The runes are an ancient method of divination and rune symbols were first used by the Vikings and other pre-Christian societies. Zen, as a widely-respected source of ancient wisdom, forms a natural complement to the runes. The Zen runes consist of 27 symbols, including three master runes which carry purely Zen messages. The book in this kit contains a clear examination of the origin and meaning of the runes, with a drawing of each rune symbol for simple identification, making use of the rune stones simple.
