I was looking at the anglo runes for divination since there are more meanings in the mix. Do you have experience with those?

i know them well but i dont really use them for divination. ive tried however, i made a set of them, painted river stones, one side white and the other black. put a tiny drop of my own blood in the red paint and painted the runes in red on the white side while chanting their names. ive gotten interesting results using them for divination although the last time was several months ago. i asked the runes who the identity of saxneat was, using 3 runes, ingwaz, tiwaz and sowilo, i asked the runes whether saxneat was another name for ingwaz or tiwaz as some scholars theorized, or whether saxneat is a unique tribal god, personal to the saxons themselves. although i personally believe the last theory since it makes the most sense based on the literature we have, i kept getting tiwaz, while ingwaz and sowilo would always be black with no runes showing. am still unsure, but interesting that the runes would tell me this

I've had curious results with runes where I kept getting the same reply over and over until they 'snapped' and started giving me hagalaz, as if telling me to fuck off.

About making your runes, provided you can't do it or aren't skilled enough for anything decent, is it really that bad to have somebody else craft them? I use handmade oak runes since I prefer them wooden.

ive had similar incidents . they dont seem to like being bothered or doubted 
its not bad, but i wouldnt expect them to have the same power as if you made them yourself.

Even if you consecrate and energize them properly, keep them with you for a long time?
