How to make your own runes
I highly recommend you make your own instead of buying them because you can bond with them more easily. Of course if you purchase them from a local shop or want to help an artist out buy them from there.
You can pretty much use anything from pieces of paper to the most fancy crystals. You can use pebbles, crystals, shells and whatever else comes to mind. I personally used seashells because I had some laying around in a box and wanted to put them in use.
Now you can get very creative with the symbols, but you can copy the default ones above. I used paint to paint the symbols on my shells but you can use a sharpie as well. Make sure to varnish them afterwards so that they get preserved for way longer.
Afterwards, you can bless them or put them in your altar overnight. I like to play with them when I watch videos to bond with them a bit more each time. Cleanse them when it feels necessary to you or you can do it every mew moon.
