Free Spirit Gathering 2026 - 40th year

Rune readers of all experience levels once began by memorizing translated meanings and applying those meanings to answer questions. Each rune represents a specific concept during divination but as complex as those concepts can be in isolation, reading runes can sometimes feel like answering a question without using any verbs. Weaving those concepts into living energies is what brings momentum and clarity to readings. Storytelling is an ancient tradition that has supported learning, sharing, and deepening our understanding of the world since the earliest days of humanity. This class explores the runes of the Northumbrian futhark through the lens of a storyteller and breaths new life into runic divination. Learn a modern approach to working with runic energies and gain a deeper understanding of the way that these energies shape our lives.
