Witch's Runes

The Witch's Runes are a set of 13 pictographic runes. They are cast similarly in fashion to Futhark runes and interpreted using one's intuition.

To use Witch's Runes for divination, form a question in your mind and push that thoughtform into your runes. When this is complete, cast them all at once, like dice. Only the face up runes are relevant to the reading, disregard any that fall face down. The most significant rune in the reading is the one furthest from you. If all the runes are face down, you aren't yet meant to know the answer (if this happens don't attempt another reading for at least a week). You can also seek general guidance by drawing a single rune.

I finally made myself a rune set with halved acorn shells!

I'd forgotten how nice runes were to work with but as soon as I tossed my first reading it all came flooding back. As I held each rune I could feel their meanings flow back to me and their energies organise themselves in my brain again.

One of the things I love about this particular set is, because of the nature of the acorn shells, runes can slot together and sit inside one another which can add a whole new layer to the reading!!

I'd love to hear any practiced rune readers advice!!

Rune Art, unsure about artist, was sent to me by a pagan friend a while ago.

What is your Current Career Energy?! ✨ Career Rune Reading

consider tipping me on ko-fi if this reading resonated :)

this reading was done via the elder futhark runes, images included

pile 1

runes drawn: ansuz, dagaz, isa

right now i am getting energy of communication in terms of your career life, you have hope for your career and you are reaching out and getting out there to pursue your career, I'm also getting the vibe you recently finished studying this path or are currently in a highly transitional phase in your career life and beginning to look for work but unfortunately even though you are putting yourself out there and trying to get a job in the career path you want you are not recieving the same enthusiasm,and you are possibly facing challenges finding a job and manifesting your dream career to reality. I see alot of stagnating energy in this reading with isa and i feel as though you are in a period of waiting, of stasis. In a way your career is on hold even though you want to get out there and get noticed. Maybe now is the time to be patient and wait until opportunity strikes, currently it seems your career energy is on hold and will be moving a little slowly.

pile 2

runes drawn: raido, ehwaz, dagaz

right now i see aloot of progression alot of movement in your career life, the energy is action action action. You are making important decisions regarding your career, you are overcoming obstacles, new beginnings and opportunities are just around the corner! You are crossing boundaries in terms of your career and you are in a position where you have a harmonious balance and deep understanding of yourself and what you want in your career life, your roads are open in terms of opportunities, and i see a good omen in this reading that wherever you go in your career, you will be able to pass through any difficulties and challenges easily. Currently you are in a highly transitional period, you will reach a satisfactory and enjoyable career life, whatever you're doing you are definently doing something right so keep it up!

pile 3

runes drawn: uruz, hagalaz, wunjo

you have alot of potential regarding your career, i have the feeling that you are just charging right into it in a way, in terms of your career energy i sense alot of freedom and almost a wild energy to you in how you just go for the things you want, but you are currently facing obstacles regarding your career life. You may be facing challenges constricting that free spirit of yours and blockages regarding your career, but not to worry. Whether its a situation youre facing thats difficult or if you are being blocked career wise and you feel that things are going badly, the obstacles you are currently facing will sort themselves out things will turn out smoothly. Your current challenges are temporary and this stage of hardship will not last forever, you will be rewarded with your hard work soon and you will find joy in your career life and harmony. All of your current troubles will soon be left in the past and everything regarding your career will go smoothly, don't be blinded by bad situations when the light is at the end of the tunnel! And this tunnel is not as long as you may be thinking. Keep going and keep being a free courageous spirit regarding your career and professional life and everything will be fine!

Unlocking the Mysteries: Divination for Beginner Witches🔮✨🖤

(GIF not mine!!)

Divination is the practice of seeking knowledge of the future or the unknown through various methods. It’s a way of connecting with your inner wisdom, the universe, or spiritual forces to gain insight and guidance. While some see it as predicting the future, many view it as a tool for introspection and understanding the present.

Why Do We Practice Divination?

Gain Clarity: Divination helps clarify confusing or difficult situations, providing insights that may not be immediately obvious.

Make Decisions: It can assist in making informed decisions by highlighting potential outcomes and factors to consider.

