The Runes and the Viking Oracle

Before we enter the concept of the Viking oracle, we must answer the question: what are runes? They are symbols that conformed the alphabet of the Germanic culture. These inscriptions date from the beginning of the first century to the twentieth century as a method of communication. They have a lot of spiritual charge, it is said that their origin comes from the same Germanic gods. Today they are known as part of a divinatory method, an oracle, which like tarot cards and astrology, seeks to answer our spiritual questions.

The Runes:

Below is a list of the alphabet:

Each Rune has a different symbology. If we want to learn the techniques of runs with runes the first step is to buy them together with a bag to store them and a small tapestry or handkerchief to make the roll over it. It is important that the runes be made of wood or stone. We can do them ourselves, this intensifies the energy of them. As the tarotista has to feel the deck the person performing the rune run must also feel at ease with them.

Runnings:

The ways of throwing can be varied. We will see the three main ones:

• Shot with a rune: It is known as the Odin Shot. It is useful when we need a simple “yes” or “no” answer. Like tarot cards, if the stone is right then the meaning is positive and if it is reversed it is negative. It is important to note that there are runes that do not have rights or backhand and when we touch one of them we must make the decision to remove another or accept that there is no apparent response at the moment.
• Three runes: The Triad is a roll that serves to understand present, past and future of a particular fact. We have to align them, the one that leaves in the left position is the future, the one in the middle is the present and the one that comes to the right is the past. We must pay close attention to the right or inverted position of the same.
• Five runes run: It is known as the Celtic Cross. The same consultant should take five runes from the bag and order them in the form of a cross. The first rune must go to the right (the past), the second rune is placed in the middle (present), the third rune is placed to the left (future). Then the fourth rune has to be placed under the one we place representing the present moment. This shows us the problems, so it helps us to answer questions such as: where conflicts arise and why they are there. The fifth rune is placed above the one that represents the present moment and is the one that indicates the solution to us.
  

  Conclusion:

  The first time I heard about the runes was from a print run that some friends told me. They told me how the runes responded to the source of existing conflicts in a couple. This helped the consultant to move forward and resolve their conflicts.
  According to the Nordic culture Odin is the God who obtained the sacred knowledge of the runes. He established the alphabet with branches of the sacred tree. That is why they have a very special vibration that we must respect for its sacred character and whose meaning depends directly on whoever does the reading.
