Great Runic Jewelry and gifts.

The Runes are thought to have originated with the Vikings who left these symbols at the places they plundered.

They predate Christianity and were used by people who need to write stuff down - recipes, spells, amongst others. Most of the knowledge and history of the rune symbols has been lost. What we have left are 24 symbols, each with it's own meaning - how much of this meaning is original is debatable.

You can see more esoteric jewelry at African Gold - here we make Yin Yang's, African masks amongst other beautiful South African made jewelry

These beautiful spinner rings made from titanium and silver or titanium and gold have runes inscribed around the outside - you can choose which rune you like  focusing your mind on where you want to be.

What has evolved is a series of symbols with ideas and concepts behind them.

They are used as a form of oracle, not divination - which is for telling the future. Oracle on the other hand works with your own knowledge and resources. There are an infinite number of possible outcomes to your choices. This tool will help guide you.

It is not a form of fortune telling as some people think. It gives new insight into your subject or issue. Once you have spent time on your subject you draw a rune. Whether you consider it pot luck or guided by your inner self you bring new knowledge into your reality - you cannot not be influenced,  whether you act or not, whether you  believe or not. You could see a witch doctor to tell the future or just do it your self!

What a great self tool - no gurus, dogma, religion. Just you. Dealing with your life. All and any symbols will help change your life,  as long as you attach the right meaning to the symbol you use you will be where your mind is - on the meaning, working in your subconscious. Universal concepts such as power, perception and serenity can be life changers if applied correctly

.These African Masks show examples of  African Symbols.
