Runes, unlike cards, are designed to answer a specific question. This must be remembered when starting fortune-telling. If the cards are good for abstract questions (for example, "what will happen to me this month?"), Then the runes are most effective for clear questions (for example, "how to bring such and such a situation to such and such a result?"). Runes can be used for general topics, but it is better to start learning fortune telling with specifics.

Instructions
Step 1
Fortune telling runes can be bought at the store or made yourself. And the second option is better, because the set will not have someone else's energy, and the connection with it will be stronger. If there is a purchased set, then first it must be consecrated with the help of the elements.
Step 2
Before you start fortune-telling, you need to set up a connection with the runes. This will take two to three days, during which you should put the kit under your pillow at night or carry it with you throughout the day.
Step 3
Before fortune-telling, you need to formulate the question as accurately as possible. And there is an important point here. Runes respond to a subconscious desire or anxiety, only they understand them as a question, and not at all what is called in words. Therefore, you need utmost honesty with yourself so that there is no confusion in the alignment.
Step 4
There are fewer layouts for runic fortune-telling than for tarot or playing cards. Mainly because the runes are multifaceted, and 8 basic layouts are used to clarify any issue. There are also author's layouts, they can be found on thematic forums. But it is better to start with simple questions and one-three-pronged layouts, until you have gained experience in understanding the meanings of the runes.
Step 5
There is no single correct interpretation for a particular rune. The meaning will change depending on the subject matter of the question. And accuracy in understanding is achieved only by the practice of fortune-telling. However, at first, it is worth relying on the interpretations of professional runologists, for example, Platov or Blum. To interpret irreversible runes, you can report other runes and read the meaning in a general context. It must be remembered that irreversible runes are not inverted.
Step 6
Separately, it should be said about the Wyrd rune, the so-called Odin rune. Initially, it was not in the Elder Futhark, it was added only in 1980. Many practitioners exclude this rune from the set, because consider it useless in divination. Others use "yes-no" in the scenario, interpreting it as the unwillingness of the runes to answer the question. Here everyone decides for himself.
Step 7
You should not ask the runes the same question, changing the wording in the hope of waiting for an answer pleasing to the fortuneteller. Only the first will be the truthful answer, and the rest will bring nothing but confusion.
