The Power Of The Runes Oracle

The most ancient of the Germanic peoples’ magical written symbols offer us deep insight into the hidden structures of the cosmos and the secrets of the human psyche. The Norse god Odin is thought to have invented the runes, a potent divination instrument. These esoteric magical symbols provide profound insight into the universe’s underlying structure as well as the innermost workings of the human psyche. This deck was constructed by Thomas Vomel (AKA Voenix) to vividly depict the characteristics of the runes on playing cards. One card represents each of the 25 runes in the Power of the Runes deck. Teutonic gods and mythology are depicted in archetypal situations in the artworks. Each visual representation of a rune perfectly encapsulates its essence. The rune number and accompanying phonetic letter are also shown on the cards. Each card has a rune letter and name in the runic alphabet at the bottom and top, respectively. Vomel provides a brief history of the runes, discusses the significance and symbolism of each card, and outlines numerous casting systems for using the cards to read for information and insights. All of this information is included in the instruction booklet.
