Choosing a tree.

Description of different tree species:

When starting to work on the amulet, use the list of tree species and make a choice at your discretion.

Elderberry actively and aggressively protects, and therefore, since ancient times it has been believed that when an elderberry grows at the gate of a house, it is good, but bringing it into the house is not advisable.

Ash is a tree traditional for all types of magic and fortune telling. It is from its wood that the best sets of fortune-telling runes and powerful protective amulets that can protect against any influence are made.

Runes made of stone.

The search for twenty-five stones for your set should be done without undue haste. The activity is not limited to mindlessly collecting any stones of suitable size that catch your eye while walking.

Actively focus your intent on finding suitable stones as you search. Say to yourself: I ask that the stones needed for my rune set be allowed to show themselves. Look for small, flat stones, about two to three centimeters in diameter.

If a stone catches your attention, pick it up, take it in your right hand and ask yourself if this is the stone you need. If the stone suits you, you will receive intuitive inner confirmation. If there is no answer, return the stone to the place where you found it. When you bring the pebbles home, wash them thoroughly and store them in a well-lit place.

Preparation for production.

To practice, first draw each rune with a pencil on a piece of construction paper and accompany it with a name and a short comment.

Stone processing.

To craft a set of rune stones you will need the following materials: pencil, paint brush, blue enamel paint, clear varnish, paint thinner, cocktail sticks, soft cloth.

Rinse thoroughly and degrease all stones. Apply a coat of clear varnish to each stone. For a rune set, it is best to take paint with a durable coloring pigment that dries quickly and is waterproof. Apply paint with a cocktail stick. When applying the next portion of paint, whisper the name of the rune and feel how the flow of rune energy is formed. Vertical lines should be drawn from top to bottom, and diagonal lines should be drawn from left to right. The 25th rune is the rune of Odin. It is left empty after varnishing.

Runes made of wood.

A rune set can also be made from any natural materials, such as clay or leather. However, the most suitable material is wood.
Since runes have historically always been associated with trees, rune shamans generally preferred wood to make them.

For a wooden rune set, you need round blanks of approximately the same size; the branch should be cut from a wild tree. When finished, the entire set should fit in your cupped palms. The diameter of each piece is 3-4 cm, thickness is 0.5 cm. You will need to cut 25 circles of the same thickness.
It is best to use a thin jigsaw or model saw to avoid damaging the wood structure. Before working, firmly clamp the branch in a vice. Then sand the surface of the finished circles with the finest sandpaper. Before applying paint, each circle must be carefully varnished.

This work again requires patience and should not be rushed. For wood carving, you will need a figured chisel or a sharp pocket knife purchased specifically for this purpose.

Before starting carving, use a pencil to draw the outline of the rune onto the surface of the workpiece. This will be a template to work with. Vertical lines should be cut in three separate cuts. First, cut the center line from top to bottom or along each line. Horizontal notches at the top and base of each stroke limit its length. Then cut out triangular strips to the right and left of the center line.

A V-shaped notch is formed in the workpiece for coloring. The first cut marks the central line. Before making the second cut, make horizontal notches at the top and bottom of the center line. The second cut should be made slightly to the right of the central line and at an angle to it - so as to ultimately remove the triangular sliver. The third cut should be slightly to the left of the center line and at an angle to it.

This creates a V-shaped groove in the wood. Diagonal lines should be cut in the same way, generally from left to right. Coloring is done by applying paint into the groove using a cocktail stick.

Once all twenty-four runes have been cut out and painted, all you need to do is apply a final coat of varnish, which will protect them from contamination and give the work a finished look.

The order of consecration of runes
It is necessary not only for your rune set, but also for preparing your knife for runic carving if you decide to make runes from wood. Consecration can only be done in a calm environment. Before you begin, you will need to light the candle again.

For this you will need::
incense stick (incense), preferably incense or sandalwood, but you can use any scent you like.
candle (preferably wax, you can take a church candle)
bowl of salt
saucer or cup with clean water
The mood, calm environment and concentration are very important. The more clearly you formulate your goals, intentions and desires, the better and faster the rune set will work.

Consecration is carried out in four stages.

