The Runes are Germanic and Norse.  They are not Celtic.  Using Ogham, lots, crannchur, and wooden sticks, to divine the future is a very Celtic thing to do.  Why not study those?*p*I recommend studying the Ogham, as the traditions, cosmology and deities surrounding the Runes are not fully synchronized with Celtic tradition and practice.  If they call to you, then you should seek them, but why confuse a pathway that already has a way that is traditional?*p*There is nothing wrong with being eclectic in one's seeking, if one is eclectic in practice.  If one is Celtic in practice, then the eclectic knowledge will at some time become synchronized with the traditional knowledge or coimgne.   This was a primary function of the Filidh and is one reason why the tales of the Leabhar Gaba/la became synchronized with Christian traditions and myths after Christianity was embraced by the Irish.  We've all seen the results that attempt at synchronizing has created.*p*Searles*p**br*Taliesin_2 wrote,*br*: I'm interested Runes.
