Power of the Runes Deck

Description

The Power of the Runes deck by Voenix includes 25 FUTHARK Rune cards and a 34-page booklet guide.

From the publisher:

The runes are a powerful divinatory tool. Their origination is attributed to the Norse god Odin. These ancient magical symbols offer deep insight into the hidden structure of the cosmos and the secrets of the human psyche.

Thomas Vomel (Voenix) created this deck to communicate the character of the runes in vivid pictorial form on cards. The images are based on Teutonic gods and myths shown in archetypal settings. Each pictorial scene captures the essence of the rune it represents. The cards also display the rune number and corresponding phonetic letter.

At the bottom and top of each card is the rune letter and name in the runic alphabet. Vomel’s instruction booklet gives a brief history of the runes, describes the meaning and symbolism of each card, and explains several casting systems for reading with the cards to find answers and insights.

From Power of the Runes booklet:

Runes are the earliest written symbols of the Germanic peoples. Judged on the basis of the oldest runic discovery, a brooch found at Meldorf near Jutland, they are at least 2,000 years old. However, there are indications to suggest the runes are significantly older. The symbols themselves consist mainly of straight lines and simple curves, which can be scratched relatively easily on wood, metal, or stone.

Each rune stands for a letter thus, as a discrete group, they represent a complete alphabet, known as the Futhark, the word being formed by the beginnings of the first six runes: F-U-TH-A-R-K. But these written symbols, known as “staves”, are far more complex than they appear at first glance. The runes conceal a mystery that affords glimpses into the depths of the cosmos to anyone who dedicates himself to their intensive study.

From runes deck box:

A powerful spiritual tool, the runes are believed to be the creation of the Norse God Odin. These most ancient of Germanic peoples’ magical written symbols offers us deep insight into the hidden structures of the cosmos and the secrets of the human psyche.
