Gavin Bone is facilitating this very comprehensive and deeply creative Introduction Course on the Runes.
I’m going myself and have been waiting for an opportunity to do one of Gavin's courses.
If any of my students, clients, colleagues, peers or friends would like to attend as well (it’s online), please see all details in the shared post below and contact Gavin directly for further details or information!
This online 8 Week Course starts in January 2024. Gavin can be contacted via email:
This is an eight week course designed to give you the basics in understanding the Elder Futhark Runes. There will be a lesson each week lasting approximately 2 hours on Zoom every Thursday from 7pm to 9pm GMT. At the end of this course you will know all you need to know to teach yourself and learn the Runes.
This includes the ancient and modern history of the Runes, understanding the Runes; what they are (and aren't). Methods of learning the Runes; how to research bonafide sources including academics, ancient remains and the Rune Poems. Writing with the Runes.
Divination methods including Casting and Runic Layouts. Understanding Wyrd and Orlog; the Northern European philosophies related to time and fate. Runic Magic basics, including Rune Scripts and Bind Runes. A look at the "other" Runes; the Anglo-Saxon, and Younger Futharks.
Three Runes will be discussed in each lesson so that all 24 Runes are covered by the end of the course.
