Do I need to ask a question for a rune reading?

It helps — especially if you want clarity about something specific. But you don’t need to overthink it. The runes respond well to direct questions, and they’re happy to speak up when asked. If you’re unsure, we can simply ask, “What do I need to know right now?”

How many runes do you pull in a session?
It depends on the situation. Sometimes one rune says it all. Sometimes we cast a few. Sometimes they insist on a full spread. (Yes, they have opinions.) We’ll follow the flow of the reading — and the runes themselves will guide the process.

Can I use runes instead of tarot or astrology?

Absolutely. Runes are a standalone system of insight — fast, clear, and powerful. But they also make a perfect complement to tarot and astrology, especially when you want a second opinion or a sharper edge. They’re like a wise elder with a weathered face and a dry sense of humor.

What’s the difference between a rune reading and a tarot reading?

Tarot paints a picture and tells a story. Runes skip the story and cut to the heart of the matter.
Tarot might say, “Here’s the journey you’re on.”
The runes say, “Here’s what you need to do next.”
What’s the difference between a rune reading and a tarot reading?
Tarot paints a picture. It tells a story.
It might say:
“Here’s where you’ve been. Here’s where you are. Here’s where you’re going. And if you follow your dreams, here’s the best path forward.”

Runes, on the other hand, cut straight to the point.
They might say:
“That’s never going to work. Better luck next time.”

Tarot offers context, nuance, and possibility.
Runes hand you the truth — fast, sharp, and unfiltered.

Both are helpful. Both are powerful.
But only one of them sounds like a Viking.

Are rune readings always so blunt?
Yes. That’s kind of their thing. But blunt doesn’t mean cruel. Runes are clear and to the point, which makes them great when you’re overwhelmed or overthinking. They’re not here to soften the truth — they’re here to help you move forward.

Where did the runes come from?
Historically, the earliest known runes date back to around 150 CE. They were used by Germanic tribes throughout Northern Europe — including what is now Scandinavia, Germany, and the British Isles. The most widely known system, the Elder Futhark, is made up of 24 symbols and was used from roughly 150 to 800 CE.

What is the legendary history of the runes?
According to Norse mythology, the runes didn’t come from humans at all. They were discovered by Odin, the All-Father of the Norse gods. Odin hung from the World Tree, Yggdrasil, for nine nights and nine days — wounded, alone, and suspended between worlds — in a sacrifice of self to self. When he returned, he brought the secret of the runes: symbols of power, mystery, and magic. That’s why rune work is sacred. It comes from a place of vision and initiation.

Did the Vikings really use runes?
Yes — the runes were in widespread use during the Viking Age. They appeared on everything from sword hilts and coins to boundary stones and memorial markers. The Vikings used them for writing, magic, and ritual. In fact, runes were carved into ships, armor, and everyday objects for protection, strength, and luck. They weren’t just an alphabet — they were a living system of divine communication.

Are Thor and Odin included?
Yes — just like in the Marvel movies.
Only more magical, and a little more mysterious.

Odin is the keeper of the runes — the original seeker of wisdom. Thor, with his strength and his hammer, shows up in the rune Thurisaz, which is associated with protection, defense, and dynamic power. Many of the runes carry the essence of the Norse gods and goddesses, even when their names aren’t directly mentioned. The runes are, quite literally, charged with mythic energy.

Want to see what the runes have to say?
They won’t give you a ten-page report. But they will give you the truth.
And sometimes, that’s exactly what you need.