First stage- this is sanctification by the power of Air (Mind) and Smoke (Spirit). This process is called fumigation. It is produced by the smoke of smoldering herbs or incense. Smoking sticks can be purchased at the store.
Before consecrating a rune or knife, use your palm to direct a little smoke in your direction. This will be a gesture of your own need for cleansing. Gently inhale the smoke and focus on the feeling of being immersed in its cleansing qualities. Then take a rune or knife and pass it over the smoke several times, slowly turning it, so that the smoke washes them from all sides.
Say: “I consecrate you with the powers of Air!”

Second phase— consecration by the Element of Earth. Salt is often used for this ritual, symbolizing the essence of the Earth due to its preserving and. preservative qualities. It should not be sea salt, but rock salt, which comes from the earth. Place some rock salt in a shallow plate or bowl and sprinkle the salt over your rune or knife blade.
Say: “I consecrate you with the powers of the Earth!”

Third stage— consecration by the Element of Water. Take another shallow bowl and pour some water into it. It is best to take spring water, but if you cannot get it, ordinary tap water, previously boiled and cooled, will do. Submerge the rune or blade completely in the water and refocus on your intention.
Say: “I consecrate you with the powers of Water!”

Fourth stage— consecration by the Element of Fire. To do this, you can use a candle flame. To consecrate a knife or rune, simply pass it through the flame several times.
Say: “I consecrate you with the powers of Fire!”

The order of activation of runes.

To activate the runes you have made, place each of them on the palm of your left hand and bend the fingers of your right hand into a tube through which you exhale forcefully.

With each exhalation, you should focus your intention on drawing out vital energy. Pressing your lips to your hand, hold your breath briefly, focus on the name of the rune, and then breathe life into it. This action is repeated three times for all twenty-five runes. Your rune set is now ready to use.

Rune set bag.

You will need a special pouch in which you can store your rune set and carry it with you. Rune shamans traditionally kept their runes in a pouch made from a natural material such as leather or linen.

Choose soft, natural fabric or suede for this purpose. The bag can be simple or you can decorate it with embroidery or beads and should have a drawstring for tying.

Runes

Runic magic today is of increasing interest to novice esotericists, but before purchasing a set for practice, many of them wonder how to make runes with their own hands, and in general, whether it is possible. We have created detailed instructions for you with all the answers to this topic.

Why do homemade runes work better?

Any magical object that an esotericist comes into contact with during work interacts with the energy of its owner, thereby creating a strong energy connection that works in both directions: from the esotericist to the object and vice versa. It is not for nothing that there are special rituals for charging new Tarot decks, amulets, pendulums and other tools of magical work.

When a person makes a magical instrument with his own hands, he transfers much more of his own energy to it, which means that the object, even at the moment of creation, becomes closer to its master. All this is fully applicable to runes.

Of course, you can buy a ready-made set, charge it and successfully use it in practice, but nevertheless, knowing how to make runes with your own hands will still be useful, because after some time you may have a desire to work with your own futhark.

General rules for making runes at home

Before you make runes yourself, you should familiarize yourself with simple but important rules so as not to confuse anything during the manufacturing process and not negate the result of your work.

Ask yourself: are you really ready to create your own kit? Remember that these are not toys, so the rule “I’ll try, and if it doesn’t work, I’ll quit” does not apply here. If you start making runes, you must finish them.
Practice drawing runic symbols correctly, since it will be impossible to correct an erroneous marking on a finished object (it doesn’t matter whether it’s stone, wood or paper). In addition, the runes may simply not want to work with such a “careless” master. If you think that instead of a damaged pebble you can simply take another one, then you are mistaken - you should not do this. Some runologists claim that if you don’t get one rune, then the whole set needs to be redone.
Do not start making your own runic set if you are sick or in a bad mood. Remember that creating runes is not so much technical as it is energetic work, so you should feel good and have a decent amount of energy.
Choose the right material for the set: it should be pleasant to you personally. The most popular runes are made of wood and stone, but paper is also quite suitable for the first experiment. There are also craftsmen who make runes from polymer clay, leather, and wax.
Take your time! Do not set yourself the goal of making the entire set in a few hours; it is better to try to make the runes with your own hands step by step, without haste, because only this approach will be the most fruitful. This is a magical work, not a conveyor belt!
Before drawing a rune directly on the material, hold all the blanks in your hands, look at them and try to feel which one is most suitable for this symbol. Do this with each rune.
Remember that all vertical lines of the symbol should be drawn from top to bottom, and not vice versa, and diagonal and oblique lines should be drawn from left to right.
While drawing an image of a rune, think about it, about its meaning, say its name out loud or silently - by doing this you will attract its energy to you and tune in to contact with it.
Don't ask anyone for help! If you cannot make your own runes, then it is better to just buy a ready-made set in the store and charge it. Making your own set is an individual process, not a collective one, so it’s not worth involving an outsider to work on it, even if he is a divine artist or a wood carver.

