Witches’ Runes in their current form as a divination tool emerged in the late 20th century, influenced by the revival of interest in paganism and occult practices. Unlike the traditional Norse runes, which date back to the early centuries of the Common Era, the Witches’ Runes were created to specifically cater to the needs and beliefs of modern witches and pagans.
Casting the Witches’ Runes: A common method of divination is to cast the runes onto a cloth or a flat surface. Focus on a question or situation, then scatter the runes. Pay attention to which runes are face up, their positions, and their relationships to each other.
Single Rune Draw: For a quick insight or daily guidance, draw a single rune from your bag. Reflect on the symbol's meaning and how it relates to your current circumstances or query.
Witches’ Rune Spreads: Like tarot card spreads, rune spreads involve laying out runes in a specific pattern. Each position in the pattern corresponds to a different aspect of the question or situation. Popular spreads include the Three Rune Spread (representing past, present, and future) and the Five Rune Cross (offering a more detailed insight).
