A practical bindrune may combine two or more runes to form a single design representing the runic powers of the included runes. The purpose of the bindrune is to enable a controlled release of those runic energies for the benefit of the user, or someone he or she wants to help or influence.

Bindrunes can only be used to help people, not to harm them. Any attempt to place a curse, prevent a person doing something, or to make something nasty happen to them will inevitably backfire on the user. Don' try it, it isn't worth it, believe me. 

Although a bindrune is a blending of runic characters, each rune included in the design has to retain its own individuality, it has to be visible as an entity within the whole. I find it is best to limit the design to no more than four or five characters so that it can still be symmetrical, balanced and pleasing to the eye.

There are exceptions to this rule, however. Some very ancient and highly effective bindrunes incorporate 6, 7 or even 8 different runes. But generally speaking, the simpler the design, then the more effective the bindrune will be.

Bindrunes are devised for specific purposes. They can generate mental activity such as memory, logic, emotion, enlightenment, strength of will, courage, fairness, clarity of thought. They can aid physical actions too, such as health, strength, speed, endurance, and all the 5 senses.

Bindrunes can produce a runic field of energy to protect your person, your home or possessions, your job or your business good-will, and they can enhance relationships by encouraging harmony, partnership, love or sexual attraction.

You could easily draw a bindrune on a piece of paper, wood, stone or anything and carry it with you hoping that it will have some effect. But the unempowered bindrune will be so weak that you would probably not notice any difference.

For a bindrune to work effectively it must be empowered (some runemasters refer to this process as consecration) in the correct way. The exact details of how I prepare and empower a bindrune are detailed in my recent book Discovering Runes which is available to buy on this site, but I can give you a quick outline here.

The choice of wood is important to the effectiveness of a bindrune. I keep about 20 types of wood so that I can always make an amulet that is compatible with the component runes.

During the whole process of cutting, polishing and branding the design, I followed a very ancient ritual for naming and empowering the individual runes. This involved a special environment, chanted invocations which I performed in the old tongue, and the use of certain natural accessories. 

When the bindrune was completed it was then sequestered in a secret place for a period under special conditions. The place I used for this was a ley cross - a point of very high earth energy where two positive ley lines cross each other.

For the sequesterment, the bindrune must be preserved in a particular way and hidden according to ancient rules for a set length of time that is determined by the component runes and the purpose of the bindrune itself.

Once the bindrune was released from sequesterment, the imbued power was awakened and invoked on behalf of the user.
