Rune reading is an ancient divination practice that draws upon Norse traditions and symbolic wisdom to provide guidance and insight. At Holistic Gold, we understand the unique professional risks faced by practitioners who work with runes, whether through traditional casting methods, runic healing, or spiritual counselling. Our specialised Runes Insurance provides comprehensive protection against the specific challenges associated with your profession, including liability for your interpretations and the sacred spaces in which you practice.
Our tailored insurance packages ensure you’re protected whether you work from a dedicated consultation room, travel to clients’ homes, practice at spiritual fairs and events, or offer remote rune readings online. With decades of experience insuring holistic practitioners, we’ve developed coverage that truly understands the nuances of runic practice.
Insurance provided by a Standard & Poor’s A (Strong) rated insurer.
We’ve been working with businesses like yours for over 40 years.
Tailor-made insurance policies, made for specialists, by specialists.
Our comprehensive insurance includes essential coverages tailored for rune practitioners in your field:
This insurance is essential to protect you, your clients and the general public. Public liability insurance covers you in the event that someone suffers an injury or property damage related to your business activities. Our standard policies include £3 million in coverage, with options to increase to £5 million if required by specific venues or events.
If you sell or supply products such as rune sets, bind rune talismans, runic artwork, or instructional materials, this coverage protects you if these items cause injury or damage. This protection covers you against claims arising from any items you supply, whether you craft them yourself or source them from suppliers.
This crucial coverage protects against claims arising from your professional rune reading services. If a client alleges that your interpretation was negligent or that following your runic guidance caused them harm, this insurance covers legal defence costs and any compensation awarded.
This protects against claims for purely economic losses that don’t involve physical injury or property damage. For instance, if a client claims they made poor business decisions based on your rune reading. We automatically include £10,000 of coverage to ensure protection against such claims.
We also offer optional covers including:
Provides financial support if you’re unable to work due to injury, helping replace lost income during recovery periods. This is particularly valuable for self-employed rune readers who rely on their practice for income.
Covers your valuable rune sets, casting cloths, reference books, and ritual items against damage, theft, or loss. This ensures your sacred tools are protected wherever you practice.
If you employ staff, such as reception staff at your practice or assistant readers, this legally required coverage protects against employee injury claims.
Our Runes Insurance is designed for qualified rune practitioners across the UK, including:
If you combine rune reading with other spiritual practices or incorporate it alongside complementary therapies like reiki or crystal healing, we can create a bespoke policy covering all aspects of your professional activities, ensuring comprehensive protection without gaps in your coverage.
Rune reading involves interpreting ancient symbols to provide guidance that can significantly influence clients’ decisions and life paths. While your knowledge of runic wisdom helps clients find clarity and direction, there’s always potential for claims if a client believes your interpretation led to negative outcomes or if they experience distress from a reading.
Without proper insurance, the financial impact of defending against claims could be devastating, with legal fees alone potentially running into thousands of pounds. Runes Insurance provides essential protection, allowing you to practice this ancient art with confidence and peace of mind.

Runes Insurance protects you if a client claims emotional distress resulting from your reading. While most practitioners provide disclaimers about the interpretive nature of rune casting, claims can still arise if clients believe negative outcomes resulted from following your guidance.
