Making Rune Symbols

I was considering making my own runes and symbols, but before I start I wanted to know if anyone had some tips they could share with me about it. Is there anything that makes runes more/less legitimate? Thanks!

I guess you could make an alphabet table for your runes. Just like Norse, they have alphabetical runes and they have runes that have meaning behind it.

I think you're thinking of sigils and not runes. Pretty sure runes are a preset thing and creating your own would do nothing. Sigils are symbols you make yourself or that others have made for spells and other witchcraft.

Yea listen to Tea. I wasnt so sure about creating your own runes. Sigils fit it better as you can certainly create a sigil of your own.

In thw use of runes for divination, as they represent more in that case than their representative sound, are they not sigils themselves?

I say one can absolutely make their own set of runes, to serve a myriad of purposes -- from being a 'secret language' for a book of shadows, or simply holding additional meanong with spells, to divination, to each being an individual sigil for its own purpose.

Because why not? It would have a deeper meaning to the creator of the system.

Great advice persona. But it is also important to keep in mind at all times that 'runes'/'sigils' don't have much (if anything at all) to do with magick.

Thank you all, I appreciate it.

Analyst, a symbol in itself is not magic. I never made such a claim.

And though it offends your obviously delicate sensibilities, there are people who use runes and sigils in legitimate magic practices. Just because it is not what you practice does not make it irrelevant.
