In order to do a rune casting, you need to find the right place. It must be quiet and secluded, so you will have privacy and avoid interruption.  When you are practicing rune casting, there are couple things you should know to do.  The first is have your cloth with the boundaries on it before you cast your runes.  You should be facing  the north direction.  Your cloth should be placed in front of you and the surface that it is on should be hard.

Then keep the same question in mind throughout the rune reading, think hard about the question you want to ask. All runes should be of the same shape or size so that they will not be recognized, one from the other, and once you have decided on the question, mix the rune stones gently in the pouch, until you feel the urge to pick a rune from the pouch. Until you have the right number of the layout you will use, continue to mix the rune stones and draw from the pouch, this is called rune casting.

You will need to listen to your intuition when it comes to reading the runes, each rune can mean many different things and it is up to the reader to decide how the meanings apply to the question.

Each rune represents a part of a persons life with the first representing the past, the second the present, and the third the future and outcome of the present path.
