Free Spirit Gathering 2026 - 40th year

Divination using runes challenges the reader to find their own method for interpreting how each rune fits into a reading. There is no standard way to organize the runes or determine which is read first, which leads to a variety of unique styles and approaches. The variety and freedom of reading runes is a beautiful part of their use as a divinatory tool but can be energetically taxing for the reader or lead to answers feeling incomplete. The 8 Paths Method is a modern framework, developed based on channeled inspiration from Odin. The system involves casting runes onto the 8 Paths Rune Mat and interpreting each cluster of runes created. Join Oak the Nameless to discover how this new technique can enhance your readings and strengthen your relationships with the runes themselves. Participation in Class 1: The Runes as a Story is recommended but not required.
