Runes - What do they signify?

Have you ever heard of RUNES and what they signify? Have you ever been curious about this area of divination? This seems like a good place to share some information with you about RUNES. I will use this forum to introduce you to the “world of RUNES” by giving you a brief bit of background info; and then later, through other articles on this sight, explore what each RUNE represents. I hope you find it interesting and that it will encourage you to dig deeper, ask questions, make comments, and feel compelled to learn more about this fascinating area of metaphysics.
In Divination - regardless of the tools - and in this case, using RUNES, works because in the system one is using the individual Rune represents the whole in some unified way. At the moment of 'random' mixing, because of intent, the Runes order themselves to mirror the reality of the seeker.
Runic divination, "Rune casting", is not "fortune telling". Rune casting works deeply with the subconscious. The Rune pouch with its runic symbols represents the entire universe. As one poses a question, one's entire conscious and unconscious mind is focused toward that question, so that the Rune lots selected are not truly random selections, but rather choices made by the subconscious.
Rune craft operates on an ancient form of psychology. Even back in Viking times, there was a remarkable understanding of the human psyche. They recognized cause and effect, and the interconnectedness of all things. The word to describe this interconnectedness was "wyrd", which was eventually perverted into the modern meaning of "weird". It did not originally mean something unusual or strange. Rather, it referred to the far-reaching effects of that which one does. The concept of "fate" was also not as we know it now. Instead of a helpless predestination, "fate" meant a destiny created by one's earlier actions. Wyrd was pictured as a web, like that of a spider. The symbolism is excellent. When the spider steps onto a thread (a path) the vibrations affect the entire web and that which is contained within the web, just as our actions affect our immediate world and those around us, and the actions of others affect our lives.
When one does a runic reading, one usually addresses a particular issue, and examines the past, the present and the "future", or rather "what will be if one follows the path one appears to be on". The future is always perceived as mutable, and/or changeable. The runic reading is done as an evaluation process, not as a fortune-telling session. One has an opportunity to look at what has occurred in the past (regarding the issue being questioned), what is occurring right now, and what direction one is headed. A Rune Caster does not see the future. He/she examines cause and effect and points out a likely outcome.
It is a methodology for examining the path one is on and what the effects might be, by making use of one's subconscious (i.e. an "intuitive perception"), unfettered by limited conscious belief systems. It is a manifestation of one's subconscious. All "intuitive perception" is such.
