The Runes card deck brings all 24 Elder Futhark runes to hand in a format built for use. Each card carries Galaxara's original illustration from The Runes book, making this a working Norse divination deck rooted in the same scholarship and design that defines the full set.
The Elder Futhark is the runic alphabet Isar Oakmund considers the most magically potent, and these cards are a direct expression of that conviction. Draw a single rune, lay out a spread, or use the deck alongside The Runes guidebook for a fully grounded practice. Each card is a piece of Norse art in its own right.
Sold separately. Works as a standalone deck and as part of The Runes complete set.
