Witch's Runes Set - 13 pictograms for direct readings
Runes without an alphabet. That is the most striking thing about the Witch's Runes. Instead of letters you get thirteen symbols that call up an image directly: a sun, a moon, an eye, a star. They are designed to show you something quickly, without detours.
This set contains 13 wooden runes, a jute-like storage bag and a 176-page full-colour guidebook. Developed by Cecilia Lattari, a theatre educator who translates stories and archetypes into workable tools. The system is clear, the explanations accessible.
How it works
You shake the runes in the bag while holding a question in mind. Draw one or more stones and look at what you see. The pictograms give immediate direction. The guidebook provides context: what each symbol represents, which questions suit it, how to read multiple runes together.
It is a hands-on system. The stones lie heavy in the hand, the wood feels warm. That makes the physical part of the reading stronger than with cards.
What you find in the book
The book gives history and background but stays practical. Each rune gets a full description: meaning, possible themes, example questions. There are spreads, from a simple single draw to more elaborate patterns.
The text is clear, no fuss. It assumes you want to get started right away. There are no lengthy philosophical treatises. Just enough information to use the runes with confidence.
Write down the symbol and your first impression after each reading. Over time you will see how certain pictograms recur and what that says about your question patterns.
Who this system works for
This is a good starting point if you are new to divination. The thirteen symbols are easy to remember, the meanings stay close to the image. At the same time it offers enough depth for experienced readers looking for a more compact system alongside tarot or other oracles.
The format is small enough to take anywhere. The bag fits in a handbag, the runes are sturdy enough for daily use.

Questions we often get
Are these the same runes as the Norse Futhark?
No. This is a standalone system with 13 pictograms and its own meanings. It has no connection to the traditional Norse rune alphabet.
Do I need prior knowledge to work with this?
No. The book explains everything from the beginning. The symbols are visual enough to get started quickly, even without experience with other divination methods.