Connect Spiritually: It fosters a deeper connection with your intuition, spiritual guides, or higher self.

Self-Discovery: Divination often reveals inner thoughts and feelings, aiding in personal growth and self-awareness.

Prepare for the Future: While it doesn’t predict the future in absolute terms, divination can highlight trends and energies that might influence future events.

Popular Methods of Divination

Tarot Cards

What It Is: A deck of 78 cards, each with symbolic imagery and meanings, used to gain insights into various aspects of life.

How to Use: Shuffle the deck while focusing on your question, then draw cards and interpret their meanings based on their positions and your intuition.

Oracle Cards

What It Is: Similar to tarot, but typically with fewer cards and more flexible themes, often focusing on specific guidance or affirmations.

How to Use: Shuffle and draw cards as with tarot, focusing on the guidance you seek. The meanings are usually simpler and more direct.

Pendulum Dowsing

What It Is: A weighted object, often a crystal, suspended from a chain or string, used to answer yes/no questions based on its movements.

How to Use: Hold the pendulum steady and ask a question. Observe the direction it swings (e.g., clockwise for yes, counterclockwise for no).

Runes

What It Is: Small stones or pieces of wood inscribed with ancient symbols, each representing different energies or concepts.

How to Use: Draw runes from a bag while focusing on your question, then interpret their meanings and how they relate to your query.

Scrying

What It Is: Gazing into a reflective surface like a crystal ball, mirror, or bowl of water to receive visions or impressions.

How to Use: Sit quietly and gaze into the surface, letting your mind relax and observe any images, shapes, or messages that appear.

Tea Leaf Reading (Tasseography)

What It Is: Interpreting the patterns left by tea leaves in a cup to gain insights.

How to Use: Drink a cup of loose-leaf tea, leaving a small amount of liquid and leaves. Swirl the cup, then look at the patterns formed by the leaves and interpret their meanings.

How to Carry Out Divination Safely

1. Create a sacred space

Prepare Your Area: Ensure your divination space is quiet, clean, and free from distractions. Light a candle or some incense to set a calming atmosphere.

Protective Circle: Consider casting a protective circle or saying a protective prayer to safeguard your energy.

2. Set a Clear Intention

Focus Your Mind: Be clear about what you want to know or explore. State your intention or question aloud or silently before you begin.

3. Ground and Center Yourself

Stay Balanced: Take a few deep breaths, visualize roots growing from your feet into the earth, and feel grounded and centered.

4. Respect the Process

Be Open and Respectful: Approach divination with an open mind and respect for the process. Avoid trying to force specific answers.

5. Interpreting Responsibly

Use Intuition and Logic: Interpret messages using both your intuition and logical thinking. Remember that divination often highlights potentialities, not certainties.

Avoid Scary Predictions: Refrain from making alarming or ominous predictions. Divination should empower and guide, not frighten.

6. Conclude and Close the Session

Thank and Release: Once finished, thank any spiritual guides or energies you’ve called upon. Gently say, “Thank you for your guidance. This session is now closed.”

Put Away Tools: Store your divination tools in a safe and respectful place, and cleanse them occasionally to remove residual energy.

7. Ground Again

Rebalance Your Energy: After the session, ground yourself again by eating a small snack or holding a grounding stone like hematite.

8. Journal Your Insights

Record Your Experience: Write down your question, the divination method used, and the insights gained. This helps track patterns and deepen your understanding over time.

Final Thoughts

Divination is a wonderful practice that can enrich your witchcraft journey and provide valuable insights into your life and the world around you. As you explore different methods, you’ll discover what resonates with you the most and develop your unique approach to seeking wisdom and guidance.

Happy divining! 🌙✨🔮

Bill doodles until "The Book of Bill" releases ‼️

5. This is a special occasion! Do you remember the runes that have tortured our minds this week?

"OH YEAH! I REMEMBER ENJOYING HOW THEIR MINDS WERE TWISTING! IT SEEMS THAT SOME SIMPLE HUMANS COULD NOT HANDLE RU-"

They solved it

"........really?"

