Faerie Runes: An Oracle for Elves and Fae and Other Magical Folk

These are the Faerie Runes that faerie witches, in particular, and faerie seers might use as well as elvish and faerie magic wielders and diviners of various kinds and, of course, the faeries thems’elves. In FAERIE RUNES:An Oracle for Elves and Fae and Other Magical Folk, there are 36 of these original Faerie Runes — 6 sets of 6 runes. The Faerie Runes may be used to assist you in making life decisions on your spiritual path, and particularly about specific questions you may have concerning your daily life, your relationship to the Faerie Realm and the Faerie kindred, as well as your own personal magical development. Or use them to ask for further information to accompany your other daily oracles when you need a bit more guidance. The Faerie Runes may also be used for your magic to write words in both English and Arvyndase, the magical language of the Silver Elves (a chart is enclosed in this book for letter and number associations with each of the Faerie Runes). We Silver Elves often use the Faerie Runes in our magic and enjoy inscribing them on our magic rocks that we place on our magic tables and often out in Nature.
As you read this book, you will notice that the photos of the Faerie Runes are of our own handmade set. We Silver Elves find that making your own runes imbues a lot of magic to your rune set, as they are created with your own time and energy. You can make a batch of these runes yours’elf using small rocks (flat on each side), that you paint or engrave upon. But we have found in our own rune making that using small kitchen/bathroom tiles (all uniform in size) work really well, for if you throw them out or pick them from a bag, they each have an equal chance of coming up. We paint the runes upon them and then we seal them over a number of times so the paint does not wear off easily (more directions are included in the book).
You may throw the runes or dice and get one major rune, but you may also throw the runes or dice again to get a second rune for further information. The first rune you get is your primary rune, the second is used to inform the first, give it more detail. So, if you choose to get two runes, read the primary rune first and understand the second one in light of the first and its meaning. In each chapter, we explain what getting the second rune will mean in connection with the first rune. Thus, each chapter has 36 connected rune possibilities including the notion that you might get the first/primary rune twice.
There are two sets of groups of Faerie Runes that have a powerful influence on each other. The first set are considered strong when they come together and harmonious but a bit of a narrow focus. The first set is composed of runes 1-6, which are called Flight; the second set 7-12, which are called Fancy; the third set are 13-18, which are designated collectively as Flowering; the fourth set are 19-24, which are known as Frivolity; the fifth set 25-30 that are called Sensation; and the sixth set 31-36 that are referred to collectively as Ferocity. If you get any of the same set in combination it indicates a powerful focus to the energy.
The second group are combinations that are considered Lucky for they are both harmonious and diverse. Any combination with a set increase the luck and power of the runes you have drawn. However, you don’t have to remember this, we have marked these so they are noted as ‘strong’ or ‘lucky’ combinations as you look through the chapters. If you get three in the same set of ‘strong’ combinations, it is particularly powerful and if you draw three of the ‘lucky’ combinations it is considered extremely fortunate.
