Hi so what do you know about bindrunes? or good resources to research them? I’ve been dabbling in using runes for a while (mostly for protection and calm, or focus, etc. Writing them on my hand or wrist) and sometimes bindrunes? I’ve been just going with what feels right to try and get the effect I want, and I’ve been successful so far. But one bindrune I keep writing I haven’t been able to find anywhere and while it definitely does what I want it to i wonder if it is documented somewhere?
All a bindrune is is several runes layered onto each other for a desired effect. So, say you have problems with public speaking, and want to make a bindrune for that. You simply choose the runes you think would help, and layer them onto each other.
Keeping public speaking as an example, I’d start with Ansuz.
Okay, now let’s add, in this case, Mannaz. Ansuz for communication and eloquence, Mannaz for the positive ties between humans, that should help.
Bam. There ya go. Bindrune. That’s it, that’s the whole complex process behind them. You could add more runes if you wished, but it’s just more of the same concept.
There’s really no ‘official list’ of bindrunes. They’re left, as you’ve been doing, up to the intuition of the practitioner and are as wildly varied as the mages who use them. So, it’s probable that yours is unique, and honestly that’s part of the beauty of it.
