Runes are an alphabetic script used by the Nordic and Germanic tribes of Northern Europe from the first century until well into the Middle Ages. A rune is not merely a letter in an old Germanic alphabet, but it bears the primary definition of "secret" or "mysteries." There were many different runic alphabets in use throughout Northern Europe over the centuries. The most common is the Germanic or Elder Futhark. In addition to their use as a written alphabet, the runes also served as a system of symbols used for magic and divination.

1. Choose a number from 1-24

2. You may ask yourself a question that you would like answered. The more specific the question, the more sense the answer will make. If you choose not to ask a question, this will give you an indication as to what may be going on subconsciously.

3. Look at the rune wheel and put your finger on the first symbol you are drawn to. (Do not think about it - look at the wheel and point. This is the symbol, which represents your needs most, today. Look up what this symbol represents.

4. Now count in a clockwise direction, each symbol, with the number you chose. This will reveal a possible problem or difficulty you are encountering. Look up what this symbol represents.

5. Now continue in a clockwise direction, each symbol, (from the symbol you are currently on) with the number you chose, again. This will tell you the possible solution for the future. Look up what this symbol represents
