Program Title:  RUNE-CASTER version 1.01
PC-SIG version 1

In RUNE-CASTER, the casting of runes, an ancient tool of divination, is
used as a modern method to explore personal understanding and growth.
Runes are ancient letterings, each of which stands for a concept or
theme such as names, momentum, thorn, beach, path, torch, giving, joy,
hail, need, ice, harvest, support, kind, star, sprouts, horse, people,
water, awaken, and home.  Following a quick display of all 24 runes with
these one-word definitions at the onset, the RUNE-CASTER Menu appears.

Selection #1 lets you randomly select a rune by pressing a key while you
concentrate on the thought you want some insight on.  You are then
presented with an explanation of and thoughts about the rune on the left
side of the screen, and its detailed graphic representation on the
right.  Selection #2 approaches problems from the present situation, the
challenge to the situation, and the consideration of future potential.
Selection #3, the spiral five selection, uses five runes to explore a
topic in terms of its initial seed or vision and processes its coming to
fruition.  This method delves into the perspective of each rune fully
before proceeding to the next rune and so on through the five runes.

A brief history of rune usage is provided along with a bibliography
covering the subject.  The method of rune selection chosen is not a true
random selection, but depends merely on the timing of pressing a key.
Whether or not such timing yields divination is a matter for subjective
speculation.  However, the explanations and discussions of the runes are
provocative and can lead to unique examinations of problems and
decisions which could result in helpful insights.

This program is easy to use and an effective means for distracting
attention away from the workaday world to more fundamental and spiritual
areas.
