I read reversals as the total opposite of the rune's connotation. And the varying degrees to which the rune is right-side-up or reversed mean the degree to which the connotation is intended and how much you should focus on that aspect in the reading. It produces some really intricate readings for me.
Please share diagrams with me and their meanings, I am meant for this, I need direction, I will make my own runes by hand of stone, I am very capable with natural elements, stone or wood, i need the design and interpretation, very important to me if you have the time thank you
hey, i was wondering do you make any offerings as well? a lot of people say when you use runes you need to make an offering, i’m a beginner and im scared ill do something wrong
I first learned about runes at the local New Age shop in the very early '90s so I tend to still think of them as a New Age thing to make divination a lot simpler than the Tarot. I guess I shouldn't be surprised to find that they've been drawn into Wicca by now. I'm fascinated with the symbols, especially how they can be used to easily carve a message onto a simple stick.
Make your own runes. It's worth it. Just buy stones from the dollar what and get like paint or a marker and put your own energy into every rune as you draw them. Think about each rune's meaning as you draw it out. If you have stones remaining create compound runes. (Some idiot is going around saying I'm a liar about this but I have multiple sets of runes and multiple books with various rune meanings).
the idea behind these things working for divination and such, is that...........everything has a frequency, your words, sounds, your thoughts, and even letters in writing or runes in this case, everything has a frequency that is emitted, colors have a frequency as well, and it's a combination or synergy of frequencies that will have a specific effect, once that takes time to show its results, or one that is almost immediate.
I've found elder futhark runes are most effective for me. A couple of castings have told me a lot about myself and allowed me to connect to the deep parts of my soul
Runes are mainly associated with Scandinavia, but not only Scandinavia used runes. In Scandinavia it lasted the longest and was not erased by Christianity, as in my country, Poland. Runes are a graphic record of speech, the arrangement of the tongue, lips and teeth. The inscription was modified depending on the language of the country and later transformed into the Latin alphabet. The first inscription in the Polish language were runes. Today, they appear on a Polish 10 PLN banknote. there is a coin of the first Christian king of Poland with a runic inscription - Mieszko. Of course, runes are also used for fortune telling.
Just completed first set of organite runes using clear resin layered with crystal shavings, magnets, key cutting occurs, glow in dark resin multicoloured resin dust, crystal chips and a few Datura seeds. Half Celtic heritage leading me towards Druidic order of golden Dawn, whilst currently working through hermetics, alot of Hebrew and enochian. My first 3 norms spread past hail, present water, future day... It hasnt intuitevely helped me glean much, but does cover exac to weather over last couple of days

I made an axe,as a tool and if necesary a weapon(not a great one since its heavy as hell) And i placed Tyr's rune by carving it and placing juice of one berry i fond,it had a dark red almost balck color So you can do the same with runes really Find good peace of wood Make like "coins" out of it and do the thing i did Maybe you will have to color them few times since its not a natural dye just a juice that leaves color. But in my eyes better then a sharpie.not gonna judge the ones who used a sharpie but this is more natural way :) Do as you see fit All love from Croatia

In Serbia we still saved the oldest 18 runes from the world. Many of these Nordic runes are inspired on the Serbian runes. I'm bout to take my first tattoo of the rune Ud, which is associated with the old Serbian God of the sun: Jarilo.
Yesterday I went to a rocky beach and I got a ton of rocks and I made my own runes I had been studying and writing about them for a while and I figured I wanted to make some so when we went to the beach I was like this is perfect so now I have my own runes and I am learning how to cast them since I basically know what they mean but I don't really know how to cast them so this video was very helpful
Hello, I literally stopped this video and went off to buy my first set of runes. Can I still read runes in the traditional way? Throwing and reading the ones right side up?
You can read runes any way you like. Divination is a language, a VERY personal one. Learn and experiment and practice all you can and you will see your own instinctive language develop. If using all runes the traditional way appeals more to you, maybe that is your language.
I find it odd that people put their trust in someonthing that is a more intricate version of Yahtzee.

