Here again are three basic forms of casting runes:
- The Single Rune Draw: This is the simplest form of rune casting. You draw a single rune from the bag and read its meaning. This method is often used for quick yes/no answers or to gain a quick insight into a situation.
- The Three Rune Spread: This method involves drawing three runes from the bag. The first rune represents the past, the second represents the present, and the third represents the future. This spread can provide a more detailed understanding of a situation.
- The Runic Cross: This is a more complex form of rune casting. It involves drawing six runes and placing them in a cross formation. The runes represent the past, present, future, what’s on your mind, your unconscious thoughts, and the final outcome. This spread can provide a comprehensive overview of a situation.
The Younger Futhark, being a simplified version of the Elder Futhark with only 16 runes, has deep historical and cultural significance, so it’s always a good idea to spend some time studying the meanings of these runes before attempting to interpret them.
