Meanings
nounrunecast (plural runecasts)
plural runecasts
- An instance of runecasting.
Like an astrological chart, a runecast is a map of something that is likely to happen given your orientation in the world at the time of the inquiry. It is not an absolute. There is no reason why you should resign yourself to disaster every time your runecast indicates a problem.
1989, Lisa Peschel, A Practical Guide to the Runes: Their Uses in Divination and Magic, St. Paul, Minn.: Llewellyn Publications, page 9
