under construction be patient!

Since I've put this alphabet up here I'm going to give the rune meanings in regular alphabet form with the exception of the Wyrd. Runes are a simple form of divination used by lots of people. You can make your own runes and I suggest that you do if you intend to try them out. I like to use the runes when doing candle magick. I usually carve the rune into the candle, I feel that it adds a bit of power to a spell. When casting the runes for divination you would of course ignore the corresponding letter of the alphabet but I included it here because some people like to write their names in runes or spells. Some of the runes are repeated for the alphabet, this isn't a mistake that's just the way it is for this particular runic alphabet. There are plenty more out there than this, by all means find one you like or buy a book on the subject.
