Rune discussions are often very serious. The power of runes is well respected, and rightly so, their messages are taken to heart and inscriptions such as bindrunes are tattooed to be forever merged with the person.
So I have to remind myself to retain that child-like awe that I experienced when, for the first time, runes flew out of the pouch into the metal tray and made a loud jarring sound on impact. And when I proceeded to group the runes that fell face up into coherent words and sentences.
Or when I asked a silly question I already knew the answer to and runes refused to show up.
So here is a lineup of Elder Futhark runes with not so formal messages for the advice position. Of course the context of the question, the other runes and your intuition will enhance or modify that.
