Standard Celtic Woods Corresponding rune set
The standard Celtic
Woods Corresponding rune set contains the full 24 Elder
Futhark runes and is crafted from sixteen different wood
types, all found naturally growing within the northern
hemisphere.
Spirit of Old's
craftsman has studied the runes in depth for many years
and has worked closely with wood and trees for most of
his life. Through learning about traditional pairings
and using his own, deep knowledge of wood, he has
skilfully brought together tree and rune to give a
set of traditionally corresponding runes.
Some of the wood types
feature only once in the set whereas others may be used
to craft two or more different runes. The symbols are
matched to the wood type which brings out the particular
attributes of that rune and some of the wood types
naturally overlap, simply because they are best matched
to different aspects of the same woods.
A truly individual set
of runes which is wonderful to work with.
Each set is supplied
with a simple cotton bag and a general rune information
sheet although there is no information about rune/wood
pairings or the specific woods used to craft the set.
In the words of Spirit
of Old's craftsman:
The runes are an
ancient alphabet of mystery, a system of writing which
has been used throughout northern Europe since
prehistory. The rune sets I make |
