This method of reading the runes is more complex than the
previous ones. It gives a very detailed view of the querent’s current
situation and what has brought them to this point. There are four result
runes, giving a thorough grasp of the dynamics of the outcome. Obviously
this type of rune cast should not be undertaken until you are fairly experienced
as it needs knowledge and experience to practice effectively. Pick out
16 runes in the normal way, replacing the remainder in the pouch. Lay
out the runes in their pairs as in the diagram. This is an excellent method
to use when dealing with partnership issues because you can allocate the
first rune of each pair to the querent and the second of the pair to the
querent’s lover, business partner, etc.
- 1 and 2 Strengths The first two runes indicate what strengths the querent
has available and how they might be used to solve the problem.
- 3 and 4 Symptoms Runes 3 and 4 show how the querent is coping with the situation physically,
mentally and emotionally.
- 5 and 6 Past Runes 5 and 6 relate to the past and the underlying reasons that have brought
the querent to this point.
- 7 and 8 Obstacles The next two runes show what obstacles lie in the querent's path.
