Viking Runes
Choose your rune set according to the material, weight and the way you like to draw the runes. Wood, Amethyst, Rose Quartz, Aventurine, Onyx, Tiger's Eye or Rock Crystal offer very different sensations in the hand and on the table.
Most modern divination sets use the 24 signs of the Elder Futhark. For a first practice, start with a legible set whose symbols are clearly engraved and that is easy to mix in its pouch.
Wood offers a lightweight set that is easy to handle. Stones provide more weight, texture and presence. If you choose a mineral, the Mineral Grimoire then lets you learn more about the material without mixing this choice with the rune reading itself.
To learn the signs and spreads, see Viking Runes: History, Meanings and Reading Guide. This collection remains focused on choosing and purchasing a set.
