I've been doing runes for a long time. As a master of working with them, sometimes I do it with my own hands to order. In this case, I choose the material intuitively, if there are no specific wishes of the customer. I will immediately answer the question: runes should be purchased from natural materials, wood or stone. Next, we will consider the question of what material has what characteristics, and return to the activation of runes.
About the materials: 🌳 Tree: The beech tree is a symbol of ancient knowledge, revealed in relics, ancient temples, spells, and manuscripts. The book is a guide from the past to the future, passing knowledge from generation to generation. He is able to accumulate information and keep it in himself for centuries. In the esoteric tradition of the North, the runes Nautiz and Perth are associated with the beech. Beech is a hard tree, but it has a soft, enveloping energy. The beech dies are very pleasant to the touch, you will feel it as soon as you take them in your hands. It's a pleasure to work with him. Beech is not as difficult to cut and burn as ash and oak-beech is not fibrous and, despite its strength, is quite soft to work with. The ash tree symbolizes the divine nature of humanity. Helps a person to find his true purpose. Activates the energy for clairvoyance. Increases the ability to foresee in those who sincerely want to see their future. This is the tree of rebirth, renewal.
The pine tree is a tree of insight on the spiritual and intellectual levels. It supports you in creative projects and plans. Relieves stress, treats nervous disorders, relieves feelings of guilt, irritation. This tree is purifying-it cleanses the energy space around a person, his aura, energy. To the person who really loves the pine tree and to the person who comes to it for help with an open heart, it gives very powerful support. It slows down the flow of energies that cause aging. It is no accident that many peoples have a pine tree-a symbol of immortality.
However, there are pine trees contraindications: it can exacerbate angina, i.e. you need to be more careful for people who have severe heart failure. However, this applies rather to a long and dense communication with the tree (for example, hour-long walks in a pine forest).
Pine is not very tough, but it is fibrous.
Also the runes used are cedar, birch, Apple, cherry...

Now about the activation. I do not recommend buying activated runes. The energy of the seller affects their work. The best option is to clear the runes from extraneous energies ( fumigation with herbs, aromas), and activate them yourself.
