Goddess Casts the Runes: Divination & Wisdom of the Earth Mother

The purpose of this book is to provide an ecofeminist, Earth-based perspective on the runes that takes into account salient principles of feminism, environmentalism, and the sacredness of the Earth as well as the archaeological, mythological, spiritual, and etymological origins and significance of the runes. It reclaims the runes for the Mother Goddess, whose grace and power these ancient symbols were originally created to honor. We will learn how these symbols were developed by our ancestors over a span of tens of thousands of years, and how they reflect the totality of human experience—life’s blessings, challenges, and relationships—making them a repository of the wisdom our ancestors gained from uncounted generations of living on this Earth. We will also learn how this wisdom applies to our current world as we cast the runes to answer today’s life questions.