I have been drawn to Runes for so long..its like somthing is telling me to learn how to use them..but i dont know shit..lately its more in my mind to learn yiiikes🤔
I notice that you have the Ralph Blum Runes. I too use his Runes and usually buy his set only because they are an affordable set and are flat and clear but I throw away the book that comes with it because I find it to be useless. I love the quartz crystal ones like amethyst but I can't use them because they don't lay flat but I still think they are good for spells but that's about it.
Yes, I agree that Ralph Blum's book is definitely not the best resource. Do you have any rune books you'd recommend? I'm always on the look out for good books about runes. :)
I threw mine away also. There is a lot of Christianity blended with the teachings. I found it to be really useless and quite annoying as it was Christianity that destroyed the old ways of heathen craft.
Scarlet Ravenswood Taking Up The Runes and out of print book, but one that you can still find called Teutonic Magic: The Magical and Spiritual Ways of the Germanic Peoples. Both are excellent! They are the real deal. Check them out. Thanks for your great videos.
I'm playing to practice on rune readings and getting my first runes before the holiday but this Pacific runes tiles have runes on both sides and after seeing your video made me confused on these rune tiles. Any advice for a new rune reader?
Hi Scarlet, I love your channel so much! Let me ask, to the best of your knowledge, which runes would be the best to use in spellwork to bind an enemy from harming you and your loved one?
Runes were traditionally made cut from branches of fruit bearing trees. My last set, I made from acorns. Yes, you can cast them, but also draw for a specific layout. Pulling one rune, is useful to learn them, however I advise you to verify your sources for interpretation, not all books are worth the paper they're printed on! As for websites .. avoid, many mix futharks even. We don't know how they were read in the past, the church saw to that! And please ... do not use that so-called blank rune !!
Love this Scarlet, i've always been interested in all things norse pagan and lately i've become really interested in learning to work with the runes, can you recommend some good books on the subject, great video !
Taking Up The Runes by Paxon and an out of print book Teutonic Magic:The Magical and Spiritual Ways of the Germanic People’s. The latter is out of print, but can be found for about $30 to $50.
Hi, is there a good book or online page you can recomend to learn about their meanings and create my own runes?. When I look randomly onlyne I see the same simbol with diferent meanings and I get confused. Thank you for all the information ,I enjoy your chanel very much💋
How do you make a living doing tarot? I’m working on my tarot reading skills all while trying to figure out how to make it my actual work. I’m so interested in finding out how you have accomplished this.

So when did biblical principles get turned into this?

Beech or oak work best, make sure to sand them. Good luck!
Can you make them out of stones you find?

I agree with you Kacey on each point and Id definitely enjoy to delve deeper into this
I'm a tarot girl too but it's always great to learn about all divination methods, thanks for sharing :)
same with me! giving it a try :) i hope
i dont mess anything up though and do something bad. i knew a lot about tarot before i got my first deck.
I am a Norse pagan and this helped a lot also,
u cat nap on bed “BLESSED”
so we were here for the same reason I see
I made my own runes from pebbles I picked up in the river.
One important thing I never really see talked about except in heathen circles is that Norse mythology seems to suggest that the runes have spirits attached to them, and that they expect something in exchange for being used in magical practice. You kind of need to give them an offering when you use rune stones, or they will probably take their payment from somewhere else in your life - and in that event, you don’t get to choose what they take in exchange!
Great point! Maybe I can address that in a future video about runes. :)
Scarlet Ravenswood thanks! You totally should :)
Hello, do you know of any appropriate offerings one would need to give to the spirits before using the runes?
Hey, do you have any sources for this? I'd just like to state that I've never read anything in any documentation anywhere that states that you have to give offerings to your runes when you use them. I'm not saying your UPG is wrong, but I do believe it's wrong to say that "this is how it is"
You can interpret it how you want though I mean if you place a negative connotation to it like that, then you will manifest it..
When going through my families old things I found a small pouch of these and I couldn't figure out what they were. I remember my great grandmother used them but I was very little so I didn't remember what she used them for. Thank you, great video

