Description
Runes and the Gods Oracle is a divination deck inspired by Norse lore.
A full-colour 50-card deck that is oriented around the runic alphabet and the Aesir and Vanir deities of the Norse pantheon, it draws upon the Hávamál and Eddas to give detailed descriptions of the runes, including their origin and meanings. The deck gives interpretations for each card, emphasising their significance for relationships and career advice, and it provides rituals and unique card spreads.
The runic futharks contain the secret wisdom of the pre-Christian cultures of northern Europe. While the runes have been used as letters in Norse writing systems, they also hold deeper significance as symbols of the mysteries and tools of divinatory and magical practice.
Séléné explores Norse mythology to trace the physical origins of the runes as well as their mystical and secret nature. Drawing upon the Hávamál and Eddas, she invokes the Aesir and Vanir deities with the runes, allowing them to interact in revealing ways. Each card, illustrated by Thyonesca, represents either a rune or a god. The guidebook provides interpretations for each card while contextualising the rune or god within its mythological and magical setting. The author gives divinatory meanings for each card with specific focus on the reader’s relationships and career.
The author also provides instructions for performing rituals that allow readers to connect with the power of each rune or deity and employ its magic. While the runecaster may develop their own way to consult the cards, Séléné provides a number of possible spreads, including a single-card draw, the Spread of the Three Norns, and the Ingwaz Spread.
