Listening to the Runes

A 28-Day Rune Journaling Workbook

A quiet space to notice what is already present.

Listening to the Runes is a 28-day guided journaling workbook for those who want to experience the Elder Futhark runes not as symbols to memorize, but as mirrors for everyday awareness.

The runes are not here to predict your future or tell you what to do. They offer a language for noticing your own experience — your patterns, your emotions, your body, and the subtle changes that might otherwise go unnoticed.

You don't need to know the runes to begin. And you don't need to find the right answers.

A quiet practice, one day at a time

Each day offers two complementary spaces:

• Guided reflection: Five thoughtful questions to help you notice what is present within you, alongside space to record your daily runes.
• Free reflection: A spacious page with a unique daily phrase and room to write whatever wants to emerge.

The questions remain consistent throughout the workbook. As your days change, you may begin to notice how your answers change — or stay the same.

There is no required pace. Use the pages consecutively, return when you wish, or leave some days untouched.
