24 Little Pieces of Wyrd
Make your runes. Ask a question. Follow the thread.
Come meet the runes.
Come discover the images held within their shapes.
Come see what happens when they begin speaking to one another.
24 Little Pieces of Wyrd begins beneath the branches of Yggdrasil, with the Norns and the weaving of what has been, what is becoming, and what may yet unfold.
From there, we bring the practice into your own hands. You’ll create a set of runes, get to know the twenty-four symbols of the Elder Futhark, and begin exploring the questions you carry.
This beautifully illustrated guide offers a practical, imaginative way to begin reading runes, with room for your own observations, associations, and discoveries.
Inside you’ll find:
-
The Beginning—the Norns, the great tree, and the weaving of Wyrd.
-
Crafting—simple ways to make your own rune set with materials you have at hand.
-
The 24 Runes—accessible meanings, keywords, and imagery for each rune of the Elder Futhark.
-
Reading—how to shape a useful question, draw a rune, and connect what you notice to what you have asked.
-
Your Stories—ways to read two and three runes together, discovering how their images interact and a story begins to form.
-
Practice and reflection—playful exercises, guidance for unclear readings, and suggestions for keeping a rune journal.
-
A Quick Reference Guide—the runes and their keywords, ready whenever you need a reminder.
You may work through the book from the beginning, making your runes and trying your first reading as you go…
Or return to it with a question, look up a rune, and explore a combination you haven’t encountered before.
What happens when a torch meets ice? When a hailstorm is followed by new growth? When a gift appears beside a journey?
As you practice, the runes begin gathering memories and associations from your own life. Their meanings become more familiar, and the relationships between them become easier to recognize.
You don’t need to know everything before you begin. A sheet of paper, something to write with, and a little curiosity are enough to take the first step.
Step into the Metaphysical Haberdashery.
Gather your twenty-four little pieces of Wyrd.
And see what happens when you pull the thread.
