Wild Soul Runes Live Gnosis Rune Practice

Every year I encounter people longing to connect with the runes. Some have childhood encounters with them, some see them in nature, others have them appearing in dreams, or have worked with them in the past but only peripherally, many are drawn to the runes with a deep feeling of knowing/remembering, regardless of their lineage or background. All wish to know how to begin.

This class is meant to be an answer to that longing, an exploration of shared paths and the development or deepening of a personal rune practice rooted in animist consciousness, lore and history, archaeology and the feminine powers of Northern European cosmology.

At the root of this course is the belief that the runes are not just an alphabet, not only symbols of divinatory significance, but living beings, pieces of the web of wyrd connecting all existence. The intention is to develop respectful, reciprocal relationships with these ancient forms on a journey of ancestral magic.

If you are looking to deeply connect with the runes, hone your gnosis and connect with others on the path, this is the class for you.

For thirty-three weeks we will travel in devotional meditation with each rune in gnosis community. This class includes:

• Weekly live meetings in ritual circle to discuss our gnosis work. In the spirit of true community, these meetings will be facilitated by a variety of volunteer hosts.
• An online community for participants in the circles to connect as we practice together--this practice is nonlinear, inclusive of those who can attend live, and those who are asynchronous.
• All gnosis gatherings will be recorded and available.
• Meditations and rituals for connecting with the runes, the wyrd, the ancestors and the Nornir.
• Optional regional study groups for folks who can't attend live.
• Weekend gatherings to celebrate and connect as we conclude each third of the practice.
