Runes Stone Set in Pouch - Snake Jasper

A full set of snake jasper rune stones in a printed cotton pouch: twenty-five polished stones of the jasper whose brown and cream mottling looks like snakeskin, twenty-four engraved with the Elder Futhark and one blank. Snake jasper is the most patterned of the jasper rune sets, every stone a different scatter of scales, and in crystal practice jasper is the grounding stone while the snake is the old symbol of transformation and shedding what is finished, so this set is read for readings about change: a move, a job, a skin to be shed. 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; where exactly they began is still argued. The earth colours suit a wooden table and a natural cotton cloth, and the stones have the weight of jasper in the hand. Pouch 11 by 9cm, 230g.
