Runes and how to make them

    Runes are one of the oldest tools of fortune telling. It is said that the best way to start is to create your own set of runes to create a bond with them. And here is a way how to do it easier.



A set of runes consists of 25 different runes one of which is left blank.

So, you will need :
1. A bark of some sort. Here I used pine tree bark as it is easier to carve. 
2. A sharp knife.
3. Nail polish or a color of some sort. (to fill the marks)


First you need to smooth out the bark on both side and then divide it in several, smaller but similar in width, planks.

Then divide these planks in 25 smaller pieces which are similar in size.

After that, using a knife, carve out each individual rune on the pieces. Then using a nail polish fill in the marks with the colour of your choice. 
   You can read everything you will need to to know about runes and their meaning by searching on Google.
