Info: The ‘Blank rune’ or ‘Void rune’ is a non-traditional element found in some modern tarot and runic sets. This rune is typically represented as completely empty or devoid of any markings, often in the form of a stone or card. It is not part of the traditional runic alphabet and has not been historically used.
The Blank rune is often associated by some modern tarot and runic practitioners with concepts such as ‘unknown potential’ or ‘open space for opportunities.’ Therefore, it can carry different meanings depending on the interpretation and context of the user. It is often interpreted as representing free will, creativity, or heralding new beginnings.
However, historically, a blank rune or similar concept has not been utilized. In runic inscriptions and traditional practices, specific symbols or marks corresponded to each letter. Thus, the blank rune is a preferred element by modern occultists or metaphysical practitioners but lacks a historical basis.
