Some people want some info in Witches Runes...well...here it is. Taken bits and pieces from Patricia Crowther's Book "Lid off the Cauldron."
Witches Runes
The Sun
This is the rune of success and positive outcome. It can denote progress and personal enrichment in life, as well as being the rune for "yes" in a reading for a straightforward question. Acts like the outcome card for the tarot when is the leading stone (furthest from you).
The Moon
The four "x" marks represent the four main phases of the moon, and accordingly you can expect changes to occur within the next 28 days. This stone is particularly feminine and often appears in response to questions about women's issues such as the menses or pregnancy. This rune is a messenger; telling you to be aware that big changes are coming to your life. Whether that change will be positive or negative is best found by relating it to the rune closest to it.
Rings
This is the rune of love, and when it is the leading stone it is a positive answer to your question. It can also mean engagement, marriage or a new/renewed relationship about to emerge, sometimes speaking of the need to refresh and find a new approach in an existing partnership.
Crossed Spears
The symbol of the crossed spears signifies arguements, negative events: strife of an upsetting nature, rather like the Tower card in the tarot. If it is near to a positive rune it may indicate the end of a quarrel and repair of any damage done. Especially if it lies with the Rings, where it indicates the healing of a personal relationship or renewal of a partnership.
Positively, if you are in the army, navy or airforce this rune could mean you are due a promotion at work, or if you are ill a speedy and successful recovery.
Wave
The Wave rune is to do with the people around you, your friends and family and their influence upon you. Much of it's meaning is derived by the other stones closest to it.
As the Wave symbol may represent the sea, this rune is also associated with travel. A journey abroad is indicated especially if the Sun rune is nearby, but a journey for someone close to you if the Moon stone is closest. When cast near the Rings it foretells a holiday or long distance relationship.
Birds
A trio of birds carry a message of some unexpected news that may alter your life completely, particularly if this rune leads. Generally the news will lead to a positive change - look at the runes lying closest to it for a deeper insight into its nature.
The Birds can also mean the arrival of news about friends or family you haven't seen for a while, whether they live abroad or you just lost touch. Letters, documents and any other form of written communication/records should be watched out for because they will bring happiness.
Ear of Corn
This stone uses the symbolism of harvest to show abundance, success and happiness. This is a lucky rune and if leading is very positive about your query's outcome, whether it be about finances, business, friendship, partnership or spiritual questing. Specifically, with the Rings it indicates a happy and prosperous marriage, with the Sun it foretells fast progress and success in your chosen career, and with Waves, success abroad.
The Black Rune
This is a rune of difficulty, I see it as under the juristiction of the sphere "Geburah" on the Tree of Life. Negative influences rule your life for a time, but all losses and unhappiness are learning experiences and will lead to an improved personal perspective and progress on your life's path.
Again, the meaning of this rune depends on the stones lying nearest to it; when it lies with a positive stone it indicates that the pain and this experience will lead to a beneficial change in circumstances. Always relate this rune
