Ep 171: Runes

Untie the pouch of mysticism and new agery with Blurry Photos with an episode all about Runes! An ancient system of divination originating in Germania and Scandinavia, the casting of Runes is the practice of gaining insight through symbols of power. But where did it come from? Where does it derive its power? And how much faith can one put in interpretation of a bastardized alphabet on rocks? Flora and Stecco look at the history of the practice, how it’s supposedly done, and even try their hand at casting and interpreting. What do the stones have in store for them? More importantly, can they stand up to scrutinization? See what the Norns have in store for you in this episode of the podcast! (In Mythology, The Futhark, How-to Guide, A Skeptical Look)
