A few years ago I created my own Runes set. It was very simple, I picked up rocks from my hiking trips and visits to the beach. I then used a permanent marker to draw each Rune symbol on each rock and then put a coat of clear nail polish.
I like to keep all my tools around my home on book cases and altar's. I had my set of Runes at my mothers home in a book case, I tend to place such things along with a book to describe what they are, so that when people visit they can admire my tools as they move around the home.

We recently moved from my mothers home, so I have been slowly bringing my things out of her home and into mine. This past week I brought my Runes Set and book and placed it in my altar I keep at work. Because the environment at work got to be a bit harsh, I decided to place a very visible altar at my work place which includes my Runes set.
Every morning, as Im always the first one in the office, I take five minutes to do a Tarot reading and now I included a Rune reading. Which is really me picking a Rune a day in hopes of me developing my skills.
