Description

This deck is James R. Eads’s take on the Elder Futhark Runes, an early Nordic system of divination that has been around for millennia. Typically, runes are found in the form of stones, dice, talismans, or other objects with carvings.

When James first started to learn about runes, he found it difficult to relate the Nordic symbol to the meaning. He created this deck of cards to help better understand the meanings behind each rune. Each card has a runic symbol, the traditional name, and an image that encompasses the meaning behind the symbol. What is helpful with the Elder Futhark Runes is that the meanings are relatively simple. Each rune conveys a concept or feeling that was preva­lent thousands of years ago and still remains relevant today. The included dice provide an alternate way to draw runes in a reading.

Set of 33 cards with prismatic gold gilded edges in a custom orange box with a 65-page guidebook and 4 runic dice that can be used in tandem with the cards or on their own.
