"Runes 'contribute' to each other. So no, they do not cancel out each other; but yes, their forces can be combined - though in Runic tradition, there are specific things that must be kept in mind when doing so. Placing runes at an obtuse angle to each other, for example, promotes positive interaction among them - sort of what you want, if I'm not mistaken." If placed upside down they...."Wait. So, I put the Algiz and the Berkanan Rune beside one another on stones, and then I put the stones upside down on the earth. I was hoping that because they are for growth, it would help the vegetation recover from our disturbances, and by putting them with the rune symbols facing the ground, it would help send the energy into the ground." Because the greatest harm came from the best intentions. "Did I just...Merkstave them?"
