Rune Dice are a fun and easy way to use an ancient tool of inspiration, insight, and change! Rune dice make it easy to learn the runes and start on an inspired pathway of intentions in your life. 


1. Get yourself a set of rune dice: Start by acquiring a set of rune dice, which consist of different symbols representing ancient Norse runes. These can usually be found at metaphysical or specialty stores, or you can purchase them online.

2. Set your intention: Before using the rune dice, take a moment to set your intention for the practice. Think about what aspect of your life you would like to improve or gain insights into. It could be related to your relationships, career, personal growth, or any other area you find important.

4. Shake the dice: Take the rune dice in your hands and gently shake them while focusing on your intention. Allow your energy to flow into the dice as you infuse them with your purpose. 

5. Cast the dice: Once you feel ready, cast the dice onto a soft surface or a specially designed cloth for rune readings. Allow the dice to fall naturally, without interfering with their movement. Trust that the runes that appear will hold valuable insights for you.

6. Interpret the runes: Look closely at the symbols that have landed face up. Each rune has its own meaning and significance. Refer to a guidebook, online resources, or consult an expert in rune readings to interpret the messages conveyed by the runes. Reflect on how these meanings may relate to your current situation or question.

7. Apply the guidance: Take the insights gained from the rune dice and consider how they can inspire positive changes in your life. Reflect on the advice or messages received and explore how you can integrate them into your daily routines, decision-making, or overall mindset.

8. Practice regularly: To truly benefit from using rune dice to inspire a better life, make it a regular practice. Set aside dedicated time each week or month to perform a rune reading and gain new insights. Over time, you may find a deeper connection with the runes and witness their positive influence on your life.

Remember, rune dice are meant to guide and inspire, but ultimately, the power to create a better life lies within you. Use this tool as a means to tap into your inner wisdom and drive positive change in pursuit of a fulfilling and meaningful life.
