Several years ago, I came across "The Book of Runes", by Ralph Blum. This was the first of several books on runes I have read, but Mr. Blum's book continued to be the "benchmark" for me in terms of the runes names. I studied them and began to use them in my life as a means of divination. I'd pull a rune each morning and several times during the day, I'd ask myself how the rune I'd drawn that morning applied to the task I was now involved in. Along the way, I was led to write a series of Runic Prayers. They sat for the longest time gathering dust, and now I have rediscovered them again and am posting them here for anyone who might be interested. Please feel free to copy the runic prayers, and while a link back to this page would be appreciated, it's not required.
