Norse Runes are an ancient alphabet used in Germanic countries. Today, they are used in magic and divination by many Pagans and Wiccans. Although their meanings can sometimes be a bit obscure, most people who work with runes find that the best way to incorporate them into divination is to ask a specific question based upon your current situation. Although you don’t have to be of Norse ancestry to use the runes, you’ll have a far better understanding of the symbols and their meanings if you have some knowledge of the mythology and history of the Germanic peoples; this way you can interpret the runes in the context in which they were meant to be read.

This Plugin allows you to use runes as a functioning part of your website.

Here are some of the current features:

  • Show all the Runes on a given page.
  • Show a specific rune with meaning on a given page.
  • Show the Definition of a given Rune by a Tool Tip or a Defined Definitions Page.
  • Current Spreads Available
    • Odin’s Rune (One Rune Layout)
    • Past, Present and Future (Three Rune) Layout
    • Expanded Celtic Cross Spread (Twelve Rune Layout)
    • Custom Spread

Features for Future Releases:

  • Ability for people to create accounts and track readings over time.
  • Ability to do different castings with Meanings and Interpretations. Some examples:
    • Two Rune Layout
    • Four Directions Layout
    • Five Rune Cross Layout
    • Midgard Serpent Layout
    • Bifröst Layout
    • Grid of Nine Layout
    • Odin’s Nine Layout
    • Egil’s Whalebone Layout
  • Adding ability for someone to show any number of runes on a page so they could do their own rune spreads even if they are not known to the system.
