Romantic Runes and Asatru
86 Replies
I can't help but notice that most runecasters that I encounter on the web or in books seem to have a romantic, not to say adventurous view on the runes, or for that matter asatru. For me, the runes…Continue

Maureen Butter commented on Maureen Butter's blog post Great resource on runic wisdom"Yes, I agree. Old is not per se better than recent and we ultimately have to rely on our own wisdom and life experience. But I always found List and his successors shallow, it did not feel right. Yet List's work formulated a frame and a…"

Maureen Butter posted a blog postGreat resource on runic wisdom
Lately, I have been reading a lot on the background of the runes. I read for example Stephen Flowers' translation and introduction to Guido von List's Rune Secrets and Goodrick-Clarke's 'The Occult Roots of Nazism.' It helps me understand why most authors on the runes appear more interested in the magical application of the runes than the inherent wisdom they may convey. Guido von List was the first occultist who regarded the runes as magical and mystical tools and who made the connection with…See More
Maureen Butter commented on Tyriel [Rune Secrets Admin]'s blog post Othala: Identity, Race and Cultural Heritage"Mifein, I love your vision. During my trip to southern Germany it occurred to me, that the runes were probably flawed a long time, even before Guido von List rediscovered them. The Edda and tha saga's provide examples of a less than enlightened…"

Kate Doyle commented on Maureen Butter's blog post Oracles and divination"Fascinating, Maureen. I have been trying to relate specific runes to each day of the week, to the 8 Wicca seasons, with the zodiac, also with the Bagua (Southern, due to my hemisphere) ..... As you further explore your connection of Tarot and runes,…"
Maureen Butter replied to Tyriel [Rune Secrets Admin]'s discussion RAIDHO - Free Rune Course Focus"I still maintain, that Raidho's accent lies on short and easy trips, rather than the long and hardy ones, where you have to go through the mud and confront all kind of hardships and hazards. You can afford to let the horse do all the work, or…"
Maureen Butter commented on Tyriel [Rune Secrets Admin]'s blog post Othala: Identity, Race and Cultural Heritage"I'd like to note, that ancestors are important, not race as a category with all its implications of keeping the race pure. I have reason to believe, that we are like communicating vessels with our ancestors. There really is something like…"

Maureen Butter replied to Dave Tilley's discussion Svartrunar - Black Runes"It depends on the day card and the position in the sequence. If you choose to interpret reversed runes as murk staves, it means that a part of your personality is not connected to what Wunjo represents, the joy of being in the flow, living from your…"
Profile Information
- Bio
- I was born in 1949 in Indonesia under the sign of Pisces. I studies in Amsterdam (biology) and for most of my professional life I was advisor of environmental NGO's, from 2000-2010 also advocating on behalf of NGO's, mostly concerning health and environment. For more than 40 years I have been active as oracle and seer. I have found that you can use just anything for divination. I see the runes as a way to reconnect to my European ancestors who used them. When I am participating in a shamanic healing circle, I often perceive an runemaster ancestor, casting huge and complex runeshield, composed of a couple of 100 runes. They are self-assembling, like snow crystals.
- When did you begin using the runes?
- 1975
- What rune(s) are you most concerned with?
- At the moment elder futhark, but I have an intuitive connection to Viking runes and I appreciate the 33 AngloSaxon runes
- Who are your favorite authors on the runes?
- Tony Willis, the academic work of Edred Thorsson, and the outstanding book by MacLeod and Mees on runic amulets and magic objects

Divination method: the days of the week
Part 1
In this blog I want to give some background material about a method I developed for a Tarot reading. Probably it can be used for the runes as well, but I have more experience with the tarot, so I’ll take my examples from that. I give it here, because someone asked for it, and because it is relevant to divination in general.
Why divination?
Divination is consulting omens or oracles.…

Always thought that old age is a bit dull. No more daring adventures, thrills or kicks. No more challenges, except letting go of course and becoming wise. Not true at all.
The body is like a used car, little things start to falter. The difference being that for each defect, you have to consult another specialist. Last week I had plastic surgery in my face, repair of trauma caused by an accident. Was allowed to go home as soon as the narcosis had worn off. Yesterday I went to the same…

In the face of disaster, compassionate human beings discover that they do not break, but become stronger. We discover that our communities come together, even on a global scale, in face of unimaginable destruction. When the universe shows its inimical side, the side that couldn't care less about average human affairs, it's as if we come together to show overwhelmingly that we care for one another. When the universe demonstrates that it cannot be depended upon, that it is more than able to wreck havoc, we react by showing that we can depend upon one another.A Social Network Exclusively For Rune Study?
