Rune Cards
Rune Cards
Available here: A box with 24 rune cards and a guideline booklet.
How to use the cards:: Shuffle the cards or spread them out and mix them up. Then pick up either three, seven or nine cards depending on which layout you choose. Turn them over and lay the cards out in the order you picked them. Then look up the meaning of the rune in the booklet.
The cards are made by the Finnish artist Marjatta Ranta-Iso. Each of the runes are handcrafted in wood, gouged with an etching needle and blockprinted on an aquatint. On the back of the deck is a blockprint of Yggdrasil, the world tree.
Frigga Asraaf is the author of the guideline booklet which has been published in Dutch, English, German, Finnish and Swedish. Each deck is available with a booklet in one of these languages. Choose which one you want on the order form. The short poems by Frigga serve as a support to memorize the meaning of each rune. A brief history and mythology is included.
Design, layout and editing was done by Hans Kromme.
