I wasn’t looking for the runes. I found them the way you find something you’d forgotten you already knew.

Years before I ever calculated a birth rune, I sat in a shamanic circle and received a power song — a name I sang without knowing what it meant. I kept it, it felt good, but I could find no meaning behind it.

Then I read the old tale of Helgi — the Nornir stretching golden threads across the hall of the moon the night he was born. It became a knot in the web I kept worrying at. This is the weaving of the birth runes, I thought. This is a tiny fragment of something much larger, waiting beneath the surface of remembering.

Later, I calculated my own birth runes for the first time. My four Hero Maker runes, plus Isa — the rune of the self. They spelt out the name. The one I had been singing for years.

I don’t tell you this to convince you of anything mystical. I tell you because it’s the reason I work with this precision — birth runes aren’t a symbol you pick because it resonates. They’re already there, whether you’ve met them yet or not.

Here’s where you can begin — a single rune, drawn fresh today. A closer bond with your own Sun rune. The full pattern of all 14. A place to return to, again and again, as your path unfolds. And, for those called to go further still, a way to walk this work as a practitioner yourself.

Sunna's Chariot

There are patterns in your life that do not come and go. They repeat. Not as mistakes — but as signatures.

The way you respond under pressure. The roles you find yourself stepping into. The tensions that return, even when the context changes.

You may have understood these as personality, instinct, or experience. On the Northern European spirit road, we’d recognise something else at work: your hamingja — personal luck. Your wyrd — the flow of fate. Your ørlög — the law of your destiny, already laid down. The birth runes help you navigate currents your ancestors once worked with instinctively.

Birth runes are not a single identity or label. They form a pattern — one that unfolds across a lifetime. Some parts will be immediately recognisable. Others may feel distant, or only visible in certain situations. It’s not unusual to recognise only part of the pattern at first.

Not to become something else — but to meet what’s already there, and bring it into the world consciously, directed, lived.

This is where the personal work begins.

Your 14 birth runes

Your 14 birth runes

Each of your 14 birth runes offers a different form of healing magic. They are determined by the position of the planets, Sun, Earth and Moon at the time you were born.

Birth runes do not dictate fate.  They are opportunists seizing the moment and tipping the balance towards the design set in the stars at the moment of your birth.  Knowing your birth runes will help you lean into those moments of opportunity for growth and self realisation.  They will help you navigate your course through life through knowledge of your greatest power, hidden motivations and places of vulnerability.

With your birth runes

A birth runes practitioner

Your Sun rune makes up one of, what I refer to as, your Hero Makers. The Hero Makers are your First Thread, Sun rune, Lunar rune and Nornir’s gift plus your North and South node. They were set by the Nornir who oversee the fates of all the worlds. They draw out your mightiest purpose: the longed-for destiny of your soul’s essence. I recommend working with them next. 

Once your Hero Makers are set your personal Disir take up the threads. These are your ancestral circle of guardian spirits whose role it is to protect and nurture you. Often viewed as manifestations of the divine feminine their gatherings stretch far beyond your direct ancestors to include those who walked your land before you, share your purpose, interests or calling. They can also be spirit beings, animals, goddesses and any being who resonates with the energy of unconditional, abiding love towards you.  They watch the skies and draw down the energy of the constellations and planets into your soul tapestry. I call the runes they weave into your fate the Soul Singers.

Each of your Birth Runes is set within the energies of a deity’s Hall and a Hearth of the Asyniur (handmaiden’s of Frigga). These add subtle nuances to your birth runes reading which are covered in all my birth runes reports and can be explored with me through 1-2-1 sessions. 

Every rune placement is so well explained, and each one is a potential portal into deeper study - I expect I could spend years exploring them, which is really exciting! I've known and followed Maggie's rune work for many years now and the birth rune charts really are her at her best. The runes were calculated and explained with precision and care, and her vast knowledge and years of research are obvious in the write up. My oracle revealed an overall pattern, all the threads of the tapestry skilfully and intuitively woven together in a beautiful piece of careful, healing storytelling. Just wonderful!

The energies of your birth runes were fixed in place by a Disir circle formed for you and your birth mother.  They will continue to protect and advise you throughout your life should you choose to work with them.  The Nornir are more focused on collective destiny – they see how your purpose will fit best into the bigger picture.  

Runemal means ‘rune speech’ and, if you listen, they will speak.    Amidst all the noise their song calls you home to yourself and their power strengthens you to make your biggest contribution in this lifetime.
