<p>It's not much, but it's a good enough introductions for anyone hoping to make their own set of runes.<br/> <br/> <b><u>Materials</u></b><br/> The debate about what materials can, can't and shouldn't be used for<br/> runes is up there with the debate of Christ's mortality, so I'll stick<br/> to the bare facts.<br/> <br/> <b>Bone</b><br/> Bones are considered to be the older form of runes, deer, carabou, moose<br/> and bear being the most common. Tooth, horn and claw are also<br/> appropriate. Bone has been said to channel the "Primal" force of nature,<br/> the kill-or-be-killed energy that balances our 'magic', and is thus<br/> considered to be the best conduit for divination, especially with the<br/> raw nature of the heathen way. Bones from an animal you have hunted and<br/> killed yourself are, of course, the best to use, even if it's as small<br/> as a rabbit.<br/> <br/> <b>Rock</b><br/> Rock is a perfectly acceptable medium for runes, and probably the most<br/> (professionally) common. I personally suggest you use raw rock that you<br/> harvest, polish and carve yourself, as it shows the severe dedication<br/> the runes draw from best.<br/> <br/> <b>Wood</b><br/> Wooden runes are a touchy subject, as wood is perishable and denies the<br/> natural permamancy of runes. Petrified wood is a common material,<br/> although I'd personally avoid it, as you don't always know what wood it<br/> is. Oak, Elm, Ash and Yew are the most appropriate, birch and pine are<br/> also acceptable. Avoid mistletoe (for obvious reasons) and blackthorne<br/> completely.<br/> <br/> <b>Semiprecious Stones</b><br/> The energy of stones like jasper, malachite and lapis make them perfect<br/> for runesets, although it's thought that the runes can 'taint' a read,<br/> and turn the outcome. Use stone sets for casts where you want a specific<br/> type of answer: Jasper if you're seeking ways to aid yourself<br/> spiritually, for example, or Lapis if you seek knowledge and glory.<br/> <br/> <b>Crystal</b><br/> I don't personally like using crystal runes, as the energies they<br/> contain and channel can overpower the messages sent to the runes.<br/> Obsidian is probably the best if you really desire a crystal set, but<br/> avoid quartz and amethyst, as they can alter the outcome of the cast by<br/> their nature.<br/> <br/> <b>Amber and Glass</b><br/> Amber is a good, but short lived, material for runes, and glass makes a<br/> perfect channel for the energy of the runes. But unless you use heat<br/> hardened, neatly cut pieces, the set wont last very long, and replacing<br/> runes can often lead to poor energy in casts.<br/> <br/> <b>Mixed Materials</b><br/> Apart from mixing the colour of rock or bone that you're using, I would<br/> suggest avoiding mixing your sets. Using runes of different material,<br/> and the same goes for runes from different sets, can cause the runes to<br/> 'not recognise' each other, and you often end up with conflicting<br/> readings and even casts where the stones completely contradict each<br/> other.<br/> <br/> <b><u>Method</u></b><br/> I'm not going to go into methods of carving rock, crystal or wood here,<br/> if you don't already know, it's not hard to learn. The methods I'll<br/> discuss are spiritual.<br/> <br/> Runesets should be carved over a period of nine days following the<br/> tradition of Grimnir hanging apon the World Ash for nine days, and nine<br/> is a sacred number in norse culture. Meditate on the meanings,<br/> signifcance and energy of each rune as you carefully carve the image<br/> onto it's face. If you're a heathen, drink to the gods at the end of<br/> your work, if not, do whatever is applicable to your faith. This same<br/> technique can also be used for making runic items of any kind: carving a<br/> wand or a stave, engraving a sword or athame, even just scratching<br/> runes into a box.<br/> <br/> <b><u>What are the Runes?</u></b><br/> <br/> The Futhark runes are a sacred relic of norse mythology, a language of<br/> most of the northern lands and a divinatory tool of most of today's<br/> pagan world. They are not toys to be played with, you don't play 'rune<br/> games', and you don't ask them silly questions like 'what is my future<br/> husband's name?'.<br/> <br/> The runes have power, they are a link to something primal, something<br/> deep. People have speculated that the runes answers come from within<br/> you, from the Earth Herself, from the norse landvaettir and even from<br/> Odin himself. I say: why not all of them. Well maybe not from Odin,<br/> seeing as they already had power when he found them. But who knows, Ol'<br/> One Eye has a habit of meddling.</p> Eye Ball Pendantstag:travelingwithintheworld.ning.com,2011-09-12:2185477:Topic:1457052011-09-12T14:30:51.248ZCynthia Oakleyhttp://travelingwithintheworld.ning.com/profile/CynthiaOakley

<p>Angus should be able to do this. If he needs the pattern it can be gotten to him. Thre are various pictures in the past creations group as well of one's that have been done before. I beleive that Drago still has an older pair that is steel bladed as well. That could easily be recreated by a leather and metal smythe.</p> For Lady Autumntag:travelingwithintheworld.ning.com,2011-02-24:2185477:Topic:1049422011-02-24T02:03:13.638ZDept of PMM Artists & thingshttp://travelingwithintheworld.ning.com/profile/Artistsandthings

I would be giving credit to designer, as I do not like to take credit belonging to others. Thanks.</p>

Something slightly different from the ones seen in Jackie Chan's Drunken Master 2. A shorter drinking lip would be more desirable as well as a handle and shoulder strap made out of cord instead of the common leather I've seen. I'd like it to hold approx. 1.5 - 2 quarts of liquid and still have a cap/lid that hangs by a piece of matching cord. What I see as being difficult is that i'd like to keep its Diameter at around 3 inches. The Length can be whatever it needs to be to hold the approx. amount of liquid. I don't know what the 'chambers' of bamboo are called but I'd like it, if it was possible, to contain 2 such chambers. I don't know what other information I could give that would describe the item. The item is for my SCA persona. I've included a video clip from the movie and the item is featured starting at 3 mins into the clip. Thank You.</p>
