🪄 What is Rune Casting?

🧙‍♀️ Rune Casting: A Tool for Divination Rune casting is not fortune-telling in the predictive sense. Rather, it is a reflective practice—similar to pulling Tarot cards or reading I Ching hexagrams. The runes are typically drawn from a pouch and laid out in patterns or "spreads" to explore a situation’s energetic flow or receive guidance. Some popular casting methods include: Single Rune Draw – Simple and ideal for daily guidance. Three Rune Spread – Often interpreted as Past, Present, and Future. Runic Cross – A more detailed layout for complex questions. Each rune, such as Fehu (abundance), Uruz (strength), or Ansuz (communication), is interpreted based on its symbolic meaning and the context of the question. 🏛️ Different Schools & Traditions Modern rune casting has evolved into various schools: Asatru Tradition – Focuses on Norse mythology and spirituality. Eclectic Paganism – Incorporates runes into a broader magickal or Wiccan framework. Chaos Magic – Uses runes in a psychological-symbolic sense for subconscious programming. Psychospiritual Approach – Views runes as archetypes similar to Carl Jung’s concept of collective unconscious. 🧿 Similar Divinatory Practices Rune casting aligns with a global lineage of symbolic divination: Tradition Tool Used Example Symbol Norse Runes (Futhark) ᚠ (Fehu) Chinese I Ching Hexagrams Indian Nadi / Cowrie Shell Shell patterns Western Tarot Cards Major Arcana African Ifá Divination Opele chain Despite cultural differences, the goal is the same: insight through symbolism. 🌌 Conclusion Rune casting is not just about seeking answers—it's about aligning with your inner voice, ancient wisdom, and the rhythm of the cosmos. As you cast the runes, you begin a silent conversation with the universe, one symbol at a time.
