Runic Book of Days: A Guide to Living the Annual Cycle of Rune Magick

Runic Book of Days: A Guide to Living the Annual Cycle of Rune Magick, S. Kelley Harrell, Destiny Books. Kelley Harrell, founder of the shamanic healing practice known as Soul Intent Arts, has composed a clever step-by-step guidebook toward utilizing the Elder Futhark — one of the oldest runic alphabets — not only as a system of divination and prophecy, but also as a means of following the wheel of the year with active spiritual guidance.

Each of the sacred glyphs of the Futhark is aligned with a time of the year, particularly a half-month period (12 months split between 24 runes), in order to showcase and highlight the wisdom this ancient means of meditation can still engender to this day.

Drawing from old runic sources and modern shamanic practices, as well as over two decades of experience, Harrell aligns the classic agricultural calendars of Old Europe as expressed through the runes with our modern Gregorian variety, showing just how universal the wheel of the year can feel when properly attuned and actively experiences. Each rune (and its half-month) is examined and treated as an initiating force with depth and intuitive analysis. Looking to expand your experience of meditation with the Futhark ever-further, or perhaps needing a way to augment your Coven’s calendar with a more heathen feel? This little gem might be for you.