Wooden runes are considered the most popular, since this material is closest to nature. Those who have chosen wood for work immediately wonder which species is best suited for a runic set. The correct answer is any! Focus on your own feelings, compare several different breeds, touch them, try to feel them. However, some runologists believe that a set made from the tree that originally grows in your area, and not imported from other countries, will work best. For Russia, these are birch, oak, elm, larch, maple, spruce, pine, willow and others.

If you have decided on the material, it’s time to figure out how to make runes from wood with your own hands.

Make wooden blanks. They usually look like rectangular or oval dies of the same size in the amount of 25 pieces (24 Elder Futhark runes and one empty Odin rune). You can make them using a wood cutter.
You can apply images of runes to blanks in several ways: cut them out with a chisel, burn them with a wood burning machine, or simply paint them with paint, or, as some craftsmen advise, with your own blood. Some people combine the two methods, such as cutting and painting.
The finished rune can be sanded with sandpaper and varnished if desired. If you like colored runes, you can paint the wooden blanks before drawing the symbols.

Stone is the second most popular material after wood. Most often, pebbles collected from the shore of a reservoir or natural stones are used to create your own set. If pebbles can be easily selected by size, then with natural stones the situation is more complicated, so you will have to spend a lot of time finding pebbles of the right size.

It is recommended to collect pebbles early in the morning in a secluded place, for example, on a sandbank or in a deserted corner of an old park near a pond. Under no circumstances should you pick up stones near cemeteries, on the ruins of buildings, or on roads - such materials are saturated with negative energy, so they are not suitable for work.

And now about how to properly make runes from stone:

Rinse all stones under running water and let them dry on their own.
Prepare the surface of the stone for drawing. To do this, you need to cover the stones with transparent varnish and let it dry. If you want the runes to be colored, use an oil-based colored varnish.
After the varnish has dried, you can draw a symbol on the stone. It is better to do this with enamel paint - it is more durable.
When the enamel has dried (after about a day), cover each rune with another layer of clear varnish. After the paint has dried, the set can be charged and used!

How to make a runic set from paper

Those who are wondering how to make runes from paper with their own hands are the luckiest, because this method takes a minimum of time. But it is worth considering that a paper or cardboard set will not last you long, so such runes are suitable only as a first experiment and for those who are not sure that they will practice runic magic constantly.

The algorithm for creating paper runes is simple: rectangles are cut out from thick paper or cardboard of the same size, after which runic symbols are applied to them with paint, a marker or your own blood (there are those who prefer this method). The paper set can then be laminated to make it last longer.

If you are thinking about how to make runes at home, but paper, stone and wood do not appeal to you, try turning to other materials. Do not listen to those who claim that only wooden and stone runes will work - all this is nonsense! In fact, your energetic connection with runic symbols is important, and what material they will be made of is the tenth thing. The main thing is that you like them and feel them.

So, if you didn’t go with the classics and decided to choose a different material, pay attention to the following options:

bone
metal
polymer clay
salty dough

The technology for making runes from bone, metal and leather is, in principle, similar to wood and stone: first you need to cut out the blanks with a suitable tool, and then apply runic symbols to them. Working with polymer clay and salt dough is generally simple: the blanks are formed by hand, after which they are baked in the oven, then they can be painted with colorless varnish and, after drying, symbols can be applied to the prepared surface.

How to charge homemade runes

In fact, you need to charge a ready-made runic set purchased in a store. Even during the process of creation, homemade runes are saturated with your energy, so all you need is to leave the finished set laid out on a white cloth for literally a day, after which you can start working.

But, if you are the type of person who definitely needs some kind of ritual, you can use. The methods of such activation are different, and each runologist performs this ritual in his own way. The main thing is to use elements that correspond to the elements, for example, an incense stick or incense for air, water for water, a candle for fire, salt for earth. Carry the runes through the smoke from the incense, over a candle, sprinkle with water and hold in salt, while mentally or out loud turning to the desired element and asking it for help. You can come up with your own ritual - this is allowed in runic magic.

