How To: Cast Runes
OK, it’s time to discuss rune casting. There’s really no wrong way to cast runes, and many right ways. The Roman historian Tacitus tells us that the ‘slips of wood cut from a fruit-bearing tree’ were cast like lots upon a white linen cloth (although no specific mention of runes is made, it is generally accepted that runes are of which he speaks). In different books, you’ll find as many different layouts for runes as you’ll find for tarot. Are these traditional? In some cases, probably not; in other cases, absolutely not. Does this invalidate these methods? For the most part, I’d say no. In my experience, where problems in interpretation might occur using, say, a Celtic cross layout is in trying to ‘pigeonhole’ each rune to fit a certain perspective.

Welcome to MysticWicks Magazine
Welcome!
The MysticWicks Magazine project was started three years ago. The issues were always great but getting there was a challenge. It has changed considerably since then. The authors are still writing their fantastic articles. The editing and graphics teams are wonderful. And thanks to our Editor in Chief, Elise, a much more efficient schedule is kept. There are still moments of insanity but things have really come together. I am personally very proud of each of the members of the staff and those that contribute their time to writing articles.
This is the newest leg of the journey, the newly designed website. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed getting it ready for you. Every keystroke is a labor of love. I hope to see this magazine grow into a fantastic source of information that will rival any online magazine out there.
If you, the reader, are interested in becoming a contributor please contact us. We will tell you how you can be a part of this project. As the tagline says, “created by the community, for the community”. YOU are a part of the community.
Be Well,
GEBS
