Runic Astrology November 2nd - November 8th: What do the runes have in store for you this week?

Divination in runes is an ancient art that can be traced back to the Norse God Odin. Old scriptures show that the Vikings then continued this tradition – they even used used rune symbols in jewellery, clothing and weapons to boost their energy.

Each person has their own rune stone, depending on what day, and at what time, they were born. This unique birth rune indicates the abilities, talents and resources that you bring into your life.
