Runes - an ancient magic system, which represents the basic forces of nature. Runic symbols were used for divination and magic Nordic peoples who believe in contact with the natural forces through the appropriate runes. Attached are three kinds of divination runes: - Fast divination runes - often for a response to a question, it suffices to take one rune, its value - this is the answer to the question. In this case, excluded the possibility of misinterpretation, because other runes that can confuse - no. Especially recommended for beginners as well as for those who are interested in a particular issue. - Two runes - a combination of two runes gives a description of the current situation and the forces that affect you now, in the present. And so the question must not touch this or can not do without question. Two runes even without question, show characteristics of the present moment. - Three runes - a simple divination runes, but it allows you to answer a variety of questions and explain what forces influenced you in the past affect the present and will continue to affect the future. Selected only three runes: the first represents the recent past, the second - now third - the future.
