Listen Later

Have you ever wondered how to choose the perfect set of runes that resonates with your unique energy?

In this episode of Elegant Witchcraft, host Lizzie takes you on a captivating journey into the world of runes, diving deep into the essential processes of selecting, crafting, or acquiring your own rune set.

Continuing from our exploration of runic origins in Episode 1, Lizzie emphasizes the importance of forging a personal relationship with your runes. She reflects on her own experience of how daunting it felt to transition from tarot to runes, describing her initial encounter with different runic sets in a shop. Listeners will learn that the connection with runes is deeply personal—whether it’s through the tactile experience of wooden runes, the ethereal glow of crystals, or the primal essence of bone.
Lizzie discusses the debate between buying and making your own runes. While some witches believe that crafting runes enhances their authenticity, she reassures listeners that there is no right or wrong way. The key takeaway is that the runes should speak to you, regardless of their origin. The episode addresses the various materials used for runes, explaining how different energies are associated with wood, stone, crystal, and resin, and how these choices can impact your practice.
Listeners will also discover the essential steps of cleansing and consecrating their new runes, mirroring practices used with tarot decks. Lizzie shares various methods for clearing residual energies, such as smoke cleansing, moonlight exposure, and visualization techniques. She introduces listeners to the idea of an initial “hello” reading, where pulling a single rune can set the tone for the relationship that unfolds.
Want to craft your own runes? Lizzie encourages listeners to treat this process as a sacred ritual, and she provides practical advice on how to infuse each rune with intention and meaning. She emphasizes that the act of making your runes can be just as magical as using pre-made sets.
The episode also highlights the importance of storing your runes respectfully and discusses the kinds of containers witches use to protect their runes. Whether it’s a simple pouch or a beautifully lined wooden box, Lizzie underscores that the way you keep your runes is an extension of your practice.
As the episode progresses, Lizzie shares daily bonding practices, such as pulling a rune each morning to reflect on the day’s energy or choosing a “rune of the week” to deepen your understanding over time. She adds a touch of humor by recounting her own amusing mishaps with her cat and her runes, reminding listeners that these experiences can lead to unexpected insights.
Finally, Lizzie encourages listeners to embrace the imperfect process of selecting or crafting runes, urging them to release any pressure to get it “perfect.” Each rune can eventually become a familiar ally, enriching your magical practice and daily life.
Tune in to this enlightening episode to explore the many facets of acquiring your runes and how they can become a vibrant part of your witchcraft journey. May your runes speak with clarity, and may your creativity flourish as you embark on this magical path!
