Artwork of rune stones used for fortune telling
Rune stones. Computer artwork of pebbles marked with runes. It is claimed that these runes can be used in fortune telling by studying the order in which a person draws them from a bag. The runes allegedly help a person reach a decision by making them aware of things they know subconsciously. The word " rune" comes from a Viking word meaning " magic sign". Runes were devised about 1800 years ago by Germanic tribes who adapted Roman and Greek letters for carving. Runes have been found in arc- haeological sites across northern Europe. The rune alphabet, the futhark, has 16-33 letters depending upon the time and place that they were carved

This print showcases the intricate artwork of rune stones, which have long been associated with fortune telling and divination. Created through computer-generated imagery, these pebbles are marked with ancient runes that hold significant meaning. Drawing upon a rich Viking heritage, these magical signs were believed to unlock subconscious knowledge and aid individuals in decision-making processes. The term "rune" originates from the Vikings, who considered them as powerful symbols imbued with mystical properties. Dating back approximately 1800 years, Germanic tribes ingeniously adapted Roman and Greek letters to create this unique alphabet for carving purposes. Archaeological sites across northern Europe have yielded numerous examples of these enigmatic runes. The futhark, or rune alphabet, varies in size depending on the time period and location it was used. Ranging from 16 to 33 letters, each symbol carries its own significance and interpretation within the realm of fortune telling. By studying the order in which they are drawn from a bag or container, practitioners believe that one can gain insight into their subconscious thoughts and emotions. This mesmerizing artwork not only pays homage to ancient traditions but also serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with unlocking hidden truths through symbolism and mysticism.
