Learning the runes and want a way to practice? Interested in Norse history and want a cool themed set playing cards? Then the Rune Cards are for you.

A full 54 card set of playing cards, with the Elder Futhark runes and their meanings. 24 cards each have a rune and their meaning, while another 24 cards each have a rune and an image associated with the meaning. Three of the aces have "cheat sheets" for the three Aetts, and the fourth ace has a modern pronunciation guide. The two jokers have some extra rune facts.

The Rune Cards are great for:

  • Seeing the runes on a regular basis to remind you of them
  • Using as flash cards (especially the image-only cards) to test your knowledge
  • Rune readings with a familiar tarot-style layout
  • A convenient, discreet divination tool that's easy to travel with and easy to pass off as mundane
  • Gifts for that friend of yours who just really loves vikings

Whether you believe in the runes as a magical tool, a link to your heritage, or just a really cool aesthetic, the Rune Cards are for you. They're both a great study aid and a fully playable poker deck.

Keep in mind that each rune has meanings and history that could fill an entire book - if you're using the Rune Cards as your only learning tool, you're missing out. The meaning cards are there to help and remind you, but it's best if you pick up a book dedicated to the runes, such as Diana Paxson's excellent work, Taking Up the Runes.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
