Handmade Stoneware Runes
The Ancient Runes
The first written record of the runes was in 300 B.C when the Romans came into
contact with the tribes of Northern Europe. Since then the runes have been an
essential tool of shamans, druids and witches alike.

We craft our stones by hand. Each rune is drawn manually, no two sets are alike not
even the bags. I believe the runes bond to the person as much as the person to the
runes. Included is a basic guide to divining with the stones but you should allow
your intuition to evolve and guide you...

The Witches Runes
The divination tool of the wise-woman.  They first came known of about three
hundred years ago but are thought to be much older. The witches runes contain an
eye-stone which the person having the reading must hold for a few minutes to
connect with the runes.  The eye-stones in our sets are Unakite/Epidote (the stone
of vision)- this enhances the power of the runes!

Are You a Viking?
The Viking history spans most of Northern Europe, including Greenland and Iceland.  Many
believe they were the first Europeans to reach the American continent.  Unlike the Romans,
they didn't leave any fantastic archaeological remains.  Just the mystical rune stones, and
legends of heroism, and their bloodlines.  

Traveling by ship, the pagan warriors were known as master seamen.  Their voyages spanned
some of the most perilous seas in the world.  Guiding them was Odin, Freya, and Thor-Norse
Gods, the omens, and the word of the Runes.

Their bloodlines run on.. Some of us don't even realize that we may have their blood in our
lineage.  The Russians (the Rus) , the Normans (of Northern France), The Frisians (Holland),
Ireland and most of Northern England still carry viking place names.

The gift of Odin to the Vikings-the rune stones- a divine tool to guide and to protect, has been
mostly forgotten due to intentional changes in writings by the historians of the Dark age.  
Recently, there has been a revival of this amazing and powerful tool.  They have been recently
used in pagan divining in Hollywood movie plots, as well as  a theme in popular fantasy
computer games,   We believe that the runes have not been re-discovered ..it seems, in fact,
that the runes are now choosing again- to find us.