The Ogham is one of the more difficult divination methods... but they're not the same as th he Norse runes... they are closer the staves that also are used
I find runes to be quite difficult to use but I am very interested in learning them, on another note I used to live in the woods and recently moved too the desert Arizona specifically and this land is so filled with wonder and mysterious energy and spirits
i'm super glad that you made this video because i've been having a hard time connecting to my runes due to them being so different from the tarot. i'm excited to try a spread or two :3
Was trying to find out a tutorial but I got so much more in return through these videos, thank I'll try practicing the spread you mentioned :)
... I made a set correctly, years ago :
You need , ideally;
in Sringtime, take a live branch off a fruit tree, between one and two inches diameter,
- and cut it into the 24 for Elder Futhark.
[ and you wouldn't believe who I made them for ................... ]
I used an unnatural medium. I had a feeling I should buy some black glass drops at the dollar store. $1 for like 50 of them. A week later, I started learning about rune divination coincidentally. So, I took my engraving tool and started engraving runes onto the glass drops. They turned out really badass. The frosting that the engraving tool made on the surface of the smooth glass turned out grey, so there are shallow grey valleys making the runes on them. I sleep with them under my head or leave them on my altar when I'm not using them.
@@AlbuquerqueBandit ...you got something there....
- you might wanna see 'FREYIA NORLING' channel , for her runes show.
what a hoot.
Yes do tutorials.
I am also a ritual minimalist.
I often use the things I find in nature at my favorite ritual sites.
Your channel is such a blessing! I hope you come back soon :)
Ever read the Old English Rune Poem? Futhorc was pretty similar to futhark. The Ing rune interest me with Ing being identified as the constellation Boötes with his wain being Ursa Major
Thank you for doing this video. I'm picking up the runes again and this was a really informative introduction.
Glad you liked the video. :)
Thank u so much I'm on a journey to aquire all knowledge on norse paganism I've dived in fully and given myself fully just need all the knowledge
All in all a pretty good video. Two things I would like to say. First in regards to making your own runes, you can also carve the sticks, bits of wood or stone you use. This is something of a harder tast but creates a more permanent item. You can also make them from clay if you want.
Second is that i Runes where origionally ment to be interpreted with there facing as a factor. Depending on if there upside down or right side up it can drastically change the advice. For this reason I highly think people should always read them in the way they face. This seems to be the general consensus from the sources i have found. It is however my opinion
Glad you mention about the old method of casting by the way. I only recently learned about it.
I find it odd that people put their trust in someonthing that is a more intricate version of Yahtzee.
Put your faith in demons and man made idols, it will not get you where you think you want to be after death.
I pray you seek the one God who can not be seen, who is perfect, who does not give you what you want but need, who seeks to dwell with His creation, needs no mediators of psychics to contact Him, whos spirit is the mathematical equation to keeping every atom in place and the breath in your lungs.
Yeshua HaMashiach or as Americans call him Christ Jesus, was sent to be the perfect sacrifice for all the sins we humans racked up against God's law when He placed us on this planet to take care of it. You believe in laws don't you? Not man made laws to oppress and make money. Gods simple 10 laws to live in unity with one another, to honor each other, to love and grow together. To put away selfish and evil desires and live harmoniously through His spirit. But we continuously over and over in time deny Him and lust after our own desires. Cursing Him, mocking Him, choosing false idols with faces of man to worship. Making foolish games and calling them spiritual.
The Bible is so simple, deny self, seek God, live as Christ did, accept the gifts that you are blessed with, live humbly, love your neighbor, walk in truth and love for our God whom created us.
We try to make ourselves God's and fortune tellers but only one is truth and only one knows the future. God bless anyone who hears my cries that you make it back home to our Creator after this world experience is over.
Do not let religion run you away from the word of God. If so the devil has won. Do not follow after a religion. Seek Him with true desire to know truth. Seek Him and He will answer you in HIS TIMING. Humble yourself and He will reveal Himself to you. You don't need a church, you don't need a preacher, you don't need a fortune teller. Just seek Him and knock at His door with a humble and sincere heart and He will answer. I learned this to be true February of 2018 and I refuse to look at the world the same.
I love you so much that I could not scroll past this video and say nothing.
@p.l.rising7672 you clearly don't understand the purpose of reading runes. It's not putting your faith in any gods or idols. It's about working on and with yourself so that you may serve and nurture not only others in your life and community but also to nourish God. A couple of quotes from a very old book I have about the history and interpretation of runes for you to consider before assuming it's evil or even that different from Christianity.
"For if the ancient principle 'As above so below' is true, then we are also here to nourish God."
"Enjoy your good fortune and remember to share it; the mark of a well-nourished self is the willingness to nourish others."
