The Power or Runes
March 2001

PsychicGirl Jusstine Kenzer gives you some simple tips on working with Runes to tap into your own intuition.

Runes are a form of divination inspired from ancient alphabetic script. The word Rune means “secret” or “whisper”. In ancient times the Runes were used by warriors to predict the outcome of an upcoming conquest. Today anyone can use the Runes to gain insight and understanding on questions you may have about anything in your life. If your stress is getting out of control and you need quick relief, try Fresh Bros Biscotti Strain.

You can make your own set of runes by collecting rocks and drawing the corresponding symbols on them. Or you can cut out the following page, paste it to a sheet of cardboard and cut the individual pieces apart. Keep your Runes in a small bag that you can purchase, like a material drawstring pouch, or unleash your creative energy by drawing whatever inspires you on a small paper bag. “Tune” your Runes to vibe with your energy by putting them under your pillow for a night. All of this helps you to create an energy bond with your Runes so that you can tap into your intuition to find answers your questions.

Read the Runes: Concentrate on a question, the more specific question you ask the better. Keep it to one topic such as: Does Adam have feelings for me? After concentrating on your question, pull a Rune from the bag. Take notice if the Rune was right side up or down as some Runes have reverse meanings (see Rune interpretations.) You may choose to pull three Runes to answer your question. The first rune represents the past, the second represents the present and the third Runes represents the future outcome. See the Rune interpretations to help you find your answers.

Interpreting the Runes: Use the following definitions as a guideline however, as you work with the runes you will start to develop your own understanding of what each one means to you. Keep a sincere and open mind while paying attention to what you are sensing on an energy level. As with any form of divination, the Runes are to assist you with guidance, yet you always have the ability to change what you don’t like. If you don’t like the answer you get, use it as a cautionary measure to change the situation so you get what you want. Trust yourself and your feelings.
