Runecasting is the use of
Norse rune symbols to predict fortune. The common setup is a collection of twenty-five stones, each carved with a Norse letter. Stones are drawn from the bag, and laid out in a spread, often in a method similar to
Tarot cards.
The runes used are Old Norse letters, with the exception of the blank (or Fate) rune, which seems to be a Neopagan addition.
