Hey,
so I am working on making my own set of runes. I really did not want to buy them, because I think when something is made by your
own hands it is more "powerful", lets say I just feel more connected to self made items.
So I am planning on making them out of wood. I have read numerous articles/books about this and came across one site that sparked curiosity!
The article mentioned dying the runes after they have been carved (with a knife, wood burner what ever you choose really)...
the point that struck the "whaaaaat??" in me was what they were dying the runes with....blood....your own blood...
it didn't mention why though, and I really cant find anything written on why...I am guessing to make them YOURS...like very very
personal YOURS...and in a book I've read, that back in the old days, they also used urine...
Now I dont think I am going to take my Runes to the urine level, maybe the blood level if there is a good reason. I am curious of what other people did and why.
So here the question: Did any of you make your own Runes, and if so..out of what material and what did you do with them (carving, dying etc)?
I hope You all have a great day!!
Greetings
