Course Overview
Runes are one of the oldest symbolic systems in the world, originating from the ancient Germanic and Norse traditions. Traditionally used both as an alphabet and as sacred symbols of wisdom, runes have long been consulted for guidance, self-reflection, and understanding life’s circumstances. The word Rune is derived from an ancient word meaning “mystery” or “secret,” reflecting their deep connection with hidden knowledge and intuitive insight. Rather than predicting a fixed future, rune casting helps individuals gain clarity about current situations, possible outcomes, personal growth, and the energies influencing different areas of life.
This comprehensive workshop introduces participants to the fascinating world of Rune Casting and Runic Symbolism. Students will learn how to work with the ancient Elder Futhark runes, understand their meanings and energies, cast and interpret rune spreads, and use runes as tools for guidance and self-discovery. The Advanced Level further explores the meanings of all runes, upright and reversed interpretations, rune combinations, predictive readings, healing applications, and the intentional use of runic symbols to attract specific energies and outcomes. Whether you are interested in divination, symbolism, spiritual development, or personal guidance, this workshop provides a structured and practical foundation in the art of rune casting.
