If you look back through my posts here, you will see that this is an oracle I have liked and used for years. But I had never made my own set of runes before. I always used ones made by artists who I deemed more "handicrafty" than me.
Because I absolutely have no idea how to cut wood myself - and I really don't feel comfortable to cutting a tree's healthy branch just to experiment -, I bought myself a pack of 3cm wooden circles for craft. They have the advantage of being flat and porous, which makes it easy to draw on them... Not to mention they are resistant and light to carry around, two important qualities in a rune set in my opinion. So today, with a mighty sharpie, I drew the symbols. They did not come out perfect, but I suppose the rough look adds to the magic. Annnd… there is the fact they are mine.
Tonight we have a Full Moon in Aries. A full moon in fire speaks of creative projects that reach their finest points or that get completed. In Aries, specifically, we get that warrior-like vibe that, after a cycle of fighting to get things done, you can now lean back and rest a bit, while contemplating your accomplishment.
I still have tons of things to do, both related to my job and to my studies, but for tonight… yeah, I guess I will do just that. Sit, take a deep breath and enjoy the fact I have finally made my very own runes, under the blessing of the full moon.
