For a quarter (or half, depending on the version) of the year, Persephone lives in the Underworld with her husband Hades. This puts her in an excellent position to provide insights not available in the light of day.
Rune-reading is often touted as an ancient form of divination, but the form we are most familiar with today is more likely actually a more modern invention of use for an ancient writing system known as the futhark. The runes used in ancient Norse divination likely incorporated the futhark, but the runes were likely different, and according to legend were acquired after great sacrifice by the god Odin. Nevertheless, rune divination is a tool, and as such it doesn't really matter how old this method is -- because we can ascribe meaning to them, we can use them to interpret what spirit has to say.