Yeah....

*awkward silence for 5 seconds*

"DAMM-"

If you didn't hear the news, @trickengf And JimBag_777 (Twitter) managed to solve this literal "puzzle" (in my language the joke is better understood..."Rompe-cabezas"), opening the door to a whole new alphabet! I like to call it "Awakened Alphabet" Or something like that, idk, I like to epically name discoveries but everyone names it however they want ^^/

Additionally, to the first one, I thanked him for bringing the information about the book to this area (Latam, Spanish-speaker people) and apart from fueling the hype, I have also seen which is the best option to buy it! I really take my hat off.

I hope you like that drawing! Apart from being a reference, it is a reminder of the milestone they have achieved, after all...

"YOU HAVE SEEN... THE RUNES"

"Ok, enough talkie talkie! BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH‼️I DON'T CAAAREE‼️ DO YOU REMEMBER THAT I HOLD YOU HOSTAGE?"

....

WHATEVAH, 5 DAYS..... :)

Love for life in all its forms is the basic ethic of witchcraft.

Queering the Runes: Reclaiming Ancestral Wisdom in Rune Magic and Mythology by Siri Vincent Plouff is a new edition to my library. I think this is a great, different perspective on the runes. I can't wait to put this to use. I pick runes twice a year amongst other oracles on the equinoxes. Thank you to Weiser Books for sending it my way.

"Queering the Runes is a contemporary, inclusive, and forward-thinking approach to the runes that focuses on finding queer experience, life, and joy in the Elder Futhark. Siri comes to the runes as a queer, nonbinary reader, and presents a path for reclaiming the ancestral wisdom and mystery of the runes in a way that can provide insight and understanding of their sacred nature for masculine, feminine, and nongendered aspects of self. Written as a love letter to the runes, the gods, and the people who follow the Nordic path, Queering the Runes presents an alternative approach to the runes—one that creates a gentle container for those who want to follow this heathen path."

The 9 Lokean Virtues

I mean, every religion has some form of virtues, morals, ethics, or even rules to standby, respect and follow right? We so does paganism, and when you look at them all, they’re all in a way similar to each other. Today We’ll be diving into the 9 Lokean Virtues, and how you can implement them into your daily life cause boy I could be doing better to. Please get comfy, grab your favorite drink and snack and grab your pet and lets get into it.

Located in Pagan Portals-Loki, he lists the 9 virtues towards the back of the book. So here they are as listed in order from the book

Truth: Be real. Be true to yourself and allow others to follow their own truth.

Humor: Learn to find the humor in things, especially in yourself.

Humility: If you need to tie your balls to a goat to accomplish your goals, suck it up buttercup.

Cunning: Try to think outside the box. Don’t make a mess so big that you can’t find your way out of it.

Transformation: Don’t be afraid of change, because that’s how we grow. Don’t be afraid of self-examination and listen to constructive criticism.

Creativity: Creat awesome stuff. Try new things out. If you don’t like it blow it up and try again.

Accountability: You are the only one in control of your destiny, your own life, your own actions

Empathy: Try to see things from more than one perspective. Shape-shift into someone else’s shoes before you pass judgement.

Experimentation: A mistake is only a mistake if you do it twice. Until then, everything is an experiment.

REFERENCE: The 9 Lokean Virtues: Pagan Portals-Loki: Trickster and Transformer by Dagulf Loptson pg. 48 (eBook page)

Implementation

So now that we know about these virtues, how can we implement them into our lives?

Truth: We can start be learning that we can’t control everything. Ever heard of the phrase you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink? This means that you can lead, guide your friend, significant other, parent, sibling, co worker etc to the truth, but they need to open up to the truth and learn to except it on their own time and terms. We also need to learn how to accept the truth within ourselves; will it hurt? Probably, but you will hurt even more if you allow yourself to be trapped within ignorance’s bliss and the lies you refuse to accept. You can start to accept the truth, whatever it may be to you is by perhaps journaling the thoughts down or doing one of those shadow work journals you see blowing up on tiktok or meditate or you can even seek out mental health resources to get another perspective if you can afford it or have the resources readily available.

