SUMMARY:Introduction to Runes with SighPea (6th December 2025)
DESCRIPTION:Introduction to Reading Runes\nLimited to only six people\n \nThis course is designed for people who want to learn and understand about the Runes and how to read them for personal use. It includes background as to their historical and mythological origins\, how they have been used previously and how they can be used today. A workbook will be included to work through throughout the course.\n \nA background to each Rune’s representation will be explained\, exploring how this can be used to interpret its meaning. Several different ways of reading and working with the Runes will also be covered.\n\nRunic Meditation: We start with a meditation to connect with the runes\nHistory of the Runes: Where they came from and an introduction to the people who used them.\nNorse Mythology behind the Runes: Odin and the Gods of the Aesir and Vanir; Yggdrasil and the Norns. Norse beliefs and how and why they relate to the Runes and their meanings.\nThe meanings of the runes: We will explore each rune individually focusing on what it represents and how that representation can be used for interpretation and meaning.\nEveryday uses: Drawing and using individual runes for daily guidance and meditation.\nQuestioning the Runes: Ways to question the runes and how to use their answers.\nBasic Rune spreads: Traditional and modern spreads using from 3 to 9 runes drawn individually and placed.\nCasting Runes: Dropping all the Runes for unique readings based on how they fall; different ways of choosing which runes to interpret.\nIntroduction to Bind Runes: Using concatenated Rune symbols for amulets and talismans and some of their potential uses.\nLooking after your Runes: How to connect with the runes\, protection and how to keep them energised.\nPractical session: Reading with help and guidance as to how to interpret the readings.\n\n \nOne day course we will to learn how to read runes and Norse mythology.\n \nI have been working with runes for over 30 years and started teaching them because quite simply people kept asking me to. I believe that they are part of our heritage\, have been much maligned over the centuries and I am always happy to help anybody who is interested in learning more.\n \nI believe that to understand the runes you need to understand something of the people that used them and the mythology being them\, which is why this course is designed as it is. It is not enough to use a sheet or a book for reference and say ‘This Rune means Money\, This rune means love that rune means strength and so on’. This does not give them any context and makes remembering and interpreting them more difficult.\n \nEach rune is related to something specific. Maybe a god\, a tree\, the moon\, or something elemental such as fire or ice. By understanding not only what the meaning is\, but what these things meant in the past\, and the mythology associated it gives context to the meanings and reinforces them.\n \nEach course begins with a runic meditation\, and the morning is spent learning about the history of the runes and Norse mythology including how they believe the universe was formed\, Ragnarok and various tales and sagas. These are associated to specific runes as we learn to begin reinforcing the roots of their meaning.\n \nThe afternoon continues with more stories and the learning of any runes not already covered. We then have a practical session to learn different ways of using the runes for guidance and readings. This is followed by other ways to use and recognise runes in everyday life\, caring for your runes\n \nAbout Simon (SighPea):I have been into the runes since I was 9 when I was studying the Vikings at school and reading the Hobbit at home and they seemed to be popping up everywhere. They just spoke to me\, I couldn’t explain it at the time. At that point I was mainly just using the runes as an alphabet – it wasn’t until my late teens that I started really working with\, reading and making runes. Nearly 30 years on and they are still with me stronger than ever. I started teaching a few years ago\, mainly because I kept getting asked to by people wanting to learn. It suits me as I do have a passion for them and want people to understand what they are as I feel they are part of our heritage that got lost and misunderstood along the way.\n \nLots of people seem to have rune sets at the moment either because they were gifts or they thought they’d give them a go as they are ‘something different’. But what tends to happen is they try it a couple of times\, find they are just a just a hard to remember set of funny symbols with unrelated meanings and forget about them.\n \nTo me it is impossible to learn the runes without understanding the symbols behind each rune\, about their history and background and the mythology associated with them. Once people learn in this way it makes a lot more sense and they are easier to remember. \n \nThe symbols themselves don’t just mean love\, strength\, money etc. They relate to animals\, trees\, elementals\, gods etc and the meanings come from them. Similar to the constellations there are also ways to remember them by how they look.\n \nSo for example the rune Urahz relates to a bull (Auroch). By picturing this and thinking of the wild untamed auroch and its strength and power\, and then remembering that the bull was also a working animal in Viking times\, pulling ploughs\, driving mill stones etc you get an image of that strength and power and also how it can also be harnessed. I find this imagery helps people understand them better than just saying “this symbol means strength”.\n \nSimilarly if a rune relates to a particular god it helps to understand the personality\, characteristics and stories associated to that god. For that reason the courses intertwine the mythology and stories of the gods along with the runes and their meanings.\n \nCourses are limited to 6 people maximum so as to keep them more intimate and allow more individual attention. Feel free to contact me here if you are interested in either arranging a course at a centre or booking a place on a course.\n \nTo book and for payment information please contact Lynn.gosney@hotmail.com\n \nPayment in full : £35\n \nYou will need to bring your own drinking water and packed lunch.

We enter with respect\, honour\, and trust. We attune to the seasonal energies throughout the day. We devote the whole day to the Sweatlodge experience. From the covering of the frame and selecting the sacred rocks; then preparing and lighting of the fire. The rocks are heated in the fire so that their ancient wisdom and healing can be released. We create old crafts that attune us to the festival we are celebrating.We will guide you gently through this beautiful ceremony. Having facilitated many lodges over the years\, we will lead you through this most healing and beautiful ceremony with love and integrity .\n \nSacred Womb of Rebirth\nInto lodge we humble seekOur mothers love we feel so deepHer bones they hold usHer darkness healsWe hear her song the void she fillsWisdom rocks bring fourth releaseAs tears and fears are soon releasedBirthed and balanced healed and wholeFrom the earth her children flow.Lynn Gosney © 2010
