To perform rune divination, individuals typically draw runes from a bag or scatter them and interpret the meanings based on their positions and relationships to each other. Interpretations can vary based on the context and the reader’s intuition, making rune readings a unique and personal experience for each individual.
There are different types of runes and meanings can vary a little. Each practitioner uses runes to gain insights into a situation and ‘activate’ the intuitive senses that guide them in the process of understanding the meanings.
