Below is a random rune generator and below that is a list of the runes and their meanings from a relationship viewpoint. Throughout history solace has been found in interpreting signs.
The runes, literally translated as ‘a secret thing, a mystery’ were used by Vikings to get through stormy seas. The twenty-five runic letters were carved into stones or twigs or bones and used to determine divine will. The runes have many different aspects, but we have listed the meanings with a view that the inquirer (you) is searching for advice on affairs of the heart.
The runes have no magical power in themselves, when you pick a rune (in this case by clicking the ‘Generate a Rune’ button) you tune into your higher self; a sympathetic link is formed between earth and heaven where your subconscious and conscious meet, where you shift from your rational self and tap into your own inner wisdom. Simply choose a topic or situation that is on your mind and, while holding the thought, click the ‘Generate a Rune’ button.
You can ask a new question every morning. It’s sort of a second opinion on something you are already thinking about, a lovely way to support your intuition and learn to trust your own feelings... you may click the 'Generate a Rune' as often as you wish but only the first rune answers your question. Some people find it helpful to write down the runes that they choose each day to see if there is any kind of pattern emerging, if there are any unresolved issues they have that need looking at.
