In ancient times, Runes were used by the shamans and healers of Scandinavia: wandering rune-masters and rune-mistresses would pass through town casting their Runes to foretell the future. Our rune-master/mistress's set contains 24 Pewter Runes and one blank made from lead-free pewter, a muslin bag, and a complete booklet on how to cast the Runes, including layout and a table defining each Rune by symbol and name.
