Oracles: runes, I Ching, and Lenormand
Oracles put a question to chance so you can listen better: a rune, a hexagram, or a card, and what that sign brings to light.

The oracles
The 24 runes
Twenty-four signs from the ancient Germanic alphabet, read today as advice: resources, path, pause, protection.
The I Ching
Sixty-four figures of six lines, born in China nearly three thousand years ago, for reflecting on how to act.
Lenormand cards
Lenormand cards are a deck of 36 images read in pairs: each card takes its meaning from the card beside it.
What an oracle can shed light on
A rune, a hexagram, or a card knows nothing about your life. Their value lies elsewhere: chance picks an angle, and that angle makes you look at the question differently than usual.
Versana presents each sign with what the ancient sources attest, then with the modern reading people make of it, without confusing the two.
An oracle sheds light on a situation; it does not tell the future: keep your own judgment and your own decisions.
Frequently asked questions about oracles
What is the difference between runes, the I Ching, and Lenormand cards?
Runes are the letters of an ancient Germanic alphabet, to which a meaning of advice is attributed today. The I Ching is a Chinese book of wisdom, built on 64 figures of six lines. Lenormand is a deck of 36 images read two at a time.
Which oracle should I choose?
For brief advice, one rune is enough. To reflect on how to act, the I Ching. For a concrete situation involving people and events, Lenormand cards, whose images name everyday situations.
Are the readings really free?
Yes, and with no sign-up. The reading happens in your browser: the question you write is sent nowhere and nothing is stored.
Can an oracle predict what is going to happen?
Versana never presents it that way. A rune, a hexagram, or a card is a way to pose differently a question you are already asking yourself; the decision remains yours.
