Jovial's Review: Bone Rune Cards from The Three Little Sisters

These cards are absolutely gorgeous! 

Using a very limited watercolor palette on what appears to be rough paper, the artist masterfully captured the fluttering of ravens, the stillness of bones, and the elder futhark. Each card also names the rune; making them perfect for a beginner wanting to memorize the shapes and meanings.

Runes, bones, and ravens are deeply intertwined in various mythologies, particularly within Norse and Celtic traditions, where they embody themes of fate, divination, and the mysterious.

Runes, the ancient alphabet used by Germanic tribes, were often inscribed on bones or stones and believed to possess magical properties. Each rune not only conveyed sound but also represented spiritual concepts and energies, allowing practitioners to tap into cosmic forces for guidance or prophecy.

Bones, as remnants of the dead or as tools for divination, symbolize the connection between the physical and spiritual realms. In ancient cultures, bones were used in casting lots or as mediums to communicate with ancestors and deities, often regarded as carriers of wisdom and fate.

Ravens, in these traditions, are powerful symbols of transformation and the unseen, often seen as messengers of the gods or omens of change. Their dark plumage is associated with mystery and the afterlife, bridging the gap between the living and the dead. 

Moreover, the Norse god Odin, associated with knowledge and war, was often depicted with two ravens, Huginn and Muninn, who represented thought and memory, emphasizing the importance of wisdom in understanding one’s destiny.

This triad embodies a deep reverence for nature, the cosmos, and the ever-present mysteries that govern life and death, urging individuals to seek insight and connection with the spiritual forces that shape their existence.

These cards combine these powerful concepts to create a rich tapestry of symbolism, illustrating mankind's quest for understanding the unknown, navigating fate, and connecting with ancestral wisdom.

I believe this deck is a must have for every seeker who wishes to tap into the wisdom of the ancients.

Each card is 2 3/4 inches x 4 3/4 inches (standard tarot size), and the deck is easy to shuffle.

They're packed in a hard plastic box ready to travel the world, and include a velvet pouch and a crystal, making them a perfect gift for nearly any occasion.
