Runes & Rune sets

The runes are a set of symbols which are inscribed onto small discs which are usually made from wood, stone or crystals. They are often stored in a bag and a person will randomly pick out a certain number of the runes whilst focussing on an issue or question. Runic symbols can also be used to magickally empower an object or spell, for example they can be added to talismans to draw particular energies to the carrier or engraved onto candles prior to spellworking. More information on the meanings of the runic symbols can be found here.

Spirit of Old rune sets are handcrafted to a very high standard and can be purchased with a gift bag (available separately).
