Elder Futhark Runes and the Seven Chakra Stones
The Elder Futhark is the oldest form of the runic alphabet, consisting of 24 symbols used across Scandinavia, the British Isles, and continental Europe from roughly the second century CE onward. Each rune carries a name, a phonetic value, and a set of divinatory and magical meanings drawn from Norse cosmology and Old Germanic tradition. A blank rune is sometimes added as a twenty-fifth tile representing the unknowable or Wyrd. This set uses the complete Elder Futhark as its divinatory system and carves each rune onto a gemstone tile chosen for one of the seven chakras.
The seven chakra system originates in Hindu and Tantric traditions, describing energy centers along the spine from the root to the crown. Each center is associated with specific colors, qualities, and correspondences. This set bridges Norse runic tradition and chakra energy work by distributing the runes across tiles in the seven chakra colors, from deep red for the root chakra through violet for the crown. A practitioner can consult both a rune’s traditional meaning and the energetic quality of the chakra-associated stone it is carved on simultaneously.
Working with a Layered Divination Tool
Practitioners who work with both runes and crystals will find this set opens interpretive layers that single-material sets do not offer. Drawing a rune and noting whether it falls on a red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, or violet stone adds a somatic and energetic dimension to the reading. A rune landed on green jasper carries different resonance than the same rune on amethyst, inviting the reader to consider where in the energy field the rune’s message lands. This makes the set particularly well suited to practitioners doing body-based or chakra-oriented healing work alongside Norse practice.
How to Use a 7 Chakra Rune Set
Three approaches for using a chakra gemstone rune set in divination and energy work.
- Learn the Runes Before Combining Systems
Spend time with the runes as a standalone system before adding the chakra layer. Learn each Elder Futhark symbol’s name and traditional meaning. A solid rune foundation makes the chakra addition enrich readings rather than confuse them.
- Cast or Draw and Read the Stone Color
Cast runes face-down on a cloth or draw from a bag as usual. Once a rune lands or is drawn, note the chakra color of that tile first. Consider what that center represents, then layer the rune’s meaning over it for a fuller interpretation.
- Use Individual Stones for Chakra Placement
The gemstone tiles can be used in chakra work independent of divination. Place the tile whose color matches an energy center you are working with on or near that area of the body during meditation, adding the rune’s energy to the stone’s.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
I carry this rune set because it solves a genuine gap: practitioners who work with both Norse runic divination and chakra energy work have historically had to maintain two separate toolsets. This set merges them without forcing either system to compromise. The runes are correctly carved in Elder Futhark, and the chakra stone associations follow standard correspondences.

Basic rune knowledge is more important to start. The chakra layer adds depth once rune meanings are familiar. Beginners can use this purely as a rune divination tool and incorporate the chakra associations gradually as their practice develops.
A standard stone rune set uses one stone type for all tiles. This set uses seven chakra-associated gemstones, so each tile carries both the rune’s meaning and its chakra stone’s quality, creating a layered reading tool for integrative practice.
