I have found that the cards are much more to my liking than the stones. for some reason I can identify a bit more with cards. great set for people more comfy with cards. I highly recomend it.

I have this. The cards are pretty and fun to use, but the book that explains their meanings is a little...vague. Somehow all of the meanings seem alike to me. Other definitions that I've read are a bit more specific and a little more paganish. The book does give directions though and that's nice.

The way the Elder Futhark (runes) are incorporated into such beautiful scenarios is reason enough to buy this deck. The book is also very useful, and avoids repeating the Book of Runes that came with a clay set.

A card deck of runes is also a lot easier to travel with; whenver I went through airports with my other rune sets, I was always afraid someone would damage my stones.

Regardless of whether you are a beginner or an expert, anyone who loves runes would love this deck.

I've Had This Deck For Quite A While Now And I Don't Really Use It. I Thought I'd Dig Them Out And Give A Review About Them, As I've Done With All My Decks of Cards That I've Got. Well, This Deck Is Pretty Simple, There Aren't Many Cards (Only 25) So There's Only Several Meanings To The Cards To Remember. This Is Pretty Simple, Compared To Reading The Tarot And Remembering 78 Meanings of The Cards, Not To Mention The Other 78 REVERSED Meanings If You Get Down Like That (lol). I Think These Cards Are Really Simple To Use, There's Nothing Complicated About Them At All. The Images On The Cards Are Just Beautiful And I Would Definitely Have To Recommend These Cards, Especially If You're Going Through A Particular Hard Phase In Your Life, I'd Highly Recommend Consulting Them On A Daily Basis. They Will Surely Work You Through Whatever Your Situation Is, No Matter How Bad You Might Think It Is, These Cards Have An Effect, I Want To Say Spiritual, That They Invoke Transformation Just By Using Them. Very Therapeutic!

I have always liked using the rune stones for guidance; so my husband bought me these as a gift.What artwork! They are easy to use and pretty to look at. What more could you want? These are a must have for readers and collectors.

If you are a searcher and need counsel, this book by Ralph Blum is for you. The beautiful cards and verses offer insight and wisdom. Ralph Blum connects the Runes with other traditions to form a whole for Christians and Ecelectic Pagans. For example, he has the Medicine Wheel Spread to connect with your mental, spiritual, physical, emotional selves on different levels.

However,if you are looking for an indepth study of the Runes and the Norse Gods, this book is not for you. Ralph Blum has his own version of the Elder Futhark. He also divorces the culture surrounding the Runes from the Runes themselves.

This was only the book without cards - what i really wanted was the cards, which i thought was included. Perhaps it was just the sender did not explain fully what this was.

I found the Rune Cards and the Book that accompanied them
in the box very helpful and informative. The book that explains
the meaning of the Cards was very significant.
