Well, as this subject is empty, I'm guessing that either no one uses runes on this site, or no one has any questions on them. Well, here's mine- it's good to be first. ;D In some rune sets there is included a blank rune. Some systems call this the 'Wyrd'- the rune that represents the unknown and, once it is pulled, a reading cannot continue, for it is a sign that the answers for this question are not for you or the one you are reading for. Personally, I like this system- after all, Fate should be able to tell you when knowing too much could be a bad thing. Then again, I'm a big believer in Fate. Other systems say the Wyrd is a misunderstanding, that the blank rune is to be used as a replacement in case you lose one or to represent some symbol of your choosing. Well, does anyone have a personal insight on this? I love a good, non-flame, non-troll debate.

He said that his set, that someone had bought him had one (a blank rune) but the more authentic sets don't. That it was something added later. I'm not sure but I'll enjoy seeing where this goes.

I love using runes. I have'nt used them in a while but I'll post my thoughts on the faceless rune. For me I see this rune as somethign that cannot be changed. No matter how you move it, fate is set. It's meaning relies much on the rest of the reading. It could also be read as keeping things hidden. Those are my thoughts. Hope I helped a bit. ^.^

i believe that the blank rune is something of a wildcard. for example, when you pulled the rune did you get any predominate feelings like "oh well, lets do this over", or did you feel that doing it over won't help. i've found that trusting your fellings is better than most other methods. lol, but i must admit that it really helps to have guidence. i wished i had some yrs. ago

I have two sets of Runes, one of bone and the other Birch. Neither have a blank rune. I am still learning them. I haven't done much divination with them, I have been reading up on their meanings and meditating on them. I spend more time with the Tarot than with the Runes.

A blank rune is important. Sometimes your future is cloudy and undetermainable. At these times you need Wyrd. But it's not a rune, no more than a space is a letter. But you still need it in your castings.

But you still need it in your castings. i dont think i have ever heard that but it kinda makes sense. i am going to dig around and see what i can find on this subject of blank runes.
