Ashwani teaches the Magic of Runes, also known as Elder Futhark, in several different ways for the times. She will give examples using it as a stand-alone divination tool, adding runes to your tarot or oracle readings that can enhance messages, and making an ancient technique new again. Runes are an archaic Germanic alphabet of 24 characters known as a traditional set, or 25 if it includes a blank one. They became popular in Northern parts of Europe around 1st and 2nd CE to mark graves, monuments and used in magical practices. Some scholars will argue Runes were created in the Mediterranean adopted from the Italic alphabet. Like most metaphysical agents, Runes have morphed in many different iterations throughout Scandinavia, England, Viking Era with Norse Mythology, and Medieval times. Interestingly enough, they are most associated with Nordic tradition through the Norse God, Odin.
This class will cover using Runes as a modern-day divination tool for your mystical readings for yourself or for others as guidance, a reflection, or insight. Similar to tarot, each Rune has a meaning and symbolism. Traditional Runes were made of wood, metal, or stone and you can find pre-made sets in the store or create an art project by making your own out of these materials. Ashwani will share her original wooden Runes and a gemstone set. She will guide you through fun scenarios of reading Runes individually for yourself and with a class partner via casting or drawn from their pouch. If you own a set, please bring them to class. 2-hour class $35
