An in-depth look into the Viking Runes and how to read them

£25.00
This production has already happened

Tutor:  Julie Buckingham

"As the runes fall upon the cloth, the Rune Master begins his prediction and prophecy.  He gazes at the spectacle before him, and moves into the realm of the spiritual.  He speaks with knowledge and insight."

You have already begun the journey of learning how to read the Runes and tonight's workshop is a more in-depth look at what the symbols are telling you. 

Runes will often fall upon the cloth in lines, circles and occasionally on top of each other. How do we interpret these? This is the question that will be answered this evening. 

We will also be delving into the influence upon the reading of runes by the Gods, the Monsters of Myth and Legend told through the eyes of the Old Norse folk.  

Running time 150 minutes
