An ancient path calls me body and soul. Whisper of my land, song of my ancestors. Etched in stone, carved in root and branch, preserved in ice and evolving in fire. It is held in the runes, calling me home, drawing me on, whispering of a power I will soon know in my bones.

Awaken to the Runes
An on-line programme connecting you intellectually, intuitively, physically and energetically to the power and wisdom of the runes.
The 2024-25 programme is now open! Join now to start your journey with self-study content and access to 4 masterclasses followed by your LIVE 1-year programme commencing June 2024.
For those who feel the calling of the lands, myths and magics of nothern Europe (whether through ancestry, heritage or interest) in-depth teachings about the chakras, reiki or the Zodiac are frustratingly easier to find than than teachings abotu the runes, seidr, galdr and the mysteries of Yggdrasil. Awaken was created in response to this absence of support for those called to the spiritual pathways of the north. It is an immersive year of group circles and multi-media modules bringing you the runes as they would have been taught: orally, person-to-person and through multiple means of connection. The programme supports you not just in deeply knowing your runes but in actively working with them on a daily basis.
Runes are ancient keys to inner and outer transformation. The foundation stones of the spiritual heritage of northern Europe and well springs of wisdom and magic. So many of us crave authentic and powerful spiritual connection to our Earth, our ancestors and ourselves. To this day the runes remain embedded in the Germanic languages (inc. English, German, Dutch, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Icelandic). It is in our gift to reclaim them for a modern age where spiritual wisdom and soulful purpose have never been more relevant to our ability to survive and thrive.

The Elder Futhark is the most ancient of the rune alphabets. It is the magical origins of speech and communication in northern Europe – the key to northern consciousness. The runes can be used for seership, magic, healing and mysticism.
