Today’s episode is a little different from the usual… instead of the typical lecture lesson, today we’re getting hands on with some tarot cards, my juniper runes, and a sneak peek into the year ahead! This is partially a demonstration of one way I like to use divinatory tools, and partially an experiment in prediction and magical preparation—we’ll check back throughout the year to see how the cards and runes from this reading play out in real time across the seasons.

Today we’re finishing what we started in Episode 04, and continuing the discussion of runes in protection magic. We discuss Sowilo, Othala, the natures of light and darkness, and the struggle to say “the right thing.” You ready?

What are runes? How can you use runes in magic? Which runes are best for protection magic? How can you integrate the evocation or invocation of those runes into your magical practice and everyday life? Let’s talk about it!
