Welcome to A to Z of Healing with Isheeria’s Healing Circles.
[R] is for Runes
Today I am writing about something which has been a subject which I find exciting! Maybe because of my fascination with language, communication, spirituality & divination!
Runes are a Divination tool, made of a set of 24 ancient alphabetic symbols, known as the Runic Script.
Runes are made with various materials – You can find sets made of stone, glass, cards, pebbles, etc.
(This is one of the aspects I enjoy about working with Runes – that I can make my own set, using any material).
Runes were developed as pictograms, and were normally carved in to stone or wood. Hence, they consist mostly of straight lines – but over centuries, like all things evolve, the Runic Alphabets became more cursive.
Runes means ‘mystery’, ‘secret’, ‘hidden’, and ‘to whisper’, and are a powerful divinatory & magical system>
Each Runic alphabet is associated with an object, as well as being a symbol for something deeper, more esoteric meaning.
Each Rune is also associated with a Norse God & with a gemstone, a flower, a tree.
The Reading with the Runes is similar to that of the Tarot Deck, with various spreads.
So for a reading, we cast the Runes or pick a random one after shuffling, and then read the interpretations and apply the wisdom and guidance to the question.
Have you had a Runes Divination experience? Leave me a comment below.
Blessed Be!

So happy to hear from you. Thanks for dropping in Jean 🙂 I find they both have this very positive feeling and experience – i enjoy meditating with them.
I have always been fascinated by Runes. I saw some beautiful semi precious stones Rune Sets in Poland and was so tempted to buy them! I have never had a Rune Reading done. Maybe I’ll get it done by you, Ish 🙂
I’d love to do a reading for you M. Anytime 🙂
