Runes.
Do you know the Runes?
Runes its foremost the Nordic equivalent of the alphabet, but they are also a means of divination and can be used in magic.
Do you believe in their powers?

I haven't had a chance to work with them, but I have read a little about them. They seem easier and more descriptive than Tarot. Once I feel accomplished enough with the Tarot, I plan to start working on the Runes. I don't know if I want to buy a set that comes with a \"how to\" book or if I just want to buy a book and make my own. From what I've read, making your own runes will make it easier for you to use them i.e. in tune to your energy, familiarity, and the similar.
I recommend buying a good book (maybe brother Thurysaz can tell you which) and then making your own runes. I agree with your statement above regarding making your own and I think it's cheaper that way because a lot of those box sets can be very expensive and the booklets coming in those boxes are often medicore and a waste of money.
To see a world in a Grain of Sand,
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.

As for their powers in divination I do believe in them. I have a strong belief in many of the old teachings of the world and especially in those of the Norse. Now if only I could get my butt in gear and start learning more . . .

Indeed, it is better to manufacture its own Runes. even made carton in debut, if that's all you have on hand.
For literature on the subject the rule is: Forget the books which spoke of 25 Runes!
(because the twenty fifth is included in the other 24)
About books, I recommend: Runelore of Edred Thorsson.
But the must is: Leaves of Yggdrasil by Freya Aswynn.
