Runes

Background

The Elder Futhark is a set of 24 Germanic alphabet discovered in Gotland (1903) on the Kylver Stone that dates back to 400 AD. They represent one of the earliest writing scripts. It is postulated that they were inspired by the natural surroundings and life histories of the people during that time. The exact script usage and meaning of each has been lost to time and the Old English Rune Poem has been used as an improvisation for the rune meanings.

The Old English Rune Poem is of Anglo-Saxon origin and dates well after the Elder Futhark. The Rune Poem is dated to the 8th and 9th century, whereas the Elder Futhark dates from 2nd to 8th century. Therefore, the Elder Futhark and the Rune Poem aren’t clearly linked and there is much scholarly debate as to the translation of both the script and the poem. The Rune Poem, especially, had been copied multiple times by hand from historic manuscripts that have been lost in library fires (a very common phenomenon in the past) and subsequently no “original” version exists. Here copying error and translation errors could have crept in during (re)documentation. As such the both the translation and interpretation of the Rune Poem is very subjective. I believe it is best for you to acquire a translation version that resonates with you and to interpret its exact meaning for yourself. You can use the ‘traditional’ interpretations as a rough guide, but you will find that some of your own interpretations start to deviate from the widely used norm. This is a natural progression and personally links you to the runes.

The runes can be used as both a divinatory (passive) and magickal (active) tool. I personally use them for the latter, where I actively participate in setting the intention that I seek. I use the runes extensively for my shadow work, creative problem solving and spiritual rituals. Hence they have become a spiritual tool which I use to explore the depths of soul and to introduce some light and magick into my everyday hum-drum life.

In this spirit; I have been meticulously researching the history, divinatory meanings and spiritual practice of the runes. All this research and experimentation has been distilled into 3 books (so far!). For more information, please see the series of books and associated decks below!

Celestial Rune Sigils – The Metaphysician’s Toolbox

“Very different perspective of the runes loved the different meanings keywords given to the runes used by the author I found them and the book to be quite spiritual it was certainly food for thought re designing my own bindrunes it was well written and enhanced my knowledge helping me look at the runes with fresh eyes I like the fact the elemental symbols were also used I’d also buy a book if the author wrote one on divinitory meanings very enjoyable writing style.”

Amazon UK Review by Bruno, Celestial Rune Sigils Book

“The book gives some brief lore surrounding Elder Futhark, as well as the 24 symbols and the author’s interpretations. The majority of it, however, is the thinking behind the creation of specific bindrunes as magical sigils used for specific purposes.

While initially it seems the book is designed to be a supplement for the sigil deck the author has also created, it gains more depth as you progress. It’s interesting to gain insight into the author’s process in their own practice. I especially liked the creation of poems to go along with each sigil, and this will be something I try to incorporate into my own bindrune practice….”

Goodreads Review by BJ, Celestial Rune Sigils Book

“This was very well organized. I was able to dive in and feel more at ease learning about runes, and bind runes designs, than I could laterally, reading through a variety of different tabs online. Thank you for making this guide.”