You need to store homemade runes in a special bag or box, away from prying eyes, for example, in a closed desk drawer. It is better to make a “house” for runes with your own hands. A beautiful wooden box would also work. After fortune telling, do not forget to remove the runes, do not leave them lying around on the table. And most importantly, do not give your runes into the hands of strangers, even if they are a member of your family, not as a whole set, not just one at a time. Runes react very sensitively to human energy, therefore, for proper operation, only their owner can touch them.

That's all. Now you know how to make runes and activate them. Good luck with your work!

If you decide to engage in rune magic or fortune telling with runes, you need at least one set of runes. You can buy a ready-made set in the store, or you can make it yourself.

Moreover, given the low quality of ready-made runes sold in occult stores, I strongly recommend making a set yourself. However, there are some subtleties in making runes at home. We'll talk about them in more detail below. So, how to make runes? Material for runes.

The main rule is that the material for making runes must be of natural origin. Very high-quality runes are obtained when they are made from hard wood. This material is quite widespread and easy to process. If you decide to make runes from wood, then choose the type that suits you. This can be done, for example, using the Druid horoscope. In fact, wood is practically the only “living” material available for processing, not counting skin and bone. However, leather is quite difficult to process, and bone suitable for processing is very difficult to obtain these days. You can also use clay. It is convenient because it easily changes shape, and after final processing it becomes hard as a stone. However, you should remember that after firing the clay becomes fragile and, therefore, your runes can be easily damaged.

Another option for material for runes is stone. Very high-quality runes come out of the stone, but their production requires an extremely long time, since the stone is extremely difficult to process. Instead of carving runes into stone, you can draw them. In this case, paint should be chosen that is resistant to liquids and abrasions. Another natural material for making your runes is metal. However, making runes from metal is still not recommended.

Other materials - paper, plastic, rubber, concrete, synthetic resins, plasticine - are unsuitable for making runes. They are not natural, so working with them will be difficult, inconsistent, and most importantly, ineffective. What paint to use. It is not necessary to paint over the marks obtained on your blanks, but it is advisable. When painted, the symbol of the rune will differ from the material from which it is made, so the image will be clearer and more contrasting. In addition, when coloring a rune symbol, the rune receives a certain energy charge, which is extremely necessary in the process of magical action. Aesthetically colored runes look much more pleasant, and the sensations from the runes during the fortune telling process are not the last component of success.

There is an opinion that the most effective material for coloring runes is your own blood. This is true. By painting rune symbols with your own blood, you seem to give them a part of yourself, a little of your own energy, and therefore your connection with the runes will be much stronger in the future, and the interaction will be effective. If you choose regular paint, use only natural dyes, preferably red.

How to make runes. You have prepared the necessary materials and now you can begin the actual production of runes. I’ll say right away - haste in making runes is unacceptable. No conveyor belt. Each rune must be made separately. First we prepare the rune itself, then we cut out the symbols on it, and finally we color the cut out symbols. You shouldn’t do all the runes in one go, for example overnight, but you shouldn’t stretch the process unnecessarily either. Just find your own rhythm for it process and do it at your convenience. In the process of making each sign, try to “feel” its essence and the material from which it is made. Try to internally merge with him. Imagine that this piece of clay (wood, bone) seems to be a part of yourself. Next, you should begin processing and drawing the rune sign. When drawing a sign, try to think about its meaning and the message contained in these symbols.

Each rune should become for you not just a piece of clay with signs drawn on it, but a meaningful sign, a combination of meanings, certain images and feelings. Then paint the rune, approaching this process in much the same way as the manufacturing process. After you have finished making the rune, look at it carefully. If something doesn’t suit you, some parts you don’t like, then you should immediately get rid of this rune and start the process of making it again. It is important that the runes that you have prepared are ideal for you, that you like them and are close.

Keep your runes away from prying eyes. After all, if strangers look at your runes, or God forbid, take them into their hands, then the runes lose not only their energy that you invested in their manufacture, but also their connection with you, with your inner world, your essence. If someone begins to use your runes for their intended purpose, he will be able to use the energy that you have contained in them. Therefore, try to store your runes in a secluded place. When transporting, keep the runes in a bag, which can be made either from leather or from thick material tied with woolen thread. If you want to maintain the energy potential of your runes at the proper level, I advise you to take them out more often, touch them with your hands, and look at them. These actions will maintain the energy of your runes at the proper level.

