Learning to read the Runes
The first step in learning to read the runes must be to get
to know the runes themselves. This doesn't necessarily mean memorizing
interpretations out of a book, although the literal meanings of the rune names
should be memorized as a starting point. Instead, take one rune each day,
starting with Fehu & ending with ožila, & meditate on it. There are several
exercises you can do daily to aid in this: word association with the rune names,
visualization, physical connection with the rune, etc.
Always keep a record of your rune readings in a journal. Although it's not
quite as easy to draw a nine-rune cast as it is to record a tarot spread, do try
& make the effort. Record which runes landed face up & face down, what you
think each one meant in the context of the reading, & what your general
impressions were. Even if a reading makes no sense to you when you do it, its
meaning might become clearer later on, & this will encourage you to pay closer
attention to your instincts (even if you are sure you're wrong!).
The Three Rune method: This method is helpful in getting an
overall fix on a given situation, & providing some idea about a future
outcome. How much information you get out of it will depend on how much time
you spend analyzing the reading & how well you understand the runes. Pull one
rune & lay it down face up. This rune represents the first Norn - those
events in the past which affect the current situation. Pull another rune &
lay it next to the first. This is the second Norn - the present situation,
which frequently to a choice that needs to be made. Pull a third & lay it
down. This is the third Norn, & the most difficult rune to interpret. In
some cases it might represent the person's inevitable fate. In others, it might
simply be the end result if the current situation remains unchanged, or even
just one of several results. You must rely on your instincts to decide which is
the case.
The Nine Rune Cast: This
method will give a detailed overview of a person's situation, providing insight
into where they are in terms of their spiritual path, clarifying the options &
possible outcomes available to them. Nine is a somewhat arbitrary number - you
may use any number that feels comfortable to you. Nine is commonly used as its
multiples were magically significant numbers to the also it is a large enough
number to provide a detailed reading, but not so large that it over-complicates
things. It is also easy for most people to hold nine runes in their hands.
Pick nine runes from the pouch. Hold them between your hands for a moment, &
focus on your question (if you have one). Then scatter the runes on the table,
floor, or cloth if you have one. Read the runes which land face up first.
These will relate to the current situation & the circumstances, which led to
it. How the runes are read is largely subjective, but in general, runes lying
in the centre are the most immediately relevant, while those lying around the
edges are less important, or represent more general influences. Runes that are
close together or even touching often compliment each other, or may even
represent a single thing, while runes which fall on opposite sides of the
pattern frequently represent opposing influences. Occasionally, a rune will
land completely off the cloth or fall off the table. Some people consider such
runes to be particularly significant, while others ignore them completely.
Once you have looked at the runes which landed face up (& remembered which
ones they are), turn over the rest without moving them from their positions.
These represent outside or future influences, & will point to possible
outcomes. It is up to you to decide what the various positions & patterns in
a reading mean, but once you have come up with a few general rules, try to stick
with them. However, rune readings by their nature are fluid, subjective things
so try not to impose too much order on your readings by inventing set meanings
for every triangle, square & tetrahedron. Runes are like people - you never
know how they will get along together until you introduce them. Just look at
the patterns & relationships that appear in each reading & see what
interpretations make sense to you.
Once the reading is done, I usually like to pull one more rune out of the pouch.
This helps to confirm (or sometimes dispute) the conclusions drawn from the
reading, & may provide a focus or centre to an otherwise scattered &
complicated cast
