Elemental Runes
One night I woke up with a start and had a vision of a strange wise man
with all these symbols swirling around him, and he was telling me to collect them
and write them down, that I needed to put them on stones.
I immediately wrote them down in my notebook that I keep by my bed, and it didn't dawn on me
until later that day that they were actually very effective Rune Stones!
A friend of mine helped me develop a way to get the symbols
painted on the stones, and we tested them out for some time. They worked very well!
Here is a list of the stones and what they represent:
- Water
- Air
- Fire
- Spirit
- Earth, Stone
- Spark
- Metal
- Balance
- Need
- Growth
- Life
- Drought
- Flood
- Earthquake
- Volcano
- Typhoon/Hurricane
- Tsunami
- Snow, Freeze
- Tornado, Chaos
- Metorite; Explosion
- Clouds, Fog
- Sunny
- Eclipse
- Rain, Storm
- Moon
- Avalanche
About Viking (Futhark) Runes in General
Runes! What are they? Why do people consult them for guidance in their daily lives?
Well, runes are actually a very old way of "connecting" to the Powers of the Universe,
and to the Inner Self that might resonate to the spiritual side of Life.
They are an ancient alphabet once used by Vikings, Germanic tribes,
Celtic warriors, and wise men of Anglo-Saxon England in the Middle Ages.
They are used as an Oracle by many today to gain insight and understanding of Self
and the Holy Presence of God and Goddess.
Runes, tarot cards, crystal balls, and the like, are all divination tools
to help a person step out of their problems and worries, and try to gain guidance
from the outside powers that may influence their lives.
They are consulted with questions about every day issues, future prospects, and unknown factors
that come into play in all of our lives. They can be understood as deeply,
or as significantly, as one desires. It all depends on how willing a person is
to open their heart in order to hear the message coming to them.
The use of the Runes is actually fairly simple, and similar to doing a Tarot card reading.
You can "cast or throw" the runes, or you can choose them
out of a bag randomly to lay out in a pattern and depending on whatever
"spread" you are using, you read the runes in answer to your query.
Each rune is a symbol that holds special meaning and power, and the interpretation
of these symbols is what gives the answer to the query at the moment.
You can do a daily casting, or just when you feel inclined to consult the Oracle for Higher guidance in a given situation.

The following pictures are a few samples of the Stone/Crystal Runes sets.
These 26 stone runes sets are made under special "Runes Rituals" under the cycles of the Moon.
These sets include a velour corded bag for safe-keeping, and a quick reference sheet,
all for $45. Leather bags are available for an additional $15.
The Runes can be available in amethyst, rose quartz, jade, galaxite, sodalite, rhodonite,
tiger-eye,(golden and blue), clear quartz, galaxite, red jasper, hemitite,

I also make runes sets "to order", so if you have a request, just drop me an email and we'll
see what we can come up with. Enough time should be allowed for the creation
when ordering your runes sets since they are each made to order.
