Clear quartz brings no flavor of its own to a reading, which matters more in runes than in tarot because there are only twenty-four staves and every one of them has to carry weight. Nothing in the stone competes with the stave, which is the whole argument for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat You Are Getting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwenty-five hand carved stones with an information card. Twenty-four of them are the Elder Futhark, the oldest runic alphabet, in use across Germanic Europe from roughly the second century. The twenty-fifth is blank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout that blank rune.\u003c\/strong\u003e It is not ancient. Ralph Blum popularised it in \u003cem\u003eThe Book of Runes\u003c\/em\u003e in 1982 and it has been in almost every commercial set since. Some readers use it for the unknowable and some take it straight back out of the bag. Both are defensible, and you should know which you are doing rather than find out mid-reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTry It With\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/wildravensnest.com\/products\/taking-up-the-runes\"\u003eTaking Up the Runes\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/wildravensnest.com\/products\/runecasters-handbook\"\u003eThe Runecaster’s Handbook\u003c\/a\u003e to learn the staves, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/wildravensnest.com\/products\/bone-runes-divination-set\"\u003ethe Bone Rune Set\u003c\/a\u003e if you want a second set in a different material, and a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/wildravensnest.com\/products\/rune-reading\"\u003eRune Reading\u003c\/a\u003e if you would rather be read for.
