OWL Ancient Runes
Welcome fifth years to OWL ancient runes. The runes are ancient Norse symbols, founded by the Norse god Odin as he hung from the Yggdrasil tree for nine days. There are 24 traditional futhark runes, each with their own meaning.

Runes can be used for different divination functions. You can use them to make charms and talismen. Some magic uses with candles and oils. They can be focals for your dreams and even in yoga. The main focus of the runes classes here are runic spread readings, which is similar to tarot.
