Runes Stone Set in Pouch - Black Agate

A full set of black agate rune stones in a printed cotton pouch: twenty-five polished stones in deep matt black, twenty-four engraved with the Elder Futhark and one blank. Black agate is the plainest-looking rune stone and the easiest to read: the engraved letters stand out pale against the dark surface, so a cast can be read across a table in candlelight, and the set looks right on the dark cloths of the witchcraft shelf. Runes are the old Germanic alphabet, twenty-four letters that are also words and meanings, cast for divination since the early centuries AD and perhaps far earlier; the uncertainty is part of what draws people to them. In crystal practice black agate is the protective, grounding stone, so this is the set for readers who want their divination tool to double as a guard, and the one most often bought for someone whose practice is already dark in colour. Pouch 11 by 9cm, 230g.
