Wild Soul Runes: Reawakening the Ancestral Feminine
Using inquiry and original translations alongside traditional rune poems and sacred art, Wild Soul Runes invites listeners to develop their own wisdom connection with the runes through practice. The book is based on the premise that all of us possess the ability to receive divine information through rune practice. Rather than telling the listener what the runes mean, author Lara Veleda Vesta shares an interactive practice for listeners to discover the unique ways the runes speak to them.
The book covers the history of the runes, both in myth and through the connection with Old European archaeological findings. This history offers evidence for the idea that the runes have a feminine origin, coming from the well of the Norns, the female triple giantesses who represent the fates in Norse myth.
The purpose of Wild Soul Runes is to create a relationship with these beings through ancestral connection, personal gnosis, and ritual practice. Listeners will learn how to:
- Make a rune altar
- Develop a daily ritual practice with the runes
- Honor the Germanic/Anglo Saxon wheel of the year
- Craft a rune set and rune ceremonies for divination
