Northern Sorcery & Practical Rune Magick

4 week series

The word rune in itself might give us a hint of what the runes really are. In Old Norse and the Germanic languages, the word rune signifies “secret”, “mystery” or “secret whisperer”. The runes were not used in normal writing at first but were magical symbols or signs to describe different forces and principles in the universe and human existence. The runes and songs Odin received after his initiation in the world tree are magical expressions of the hidden forces of the universe. Thus the runes can have many meanings and it has become my passion and purpose to explore these meanings and the stories they hold.

In this series we will discuss blot, sumbl, components of ceremony, deity  altars and various practices of giving offering. The foundation of the material is based on historic record, interpretation of Eddas, and ways to develop a personal practice.

This series will explore:

Rune Magick - rista (carve), reda (read), fresta (test), bedja (ask), blota (offer), sanda (send), slopa (sacrifice)

Uteseta, sitting out, and meditation practices (including pre-recorded meditations)

Rituals (blot, sumbl, deity altars and death ceremonies)

Óðrørir “that which creates ecstasy” and the use of ceremonial mead to induce visions and divine inspiration

We will come together on Zoom, once a week over the course of 4 weeks to dive into these fascinating subjects. During each week, participants will receive pre-recorded material and a pdf workbook to begin developing their personal practices.