Humor: Laughter is the best medicine! Ever since I went through the worst few weeks of my life, I’ve grown attached to Cold Ones, with Anything4views and Maxmoefoe. The editing and the humor has kept me sane through the tears and anxiety episodes as their goofiness and the money they spend on Fiverr is absolute gold. Some people may not like Cold Ones and thats okay. Other things that can help make you laugh are memes and or recalling a funny story/memory or just going out with your friends, family, s/o or pet and make funny and good memories.

Humility: This is a tough one even for me as I like to take the easy way out from the difficult challenges. I currently work at a job with the most incompetent people as bosses; I wish I was joking. But I’m only there until May of next year and I can kiss that. Place good bye. For good. I’ve looked for other jobs, but alas I need something that ties into my major and unfortunately the shitshow I’m currently employed at fights right into that space. Sometimes we do need to tie our balls to that goat; it may suck, but hey, the goal is to be able to negotiate a higher rate of pay to save up for a house. This musst be done no matter how much I hate it. But don’t do this. Until it destroys your mental health, so be sure to take care of yourself.

Cunning: I have to do this w/ my clients and work. Sometimes clients can be difficult to work with especially if they’re minors. If I need them to do their chores, I if they don’t want to do it, I ask them to double check and see if their chore is truly complete. They go on ahead and do it and usually they’ll find something to tackle. To be cunning is to utilize critical thinking and problem solving skills in unique ways! Perhaps take an alternate route, instead of replacing that broken vase, find a way to repair it and incorporate art.

Transformation: The tower moment if you will, this one hurt me the most a few times, especially when it came down to my mental health. This one was a big vibe check, but I managed to get through it and ended up loving the changes that occurred. For this, I suggest having a really strong support system, and having healthy coping skills as some of the transformation periods can be painful, and trust me, they will hurt. Or not, it all depends on the person and their situation. For me and my anxiety, if I don’t know what the process is, i freak out and get really scared and anxious. So I try to research the topic depending on what it is like a medical procedure or getting my bloodwork done. That way if I know what to expect, I have no reason to worry about it. However this doesn’t always work for other people. You can learn to embrace the transformation by utilizing positive coping skills, getting enough rest, self care, and brain dumping into a jorunal. Or sketch book, or even watching something inspirational or someone going through the same thing and how they made it through their situation.

Creativity: Already in the name and kinda like cunning, utilize creativity. Nurture it, make it your own; it doesn’t have to be aesthetically pleasing or expensive. As long as you like whatever it is you’re doing. Without hurting people or animals or yourself of course. Whatever you’re into, please make it your own. With our hurting animals, people or yourself.

Accountability: This one also hurts but it’s mandatory in my opinion to learn to handle criticism and learn to own up to your mistakes. If you cut someone in line and you’re at fault, accept it. Don’t try to cover it up or run from it, i’ve seen people explain their crap away without thinking about accepting their role in things. The more you run from your mistakes, it will send you down a path of cowardice. You can learn this skill by perhaps rehearsing in a mirror or role playing, help yourself ease into it!

Empathy: This one can be draining, as some people thrive on this sort of attention. When practicing empathy, you really want to be protective of. Your boundaries and energy as there are people, as mentioned, live on this. Remember, it’s free to be kind to others, it’s expensive to be mean to others. Just remember to set boundaries!

Experimentation: Don’t be afraid to fail and try again. Keep trying, even if you need youtube tutorials, tutoring, or just an extra brain and set of hands. Don’t be afraid to keep trying until you get it right and it meets your standards. Until then don’t give up and don’t let anyone tear you down and stop you from success. Don’t be afraid to block people or cut people off if they say otherwise. It’s okay to experiment with things, sexuality, hobbies or whatever you want to try!

Epilogue

Writing this in a lecture was not in this evening’s plans but here I am. The ADHD is ADHDing tonight! Anyways, I hope you guys got some sort of positive vibes or ideas on how to implement the virtues. Or at the very least the strength to do or say something, no matter how anxious or scared you are. I’ll see y’all this Wednesday! Have a good day/afternoon/evening!
