A rune course is a structured educational program that focuses on the study and practice of runes, an ancient writing system used by the Norse and Germanic peoples. This course is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of runes, their history, meanings, and practical applications. The rune course typically starts by introducing the origins and development of runes, including their mythological and cultural significance. Students learn about the different runic alphabets, such as the Elder Futhark, Younger Futhark, and Anglo-Saxon Futhorc, and how they evolved over time. Participants in a rune course also study the individual meanings and symbolism of each rune. They delve into the interpretations associated with each rune, exploring their divinatory and magical properties.

The Rune Divination Diploma Course provides all the information you need to understand the history and meanings of runes and how to use them to perform readings for yourself and others.

The course opens with a history of runes – examining evidence of their origin and where this can be found, along with how their use developed over time. You’ll explore the various runic alphabets and the ways in which they vary, as well as the sounds the runes represented and their basic meanings. The following alphabets are covered in the course: The Elder Futhark, Anglo-Saxon Runes, Marcommanic Runes, The Younger Futhark, Medieval Runes, and Dalecarlian Runes.

To complement the exploration of runic alphabets, the Rune Divination Diploma Course walks you through runic literature. There is a particular focus given to the Hávamálm, which describes how Odin found the runes, and the Rune Poems, which are the main source for the meanings associated with them.

As a means of furthering your understanding of runes, you’ll explore Norse mythology and its connection with runes and the association between myths and characters and the meaning of individual runes. The meanings of the main symbols associated with each rune are also covered, as is how to interpret meaning when using runes in divination.

While sets of runes can be purchased, many rune readers prefer to make their own. The Rune Divination Diploma Course will guide you through the various ways of doing so and how to consecrate and store your runes. You’ll learn the associations each rune has with colours, trees, stones, and herbs, in case you wish to incorporate any of this information in the design of your rune bag or box.

Armed with your own runes and the knowledge of their meanings, the course teaches you how to use them in divination, outlining two techniques – rune casting (or “drawing lots”) and rune spreads. You’ll be guided through what you need to read runes, the necessary preparations to make, and the techniques used to read runes.

Runes are used in a school of magic called the “Northern Path”, which fits under the broad umbrella of modern paganism. You’ll learn the history of rune magic, why you may wish to make a runic amulet or talisman and the elements to incorporate in their design depending on their purpose.

Reviews for "Rune Journeying: Exploring Other Realms with Runes as Your Guide"

1. Amanda - 2 stars - I was really excited to take the Rune course, but I was extremely disappointed. The instructor had a monotone voice that made it difficult to stay engaged. The course material was also very basic and lacked depth. I was expecting to learn more advanced techniques and applications, but it was all very surface-level. Overall, I didn't feel like I got my money's worth and I would not recommend it to others.

2. John - 1 star - The Rune course was a complete waste of time. The instructor seemed unprepared and disinterested in teaching. The course content was poorly organized and lacked clear explanations. It felt like a jumble of random information thrown together without any structure. I was left confused and frustrated throughout the entire course. Save your money and find a better resource to learn about Runes.

3. Samantha - 3 stars - I had high hopes for the Rune course, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. While the instructor was knowledgeable, their delivery was dry and lacked enthusiasm. The course material was also quite repetitive, and I found myself losing interest after a while. Additionally, the course lacked practical applications and real-life examples, making it difficult to apply the concepts learned. It had potential, but it definitely needs improvement.

4. Daniel - 2 stars - The Rune course was not what I was hoping for. The instructor spent too much time on the basics that I was already familiar with, and not enough time on the more advanced techniques. The course material was also disorganized, and it was difficult to follow the flow of the lessons. I was left feeling unsatisfied and wanting more substance from the course. Overall, I wouldn't recommend it unless you're a complete beginner looking for a very basic introduction to Runes.

5. Emily - 1 star - I was very disappointed with the Rune course. The instructor seemed more interested in showcasing their own knowledge rather than actually teaching. The course was filled with unnecessary jargon and complex concepts that were not explained well. It felt like a course designed for experts, rather than beginners. I found it frustrating and overwhelming, and I don't believe I gained much from it. Save your money and find a more beginner-friendly course.
