Do you know how to ask them?
Curious about the Runes (Elder, Younger, Anglo-Saxon)?
The Anglo-Saxon Runes are an ancient system of Divination and communication. The deeper one goes into the mysteries of the Runes, the deeper one goes into the cultural myths and icons of European culture.
The Anglo-Saxon Runes grew out of the Germanic Runes or “Elder Futhark” but are distinct from those and Scandinavian Runes or “Younger Futhark” in the richness of imagery in the A-S Rune Poem. This workshop will introduce you to the Runes and drop enticing hints of deeper meaning to draw you into deeper study.
Join Aurinia for a 3-hour workshop to learn how to use the runes and make a personal set of learning Rune Sticks.
For those who are interested in continuing to learn about Runes, I will continue to teach more advanced topics throughout the year.
You will need a journal (about the size of a composition book or larger. Aurinia recommends the black cover 8.5 x 11 spiral art books). She will supply you with scissors, glue sticks, and art supplies to add notes to your journal (a runic art journal). You may bring your own supplies if you wish.
Bio
Aurinia (aka Lena Lane) has worked with Runes for 30 years. She is a native Portlander; and it was homesickness for Oregon, through a convoluted series of events, that led her to studying the runes. She has worked primarily with the Anglo-Saxon Runes for most of those 30 years. A teacher by profession, she now prefers to teach about esoteric topics like Runes, Ogham and Druidry.
