Hello I'm Geimhreadh Runeteller and this is going to start out as a basic guide to the 3 main types of Runes used in all things Divination :p

I will first introduce you to the 1st set of 3 of Runes we will be working with and then break them down from there biggrin

(Due to the fact that it would be a long and non worth while process to write all the corresponences out by hand i will be linking to images and websites alot to give you a better understanding biggrin )

(And I appologize in advance for the lack of some pronounciation marks over some of the letters the computer I am currently using doesn't have alternate language lettering available)

First we will look at the most common set: Futhark or Elder Futhark http://www.candledark.net/silver/futhark/runes.gif(
