Rune magic is an integral part of a Nordic shamanic way of knowledge that was long forgotten but has come back with great strength towards the end of the 20th century. The runes are now flowing into our own time in a dynamic and creative way. This course is held in the wilderness area of Tiveden.
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.
In this course the participants will work with the runes
in combination with other shamanic methods such as soul journeying, vision
quests and walkabouts, ceremonies at sacred sites and the Nordic variant of the
sweat lodge. The course also deals with the many connections between rune magic
and quantum physics, alchemy and the concepts of archetypes and
synchronicities. The aim is to give the participants a personal understanding
of how the runes can be used as tools in order to think and act in beauty and
contribute to harmony and balance in the world. The runes will help
participants to find their own unique ways to knowledge and power.
Venue: The Hos Martha & Anders conference centre in Perstorp,
