What are some unique divination systems and rune sets I should explore?
Asked by

I'm into various divination methods like oracle decks, astrology, scrying, pendulum readings, and both Elder Futhark and Witch runes. I'm curious if there are any rune sets that I might be missing out on, and I'm also looking for recommendations for good tarot decks apart from the Thoth tarot. I enjoy using trinkets too, so I'd love to discover more systems to learn about!

You can really get creative with alphabets! Many can be adapted into systems similar to runes, so definitely experiment with that. Another interesting method to check out is geomancy sticks, and I can't stress enough how valuable the I Ching is for divination.

When it comes to rune sets, the Elder Futhark runes are cool because their meanings often come from adapting the Anglo-Saxon Futhorc rune poem. If you dive into that, you might want to explore Futhorc to gain some additional meanings. There’s also the Younger Futhark, which has distinct poems associated with it.
On the modern side of things, you can look into "Witch Runes" which emerged from recent neopaganism. Just a heads up—avoid Armanen Runes; that whole thing has a nasty history connected to Nazi appropriation.
For tarot decks, Oracle Decks are plentiful! A favorite suggestion is the Lenormand Deck; it's quite different in style and approach compared to Tarot!
