Want to create your own bind runes, but don’t know where to begin?
Runic Connections: The Practical Handbook for Creating Binding Runes is a straightforward, practical introduction to the art of creating meaningful bind runes using the Elder Futhark.
Written for beginners, this book takes you beyond simply copying symbols you find online. Instead, MJ Meredith guides you through the process of understanding individual runes, identifying your intention, choosing the runes that reflect that intention and bringing them together to create a bind rune that has meaning for you.
You don’t need years of experience or an encyclopaedic knowledge of runes. Runic Connections is designed as a Bind Runes 101 — giving you the foundations, tools and confidence to start creating your own.
Inside you’ll explore:
- the Elder Futhark runes and their individual meanings
- how to turn an idea or purpose into a clear intention
- how to select runes that support that intention
- different ways of combining and arranging runes into a bind rune
- practical exercises and examples to help you develop your skills
- the importance of ethics and thoughtful rune creation
- useful reference charts you can return to as you create.
Whether you want to create a bind rune representing courage, protection, love, strength, healing, connection, new beginnings or another intention that matters to you, this handbook gives you a practical place to start.
More importantly, it encourages you to understand why you are choosing each rune rather than simply reproducing someone else’s design.
There is no single perfect bind rune waiting to be discovered. Your choices, intention and relationship with the individual symbols are part of the creative process.
Learn the runes. Define your intention. Combine the symbols. Create something meaningful.
Runic Connections is for curious beginners, rune enthusiasts, artists, jewellery makers and anyone ready to move from looking at bind runes to creating their own.
Available in print and eBook editions.
