Indian rune set in a pouch — Serpentine jasper

Twenty-five stones engraved with the elder futhark, presented in their fabric pouch; the characters are carved and then picked out.

An olive green marbled with patterns suggesting snakeskin, between matte and satin.

Symbolic reading. The snake that sheds its skin makes it, in tradition, a symbol of renewal and transformation.

Use & care. Drawn blind, hand in the pouch, one to three depending on the question asked. Keep them in the pouch: the stones scratch each other if left loose.

• Serpentine forms by metamorphism of rocks from the earth's mantle brought back to the surface.
• A natural piece: shade, veining and dimensions vary from one example to the next

A decorative object for personal practice. It is no substitute for medical advice or treatment.
