Wooden Rune Set (Elder Thurthark Runes)

This is a hand-carved set of 25 runes (one is blank) that comes with a velvet satin bag plus a double sized A4 information sheet which describes each symbol in a few sentences.

These runes are made from Indian Sheesham Wood. Each side of the wood has been smoothed and the sides are rounded. The runic symbols are engraved into the wood and the engraving is in a gold colour.

They are comfortable and light to hold in the palm of your hand and are slightly larger than the usual crystal runes.

The most important thing when choosing a rune set is to pick one that you feel appeals to you personally, one that you will enjoy using and holding.

Runes are an ancient form of oracle used by those seeking advice. Runes have a long history, dating back to ancient use by Germanic and Nordic tribes, and are still widely used in today’s society.

Size of Runes: Mostly between 3.5cm at the widest point. This set of runes is based on one of the oldest types of runes, the old Germanic runic alphabet 'Elder Thurthark'. It contains 25 runes, the first six of which spell out the word 'furthark'.
