In my book Rune Magic I described the construction and use of two completely new instruments for the runes, rune dice and rune cards. These dice and cards are now available as separate purchases. However, those wishing to gain a complete understanding of the runes may wish to get the Power of the Runes kit.

This attractive boxed set contains a copy of Rune Magic along with a set of the Rune Magic Cards and a set of four hardwood Rune Dice. A separate booklet describes the use of the cards and dice in practical divination. A cloth bag with a drawstring is included in the kit for carrying the dice. It may also be used to store the cards.

Those new to the runes will find the Power of the Runes kit a convenient way to satisfy all their rune needs with a single purchase. The kit makes a very handsome gift for students of rune magic and rune divination. It is not merely a tool of instruction but of ritual use as well, since the rune cards and rune dice are power objects in their own right. The individual cards can be employed as rune talismans and astral doorways. Due to the physical construction of the dice, their tumbling when cast serves to call forth the forces of the runes on their faces that land uppermost.
