You’re Invited to a New Chapter in Rune Learning: Walking a Path with the Elder Futhark & Bonus Free Journal

Posted on September 4, 2026 by runa

Record, Reflect, Read: Introducing Patron-Only Rune Journal Offer

Witches love journals almost as much as they love jars – and the journal I’m about to talk about is especially meaningful.  I’m excited to invite it to become your companion.

After forty years of practicing the Craft and studying not only Runes, but also spellcraft, animism, dreamcraft, green & kitchen witchery, divination, and more, I’ve learned how deeply journaling can transform the way we engage with spiritual practice.

A dedicated Rune journal gives you space to record your casts, interpretations, reflections, questions, and evolving relationship with the Elder Futhark.  Learning, connecting, and developing a relationship with the Elder Futhark is a journey of self-reflection and spiritual exploration. It can also encourage us to learn more about the historical cultures, stories, and traditions connected to the people who developed and used these symbols. 

I began with a simple practice: drawing one Rune each day, writing it out, reflecting on its traditional meanings, and noticing how its message appeared in my life. Over time, that practice deepened. I developed new insights, created original castings, and experimented with different castings methods and layouts. 

You are invited to do the same. I’ll show you how.

The free Rune journals is shown above on my Craft working table.

A Rune journal helps you notice how your readings develop over time. It can reveal where your interpretations were clear, where distraction or assumptions influenced a reading, and where deeper reflection or shadow work may be calling for your attention. More than a record of divination, it becomes a living document of spiritual exploration and personal growth.

With this in mind, I designed a journal partner specifically for people who are learning and exploring Runes. It includes plenty of space for you to record your experiences and document your journey. Use it in whatever way best supports your practice. I have filled my own with daily Rune draws, study notes, casting records, creative spreads, meditations, or anything else that helps you build a consistent and thoughtful practice. There’s no single “correct” way to work with it – it a canvas simply for your magic. Experiment, stay curious, and allow your understanding to evolve with it.  

The journal also marks the beginning of the re-release of Walking a Path With the Elder Futhark, my updated and enhanced course on developing a relationship with Runes. 

The course is built on the foundation of recordkeeping, and includes deeper study, practical exercises, expanded approaches to interpretation, and opportunities to develop a confident, personal relationship with the Runes. The journal gives you a place to document your experiences, track your progress, and reflect on how your understanding changes throughout the course.

Your journey can begin with one Rune, one page, and one moment of reflection. Let the practice grow from there.

A complimentary journal for eligible patrons

To aid you in that practice and as a special offering, patrons in Under The Willow tiers and above will receive a copy of the journal in the quarterly “Magic in the Mail” reward. This is a limited run, so the offer is available to the first twelve eligible patrons who complete the steps below.

To reserve your journal:

  1. Join the Under The Willow tier or a higher tier.

  2. Confirm your shipping address in your Patreon account.

  3. Complete these steps by midnight September 22, 2026, the Autumn Equinox.

If you complete all three steps by the deadline, your journal should arrive before the course begins.

Walking a Path with the Elder Futhark

If you’re a veteran student who joined the live #RunesWithRuna learning sessions in 2024 or 2025, you’ll find that this new written course contains three times the material, offering more space for reflection, practice, and discovery. I warmly invite you to prepare for this rich, new journey and welcome Walking a Path with the Elder Futhark into your witchcraft practice.

This Rune journal is designed as a companion to the course lessons. The expanded new course will be shared here on Patreon and is available to patrons in the following tiers:

Under The Willow

In The Witch’s Garden

At The Witch’s Table

Dream Circle

Studio Squad  

The course includes thirteen lessons. Each lesson will be posted here on Patreon with a downloadable PDF for you to gather into your own course book (or slip into your Rune Journal). Lessons will also include prompts for reflection and conversation.

Bonus content will accompany the lesson and is planned for our Discord and Patreon chat. These discussions will provide additional space to share your experiences, ask questions, and further strengthen your relationship with the Runes.

This is more than a collection of downloads – you’ll also have a Runes coach beside you as you walk the path. 

There’s bonus information about today’s announcement in Discord and Patreon chat, so come join the conversation. If you need Discord information, send me a message and I’ll be happy to help you.

The first lesson will be released on October 3, 2026, followed by a  new lesson during each of the next fourth-quarter moons. Prepare your journal, make space for the work, and join us as we listen for the wisdom held within the Elder Futhark. 

To receive your complimentary journal, be sure to complete the three steps listed above – and reserve your copy before the course begins! And I hope you’ll join me on October 3 for the re-release of Walking a Path with the Elder Futhark.
