The runes are an integral part of a Nordic shamanic
way of knowledge that was long forgotten but recreated towards the end of the
20th century. The aim was to pull the essence of the runes, their origins and
meanings from the recesses of history and let them flow into our own time in a
dynamic and creative way.
Jörgen I Eriksson has been working with the runes and
the Nordic shamanic tradition since the early 1980’s and his book Rune Magic
and Shamanism is available in English. The runes possess a great inherent
power. They represent knowledge from Mother Earth and do express the totality
of all knowledge that is dispersed everywhere. The runes are archetypes originating
from the beginning of creation and they are doorways into Dreamtime, the
non-ordinary reality. They can be utilized to bring healing, harmony and
balance to humans, animals, plants, minerals and Mother Earth. The runes are a
sacrament in Nordic shamanism and by combining the runes with other shamanic
methods such as soul journeying, magical singing, vision quests and ceremonies
they can manifest their full potential.
In this course the participants will work with the
runes in several shamanic ways in order to get a personal understanding of their
origins and meanings and how they can be used as tools in order to think and
act in beauty and contribute to harmony and balance in the world. The runes
represent a manual to the shaman’s philosophy and practice and the aim of this
course is to help participants to find their own unique ways to knowledge and
power.
