Zen Runes

I bought this little treasure a few years back (maybe 4 years ago now?). I know a lot of people tend to think that Runes are just Nordic, historically. But this set of runes is absolutely wonderful if you are interested in Zen or Asian philosophies. If you are a Nordic lover though, please do not try to merge the two as they each have their own unique backgrounds, it would be like comparing Europe to Asia. Each have their own beauty, myths, and mystery. But if you are just drawn into the field of Divination, keep an open mind with this wonderful set as it offers a different perpective than the average Western decks/rune sets.

Very Very Nice Set of Runes

This is a really well put together and well thought out addition to the traditional runes. I have been familier with runes for a number of years and this set peaked my interest. I was not in the least sorry that I bought them. Even tho I wondered how the two philosophies would mesh...I was pleasantly surprized to find that not only did they mesh but the zen features added to the original runes. The book was a joy to read and had a lot of wisdom of its own... I love to "tote" around one of these runes each day. They are lovely and nice to focus on and meditate to as well as to use with the spreads described in the book. I think you'll enjoy these very much.

This is the best rune set I have used.

I have been actively studying zen for nearly seven years. I have also been actively using runes since I was ten years old. When I discovered this particular rune set, I was flabbergasted. I spent the last twenty bucks I had to get them, & I haven't been disappointed in the least. The runes are beautiful, the book is filled with wisdom, and I have found a greater clarity in my readings than ever before.
