I have been using the Elder Futhark runes for divination since 1985. I was given a copy of Ralph Blum’s The Book of Runes by a classmate. Although most authors ascribe different meanings to the runes than Blum did, I still found them to be quite useful. It wasn’t until I began to practice Asatru some eight years later that I read works by Thorsson, Tyson, Gundarsson, Cooper, Paxson and others that I learned potentially more traditional meanings. Here are the various sets that I currently have.
