Divination has been a growing fascination of mine over the past year, and I have especially been drawn to learning more about runes. I find the whole system of 25 different symbols so interesting; the ways those symbols can be arranged, their different meanings.
One thing I have learned is that the best tools for divination are the ones that you make yourself or that are gifted to you, so I decided to try my hand at it.
Here are the steps I followed:
1. Choose 25 rocks - I chose stone for my runes, so I had to collect 25 stones in total. You could also use small nuts you've gathered or pieces of wood, just be sure to ask for permission before collecting them.
2. Wash them in warm, soapy water - To get my stones ready, I washed all of the dirt off of them in warm, soapy water and rinsed.
3. Cleanse them in salt water - Once washed from the physical dirt, you need to wash the psychic dirt and negativity off. To do this, I soaked the stones in salt water for at least one hour.
4. Let them air-dry - Once cleansed, I put the stones on a towel to air-dry completely.
5. Draw one rune per stone - Once the stones are totally dry, on the flattest side of the rock, draw the rune. I used a black Tombow pen, but you could also use paint or a Sharpie pen.
6. Charge before use - Before the runes are totally ready for use, they need to be charged. To do this, I left the runes on my altar, in full view of the moonlight, for a full lunar cycle. If you don't have a full moon cycle to wait, consider charging them with your own energy.
Have you ever made your own runes before? What did you use?