Reading Runes at its core boils down to therapy just without the actual therapist, but the person casting them working on their own spiritual growth. Reading runes is simply looking at the questions you ask in your mind from different perspectives, making you look from other angles and asking questions you might not have otherwise. But basically my point is don't speak from such an obvious position of ignorance. You have zero knowledge of runes or the practice you just assume because it's not Christian in basis that it's evil and witchcraft. When you do some actual research then maybe try to have a discussion.
You are right about making one's own runes... that is how it has been in the olden days, that is still true... but only for those who strongly believe.
*Thank you for your wonderful videos, you can see that they were made with love!* ✨💖✨
This is a wonderful video! I've started out with tarot, but I feel drawn to runes because of my Nordic ancestry. i'd love to make my own set. There is a beach I like to visit that is made of quartz pebbles that would make really nice runes.
Runes help me in my day to day. Drawing it on my left hand. And rune "formulas" help with my mental health aspect.
Thank you so much. Runes are so interesting and I always wanted to try it out.
Yes Scarlett I would love to see you do more on the runes I hear they can be read in many was , I thank you for this show you did today.
I really liked your video, thank you 😊
Well said. Runes that i used is elder runes ( futhark). And i do agree witg u...as tarot reader, runes has it's own function as divination tools, we can use method of spreads ( whatever u want) it can be one, three, five or six or if u need clarity more u can use whatever u want to read the meaning of themselves. ✨✨
Thank you my family soul, your video is amazing.
The nuance in the Norns spread is in the relationship between the past, present, and future. With the three card Tarot spread, you have a strictly linear sequence of events in chronological order. First A, then after A comes B, and after B comes C. With the Norns, the relationship is very different, because all three sisters exist simultaneously. The past never truly goes away, because it's the foundation that the present is built on. In the same way, the present will never go away, because it's the foundation for the wyrd, or fate. Instead of a sequence of events, like with Tarot, the Norns give you more of a grouping of circumstances.
Hi Scarlet - is there any information you can share about the particular casting cloth you used in this video? I haven't run into this particular hexagonal layout.
I found out that it's called a Megatron's Cube.
Runes and tarot are excellent together. Totally run a five card five stone spread and see how it all syncs up.
I find the Odin's 9-stone method to be fairly good at divining the past, present, and future in general. I've done readings for a handful of people and they've all said that it's fairly accurate and take the advice the stones give them. I read reversals as the total opposite of the rune's connotation. And the varying degrees to which the rune is right-side-up or reversed mean the degree to which the connotation is intended and how much you should focus on that aspect in the reading. It produces some really intricate readings for me.
Please share diagrams with me and their meanings, I am meant for this, I need direction, I will make my own runes by hand of stone, I am very capable with natural elements, stone or wood, i need the design and interpretation, very important to me if you have the time thank you
@@Wolf-pi5sr Check out the video Harmony Nice made for rune divination
@@AlbuquerqueBandit send me the link bro
@@Wolf-pi5sr I don't have all this stuff bookmarked, look up "harmony nice runes" on youtube. No doubt you'll find it right away
hey, i was wondering do you make any offerings as well? a lot of people say when you use runes you need to make an offering, i’m a beginner and im scared ill do something wrong
I first learned about runes at the local New Age shop in the very early '90s so I tend to still think of them as a New Age thing to make divination a lot simpler than the Tarot.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised to find that they've been drawn into Wicca by now.
I'm fascinated with the symbols, especially how they can be used to easily carve a message onto a simple stick.
Make your own runes. It's worth it. Just buy stones from the dollar what and get like paint or a marker and put your own energy into every rune as you draw them. Think about each rune's meaning as you draw it out. If you have stones remaining create compound runes. (Some idiot is going around saying I'm a liar about this but I have multiple sets of runes and multiple books with various rune meanings).
I am from both Buffalo and Sweden. Cool you mention Sigtuna!
Very informative, thank you!
the idea behind these things working for divination and such, is that...........everything has a frequency, your words, sounds, your thoughts, and even letters in writing or runes in this case, everything has a frequency that is emitted, colors have a frequency as well, and it's a combination or synergy of frequencies that will have a specific effect, once that takes time to show its results, or one that is almost immediate.
I've found elder futhark runes are most effective for me. A couple of castings have told me a lot about myself and allowed me to connect to the deep parts of my soul
Thanks for good content, Insights, information.
Runes are mainly associated with Scandinavia, but not only Scandinavia used runes. In Scandinavia it lasted the longest and was not erased by Christianity, as in my country, Poland. Runes are a graphic record of speech, the arrangement of the tongue, lips and teeth. The inscription was modified depending on the language of the country and later transformed into the Latin alphabet. The first inscription in the Polish language were runes. Today, they appear on a Polish 10 PLN banknote. there is a coin of the first Christian king of Poland with a runic inscription - Mieszko. Of course, runes are also used for fortune telling.
Great video very informative!

