MB Learn Runes Software is an educational tool for learning
the basics of runes reading. This program is extremely simple and very
useful for beginners who want to learn to read the runes. The program

Rune stones are 24 one-inch squares
of light stones. On one side of each is inscribed in ink the form and
name of an individual runic letter. Runes are similar to Tarot. The word
‘Rune’ has been derived from the old-root word meaning ‘hidden’ and
‘mysterious’. Dates back, Runes were used to carve inscriptions and
designed to defeat the wiles of tomb-robbers Runes were even credited
with the ability, when used by one gifted with occult powers, of
restoring the dead to life. During the middle ages, the people of
Northern Europe, the British Isles and the Scandinavians used certain
alphabetic scripts which, these days are popularly known as Runes. There
is no documented evidence as to when the Runes have been used as a form
of magick and divination. But today Runes are used much like the Tarot
cards for the purpose of fortune telling.
The program can be used to memorize
different meanings and keywords of the different stones as well as test
the user’s knowledge. As newer and more sophisticated decks are being
designed, it is very difficult for a novice to understand the basics
unless guided in the right direction. Only then can one develop a keen
interest and improve his intuitive skills.