How to make runes? We'll tell you! First, choose which material suits you best - wood or stone. And keep in mind that it is better to make the runes that you plan to use for personal purposes yourself. Filled with your energy, they will have the most positive effect.

Wood is a very “warm” material that stores the energy contained in it and multiplies it. It is best to choose the type of wood whose properties are especially close and necessary to you.

Properties and meanings of different types of wood

Different tree species have different meanings. This is important to consider when choosing the right wood for making runes.

For example:

Ash is a tree of protection. This is an excellent material for making rune amulets, the action of which will be aimed at protecting a person from any negativity coming from outside
The apple tree has the strongest ability to attract love into a person’s life and make him attractive to the opposite sex. Therefore, apple tree amulets are most suitable for making amulets that will help solve all problems related to personal relationships.
Oak has powerful healing properties. Amulets made from this type of wood help strengthen and restore health.
Choose wood that is available to you. In winter, spruce works well - it is not difficult to find branches in the nearest forest or grove.

It is best to use tree branches to make wooden runes. The easiest way is to cut them into circles, from which you will make runes.

How to make runes from wood: algorithm

The algorithm for making runes at home is as follows:

Cut the branch into thirteen circles. The approximate thickness of each is 3-4 centimeters. It is not necessary to remove the bark, but you can do so if you wish. Advice: if you don’t want to bother with cutting, purchase ready-made wooden blanks in a store with esoteric goods or in a stall with building materials
Take a piece of stiff sandpaper and sand the workpieces to smooth out their surface. Finally, coat the circles with clear varnish and wait until it dries completely.
Using a pencil, draw images of runes on each circle. Then, using a knife, make cuts along the drawn contours. Make the main lines first, the largest ones, and the small ones at the end. Vertical cuts are made from top to bottom, and diagonals are drawn from left to right
After this, you can color the runes in the desired color. Wait for the paint to dry completely and cover the runes again with clear varnish

Ready! You can start using ready-made runes.

Important: Study the meaning and description of each symbol. Each rune has its own color, in which it will need to be painted. Strictly ensure that the design of the rune corresponds to its correct outline. One wrong cut and the rune becomes unusable, turning into a useless piece of wood.

How to make runes at home from stone

To find stones suitable for making runes, go to the shore of a body of water - a river, lake or sea. You need to find small round stones with a smooth, polished surface. They should be flat.

If you remember how in childhood you floated “pancakes” on the water, you will immediately understand which stones are suitable.

Once you have found thirteen stones of the appropriate size and shape, rinse them under running water and put them away to dry. It is best to dry it in the sun - then future runes will be properly charged with positive solar energy.

Equipment for making stone runes

To make runes from stone you will need the following equipment:

A small brush with stiff bristles, which will be convenient for applying a rune pattern to a stone
Transparent varnish for fixing the image
Enamel or any other fast-drying, durable paint. It is desirable that it be waterproof
A pen, a toothpick, a small stick with a pointed end - a tool that will be convenient for applying paint to the surface of a stone
A cloth or napkin that you will use to remove excess paint

After you have prepared everything you need, you can begin making runes. Watch a video on how to make runes at home:

So, start making runes in this sequence:

Take the prepared stones and carefully coat them with clear varnish using a brush. Wait until the varnish dries and make sure that there are no unpainted areas left
Apply the image of each rune to the stones using a stick and paint. Choose a paint color that matches the meaning of the rune symbols. The lines should be clear, straight, and of equal thickness. Don’t overdo it - it’s better to use less paint so that it doesn’t spread and you don’t have to redo everything again

Tip: before drawing, you can schematically apply the image of the rune to the stone using a simple pencil. Also practice drawing runes on paper so that you don’t have any difficulties when drawing them on a hard surface

Finally, coat the stones with clear varnish again to preserve the image for a long time.

How to properly store runes?

It is important not only to make runes, but also to store them correctly. To do this, you need a bag sewn from dense natural fabric - it was in such bags that ancient shamans carried runes with them. The ideal material is linen. A bag made of genuine leather is also suitable.

It must be tied with a cord. If you want to add decorative notes, you can embroider the bag with colored threads or beads.

Always keep the runes in this bag - they should be inaccessible to prying eyes. Only the owner is allowed to see them.
