Runes are the ancient alphabet symbols of the Germanic and Norse peoples, used in writing and, in spiritual practice, as a divination oracle where each symbol carries its own meaning and energy.
Why It Matters
The word rune is linked to ideas of mystery and secret wisdom, and in Norse myth the god Odin hung from the world tree to win them. Seekers cast or draw runes to receive guidance and reflect on a question, much as they would with tarot. Next Level Soul teaches them as one of many divination tools for tuning in to intuition.
