Rune Stone Set in Pouch – Snake Jasper
About this piece
Twenty-five stones in sage green and cream, with a mottled, scale-like pattern that really does recall snakeskin. Each stone carries a rune symbol, and the full set of snake jasper runes comes in a printed cotton pouch, ready to be drawn or cast whenever you want a different angle on a question.
The origins of runes are still debated; one theory places their first use with Germanic tribes such as the Goths, somewhere between 2000BC and 100AD. Snake jasper takes its name from that pattern, and the snake has long stood for shedding the old and moving on. It is traditionally associated with change and renewal, which makes it a fitting gift for anyone at a turning point.
Use it when you are weighing a decision. Cast three stones in a row for past, present and what is coming, and notice which markings catch your eye. A few minutes with the pouch makes a calm end to the day.
