How to Use Witch Runes for Divination

Step 1: Connect with Your Runes
Hold your runes, close your eyes, and focus on your intention. Feel their energy.

Step 2: Set Your Intention
Decide on your question or focus. It can be specific ("What should I know about my career?") or general ("What energy surrounds me today?"). Clarity in intention helps guide your reading.

Step 3: Choose Your Spread

Select a layout based on the depth of insight you seek:

  • Single Rune Draw: Quick guidance or daily insight.

  • Three-Rune Spread: Past, Present, Future or Situation, Challenge, Advice.

  • Five-Rune Cross: Comprehensive overview with positions for center: present, top: spirit guidance, bottom: grounding advice, left: past influences, and right: future potential.


Step 4: Draw Your Runes

Mix the runes in a bag or bowl and draw them intuitively. Trust your hand to select the runes that feel right.

Step 5: Interpret the Runes

Lay out the runes in order and interpret each one based on its meaning and position. Trust your intuition and let your personal insights shape the reading. Combine the meanings into a cohesive message or story.


Using Witch Runes for Spellwork

  • Incorporate Runes in Spells: Choose runes that match your intention. For example, use Rings to strengthen a bond or Sun for manifesting desires. Place the rune on your altar, carry it, or draw it on candles or spell jars.

  • Create Rune Grids: Arrange runes in patterns to amplify your goal, similar to a crystal grid.

  • Rune Meditation: Hold a rune representing a quality you wish to embody, like the Moon for intuition. Meditate on its energy flowing through you.


Tips for Working with Witch Runes

  • Cleanse your runes occasionally by passing them through incense smoke, placing them in moonlight, or burying them in salt.

  • Keep a Rune Journal: Track your readings and experiences to notice patterns and deepen your understanding.

  • Trust Your Intuition: Your connection with the runes is unique. Trust your feelings and insights.

  • Practice Regularly: Engage with the runes regularly to stay connected to their energy.


Working with witch runes is a personal and empowering practice. Whether for divination, spellwork, or meditation, trust yourself and your unique journey. There’s no right or wrong way—just your way. Enjoy the journey and let the runes guide you with clarity and insight!
