How it works
How a rune reading works
A rune reading at Yggr's Eye is four steps: you choose a format and ask one focused question; I review the request; the runes are drawn or thrown by hand and photographed exactly as they fall; you receive the photograph and a recorded interpretation by private link, usually within three days. Nothing is charged or booked until I have read your request. Your first reading is free.
1. Choose a format
| Format | What it is for | What you receive | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single Rune Draw | One clear question, or a rune to sit with for the week | Photo of the draw, 3–5 min recorded interpretation | $20 |
| Three-Rune Spread | A situation with a history: what was, what is, what is becoming | Photo of the spread, 8–12 min recorded interpretation | $40 |
| Custom Rune Throw | A question with several threads; read by where the staves land, how they face, and which touch | Photo of the full throw, 15–20 min recorded interpretation | $60 |
| The Nine Nights | The question that will not sit still | Intake, 45-minute live session, several casts, nine nights of follow-ups, written summary | $150 |
Your first reading is free in any format except The Nine Nights, including the full custom throw. One free reading per person.
The three-position layout and reading a throw by position are modern methods. I use them because they are useful, and I say so every time. Modern
2. Ask one focused question
Write it in your own words on the form. A sentence or two of context helps; the whole story does not. Questions that begin with "what" or "how" give a cast more to work with than questions that begin with "will". See How to ask a question a rune can hold below.
3. I review the request
Every request reaches me personally. I reply within three days. If I accept, you receive either a payment link for the paid formats, a scheduling link for The Nine Nights, or simply a confirmation for a free reading. If I decline, I say so plainly; usually it is because the question asks for a prediction I will not pretend to make.
4. The runes are cast and the reading recorded
The staves are drawn blind from the pouch or thrown onto the cloth, and photographed before I say a word. Then I record: the rune names and the lines from the rune poems first, labelled as attested; then how the staves sit together, labelled as my method; then what I would do with the cast if the question were mine, labelled as my interpretation.
You receive the photograph and the recording through a private link that expires after 90 days. Save what you want to keep. Nothing from your reading is posted publicly.
What a reading is not
It is not a prediction. The sources that survive about runes, the inscriptions, the rune poems, and the Eddic poetry, give us names and images, not a method of foretelling. I read for reflection and decision support. I will not tell you what someone else is thinking, whether a person will return, or anything about your health, money, or legal matters as a forecast.
How to ask a question a rune can hold
- One question, not three. If you have three, the first one you wrote is usually the real one.
- Prefer "what" and "how" to "will".
- Two sentences of context.
- Something you can act on within the next month.
Short FAQ
- How long does a reading take to arrive?
- Usually within three days of approval. The Nine Nights is scheduled live.
- Do I need to be present?
- Only for The Nine Nights. Recorded readings are done on my table and sent to you.
- Can I ask a follow-up?
- For recorded readings, one short follow-up by email is welcome. Follow-ups over nine nights are what The Nine Nights is for.
- Are you going to tell me my future?
- No. See "What a reading is not" above.