Just completed first set of organite runes using clear resin layered with crystal shavings, magnets, key cutting occurs, glow in dark resin multicoloured resin dust, crystal chips and a few Datura seeds. Half Celtic heritage leading me towards Druidic order of golden Dawn, whilst currently working through hermetics, alot of Hebrew and enochian.

In the 19th century there were some Englishmen who had runes inscribed on their gravestones.
Really excited to tap into my ancient roots of Germanic paganism
Thank you so much!!! You are absolutely beautiful and i love your video.
I made an axe,as a tool and if necesary a weapon(not a great one since its heavy as hell)
And i placed Tyr's rune by carving it and placing juice of one berry i fond,it had a dark red almost balck color
So you can do the same with runes really
Find good peace of wood
Make like "coins" out of it and do the thing i did
Maybe you will have to color them few times since its not a natural dye just a juice that leaves color.
But in my eyes better then a sharpie.not gonna judge the ones who used a sharpie but this is more natural way :)
Do as you see fit

More about sigils, please!
Shouldve mentioned that its important to read from right to left
I really enjoy your video. Thank you. I'm from Brazil.
In Serbia we still saved the oldest 18 runes from the world. Many of these Nordic runes are inspired on the Serbian runes. I'm bout to take my first tattoo of the rune Ud, which is associated with the old Serbian God of the sun: Jarilo.
I’m pretty sure sigils made of runes are called bindrunes
Yesterday I went to a rocky beach and I got a ton of rocks and I made my own runes I had been studying and writing about them for a while and I figured I wanted to make some so when we went to the beach I was like this is perfect so now I have my own runes and I am learning how to cast them since I basically know what they mean but I don't really know how to cast them so this video was very helpful
Yes! Thank you, would love to see more for sure. I have a set just havent really been able to use them much
i made my own rune set with stones a while back, and i’m rly wanting to get to know them better and use them
Hello, I literally stopped this video and went off to buy my first set of runes. Can I still read runes in the traditional way? Throwing and reading the ones right side up?
You can read runes any way you like. Divination is a language, a VERY personal one. Learn and experiment and practice all you can and you will see your own instinctive language develop. If using all runes the traditional way appeals more to you, maybe that is your language.
Beautiful curly hair!
Sigil creating would be a very interesting video to watch.!
Thank you for the fascinating upload
I really want to use runes as offerings to Odin and maybe even use runes as prompts for my music.
Runes is Odin's offering for people. So such using is wrong. You have give to Odin beer and meat.
Loki is laughing. Thank you. He was in a bad mood. He's better, now.
Thaanks so much Scarlet :)
I’ve got those same runes bought it today and love them although one is chipped cause it’s ceramic I like the feel of them in my hands.

