Elder Futhark Rune Readings

The Elder Futhark is the oldest-known existing runic alphabet. There are 24 phonetic symbols in the Elder Futhark. These are called Runes.

The Elder Futhark is Germanic in origin. The runes were designed to be more easily carved in harder materials like stone and metal, which is why they consist of straight lines instead of curving lines.

Each rune represents a phonetic sound, as well as a symbolic meaning. This means the Elder Futhark can be used to spell words, pronounce words, and symbolize both words and natural elements. This creates a nuanced and multi-layered opportunity for interpretation.

The Elder Futhark still exists in its original form as carvings on Rune Stones located around the world. You can read more about them by clicking here.

I primarily read the runes in my studio, which is located in the redwoods just north of the Russian River in Sonoma County, CA. If the weather is nice I can read the runes outside, among the trees or by the river. And, of course, I have a special carrying bag for my rune sets - I've done some of my best readings out and about in the world.

You know that feeling you get when you talk to a trusted friend about something that's really bugging you, and they offer insight or advice that's so spot on, you get goosebumps and have a EUREKA moment? My rune readings deliver that deep, heart-based level of insight and clarity - and you don't even have to leave the house.

A set of rune stones is first and foremost a tool -- in the hands of a skilled reader, runes paint a picture of how the past, present and future are interacting and influencing your life. It doesn't matter if your question is broad or specific, the runes can deliver insightful and helpful feedback.

I truly believe intuitive rune readings can be helpful to everyone, because they help you gain clarity and get in better touch with your intuition, which in turn helps you make important decisions with confidence and peace of mind.

If you have questions about the runes and/or the process of having a reading done, I encourage you to contact me so I can answer them to the best of my ability.

1. When you purchase a Rune Reading, a form will pop up asking you to submit your question or concern for the runes to address. 100% intuitive readings are also available.

2. Or, if you are purchasing the Rune Reading as a gift for someone else, I will be in touch via email to help them frame their question or concern into a reading-friendly inquiry. The runes can speak to any question or concern, but the wording we use is important.

3. Once I know your question or concern, I sit and hold the runes while focusing on your question. My intuition tells me when the time is to throw the runes down so they fall in the pattern that will be interpreted.

4. Once the runes have landed in their spread, I remove all face-down runes, observe the runes that are face-up, review their meanings, and then interpret the overall message they are conveying.

5. I then create for you an illustrated PDF guide that features photos of your reading, the Big Picture explored, my intuitive interpretation, and supportive guidance in the form of a Runic Mantra + ritual suggestions. You will receive your guide within ten business days of submitting your question or concern.

After you purchase a reading, I conduct your reading and create the illustrated PDF guide within ten business days of receiving your reply.

The rune reading itself takes about an hour. This involves settling into a quiet mindset, framing your question with intent, holding the runes, throwing them, and then recording the results.

After the runes are read, I create the PDF guide to your reading, including photographs of your runes, and send it within ten business days.

Absolutely!

No, I cannot. The runes are an amazing divination tool, but they do not provide concrete Yes/No answers, or give specific Dates/Times on which to act. Everything about the runes is subject to intuitive interpretation.

As a reader of the runes, I use my personal intuition and 20+ years of experience to tell as rich and detailed a story as possible, but only you - the question asker - will know the true significance of the message they deliver.

That being said, the runes can deliver specific guidance and advice. For example, if you were to ask the question, "When is a good time to buy a new car?" the runes might not say "Next Tuesday at 8pm," but they could deliver a message that reads something like, "Now is not the right time to splurge on expensive purchases. Wait until you complete the project you're working on, and you'll find yourself in a more fiscally stable position."

Rune readings give the double-sided gift of guidance and caution, which in turn helps us avoid or more gracefully navigate the rocky areas of life, so we might always travel as smooth a road as possible.

In every rune reading I conduct, I show up in my full ability for each and every person, no matter what their question is. I pledge to do my utmost best in this work on your behalf. That being said, in full transparency, I cannot guarantee the runes will provide for you a clear, direct, and/or logical answer. The runes will speak to the matter at hand - they always do - but they don’t always provide the kind of clarity we crave, particularly in scary or emotionally challenging situations.

It is important to me and my ethics to let you know that, if you think you will not be satisfied with a divinatory rune reading unless it can provide a particular level of clarity, it would be best not to seek an Elder Futhark Rune Reading from me at this time.
