We believe in being open about how Ask the Runes is funded. This page explains the advertising and affiliate relationships that support the Site, in plain language.
How Ask the Runes Is Supported
Ask the Runes is free to read. We keep it that way through two things: display advertising and a small number of affiliate links. Neither one changes what we write. Our guidance to the runes stays honest regardless of what pays the bills.
Display Advertising
The Site shows ads served by third-party advertising networks. These networks may use cookies to display ads that are relevant to you. We do not control which specific ads appear on any given page. For details on the data involved and how to opt out of personalized ads, see our Privacy Policy.
Affiliate Links
Some of our pages include affiliate links to products such as rune sets, books, and related items. If you click an affiliate link and buy something, we may earn a small commission. You pay the same price either way, and the commission comes from the retailer, not from you.
We only mention products we consider genuinely relevant to rune reading. A commission never buys a recommendation. If we link to a rune set or a book, it is because we think it may be useful to a reader, not because of what it pays.
Where relevant, we participate in affiliate programs including the Amazon Associates Program. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
Not Professional Advice
The content on Ask the Runes is for educational, reflective, and entertainment purposes. Rune reading is a tool for reflection, not a substitute for professional advice. Nothing here is medical, legal, financial, or psychological advice. For decisions that matter, please consult a qualified professional.