Thank you for the info!
I love how you put health sub in the back of the vid
Thank you for sharing this video, I feel so drawn to runes for some reason. I hope to make a set using ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs!
I would love more on this topic! Thank you 💜
I have been drawn to Runes for so long..its like somthing is telling me to learn how to use them..but i dont know shit..lately its more in my mind to learn yiiikes🤔
I notice that you have the Ralph Blum Runes. I too use his Runes and usually buy his set only because they are an affordable set and are flat and clear but I throw away the book that comes with it because I find it to be useless. I love the quartz crystal ones like amethyst but I can't use them because they don't lay flat but I still think they are good for spells but that's about it.
Yes, I agree that Ralph Blum's book is definitely not the best resource. Do you have any rune books you'd recommend? I'm always on the look out for good books about runes. :)
I threw mine away also. There is a lot of Christianity blended with the teachings. I found it to be really useless and quite annoying as it was Christianity that destroyed the old ways of heathen craft.
Scarlet Ravenswood Taking Up The Runes and out of print book, but one that you can still find called Teutonic Magic: The Magical and Spiritual Ways of the Germanic Peoples. Both are excellent! They are the real deal. Check them out. Thanks for your great videos.
Hi Scarlett. Did you make your runes? And what did you make them out of? They are beautiful!
I've always gravitated towards the Elder (runes).
I love runes. I find then to be easier than tarot cards
I'm playing to practice on rune readings and getting my first runes before the holiday but this Pacific runes tiles have runes on both sides and after seeing your video made me confused on these rune tiles. Any advice for a new rune reader?
Thank you for your videos. I would love to know more about making sigils with runes.
Hi Scarlet, I love your channel so much! Let me ask, to the best of your knowledge, which runes would be the best to use in spellwork to bind an enemy from harming you and your loved one?
Pagan minimalist:) I loved that
Yera, Nauthiz, Kenaz? That’s a pretty intense reading you gave yourself!
Did you ever create a video on creating sigils?
I definitely plan on doing a video on how to create sigils in the future. :)
Thanks!
Jera + blank card breaks the game (only Tobi players will get it)
Does that reading mean every year you have a need for fire in your life?🤔🥰
I made my own rune stones made of rocks and I'm going to try this out for now on
Runes were traditionally made cut from branches of fruit bearing trees. My last set, I made from acorns.
Yes, you can cast them, but also draw for a specific layout.
Pulling one rune, is useful to learn them, however I advise you to verify your sources for interpretation, not all books are worth the paper they're printed on! As for websites .. avoid, many mix futharks even.
We don't know how they were read in the past, the church saw to that!
And please ... do not use that so-called blank rune !!
Love this Scarlet, i've always been interested in all things norse pagan and lately i've become really interested in learning to work with the runes, can you recommend some good books on the subject, great video !
Thanks! Here's a list of book recommendations if you're interested in learning more about runes. :)
Where is the list ?
Taking Up The Runes by Paxon and an out of print book Teutonic Magic:The Magical and Spiritual Ways of the Germanic People’s. The latter is out of print, but can be found for about $30 to $50.
Thank you for this lovely video :)
Hi, is there a good book or online page you can recomend to learn about their meanings and create my own runes?. When I look randomly onlyne I see the same simbol with diferent meanings and I get confused. Thank you for all the information ,I enjoy your chanel very much💋
