CONCLUSION

As with the older sets of Runes, you can do more than just divine with these. You could create bindrunes, runescripts and runespells with the Womanrunes. You could create a runescript of your own name. Since Shekinah Mountainwater created this as a phonetic alphabet, your own name would consist of those Womanrunes whose fundamental sounds spell out your name. This is why I included the pronunciation of each Womanrune in small print on each card. An interesting exercise is creating a runescript of your name, then analyzing the meaning of each Womanrune in it. What do they tell you about yourself and your potentials?

Of course, the Womanrunes aren’t limited in their use to just women, though they are designed from a feminine perspective. The Womanrunes speak with their own distinct voice and personality, and it’s a voice we all need to hear and communicate with at some point in our lives. May that voice guide you truly in these cards.

EXERCISES

  1. If you haven’t already, create a runescript of your first, or given name. What does it tell you about yourself? Create a runescript of your last or family name. What does it say about your family as a group?
  2. Do this same name-runescript exercise for two to three people you know. What does it tell you about them and their potentialities? Does it sound like them?                
  3. Print out the oracle-a-day recording sheet and record your results each day until the page is filled out (a ten-day period). Looking over the sheet, how accurate (or inaccurate) was it? Is there an underlying message in those Womanrunes, taken as a whole, over the course of those ten days?
  4. Print out the three-rune layout recording sheet and record your readings and results until the page is at least half-full. How accurate (or inaccurate) was it? Was there an underlying theme to the readings, one consistent message, or did they each address a different subject?
  5. EXTRA CREDIT: At the top of this page and page 2, there are pictures of sample layouts using the Womanrunes. If these were an actual reading you were doing for a person, how would you interpret these spreads for them?
