These changes affect how we earn a living, how we view and take care of each other, our relationship to Nature, how we connect to the Ancestors, and the means through which we find center, time and again. Whether the changes are due to timing, growing pains, or colossal human screw up, we're all in search ofwhile creating a better, more sustainable way of being for ourselves and all of Life. This time calls for nothing less than sacred activism, which means living every opportunity to be a wise elder. It means learning to tend what can't just be fixed, and using every tool at our disposal to accomplish that. The runes are such a tool for personal development and community connection, and in the Old Norse tradition, this process is wyrdweaving at it deepest potential. The Runes provide one way we can create ourselves as fit elders, so that we can become well Ancestors upon death.The Weekly Rune is a runecast I created in June of 2012, to gain insight into current life dynamics and help us navigate them with the. More than just a runecast,The Weekly Rune includes the keys to making better choices based on keen insight into the present, to help each of us be more active in creating a better reality for us all. We can't control everything, though what we can control is our responsibility. I consider this sacred act soul tending at its highest level. In the Old Norse tradition, this process isat it deepest potential. It is rising to the occasion of, to sustain cultural wellbeing as anThe weekly 3-rune cast draws on seasonal guidance through the half-month rune , an intuitive rune to focus the best way to express or work with the half-month rune, and a final rune indicating the system that most needs to speak to the current life dynamic. It may be the voice of Nature, of Earth, Creation, or of the runes, themselves. I note the source of the final rune in each cast.Theof The Weekly Rune includes:My hope in sharing The Weekly Rune is that it provides guidance on collective patterns, which helps you hone in on personal needs, desires, and resources. It helps you to do your personal work, and show up in life. When we are more capable of showing up in our communities, when we can consistently and with love provide ourselves with those strengths, we are fit elders.Learn how I set the intention for the runecast and how I interpret it, on my IGTV channel -- @kelleysoularts With almost 25 years of working with others in soul work, I've realized the misnomer of the phrase "soul healing." It gives the idea that if we only address things at a soul level, they can be completely eliminated. Maybe. Sometimes. What happens most often and is more practical is that through the soul awareness, we learn the dynamics at play at all levels, and can become more active in how we balance them. Most often this is a lifetime commitment. Not everything heals, in the sense that it's gone for good. In that lack, we must cultivate skills around soul tending, the ongoing awareness at all levels, that keeps us engaged with our inner worlds and life around us, so that we can evoke change. For this reason,and the skills needed to sustain it throughout life.Beyond wise knowing, sacred activism is soulful doing. It is a compassionate response to soul-inspired work rooted in boots-on-the-ground action that improves life for everyone. When we take responsibility for our own path through this world as animists, we improve the way for all others. This is the nature of activism.The runes give us insight into how to sustain this inclusivity and sense of duty through keen wyrdweaving, wisdom from Natural laws, and finding the human elements in their ancient lore.The runes offer one way to engage in direct relationship with All Things. The Weekly Rune offers insights on how to do jut that.I'm Kelley Harrell , and I believe we can do better. I believe we all share the calling to be fit, embodied elders, who upon death become wise, capable Ancestors. To fulfill that calling, we must respond at a soul level. Through deep animistic connection, I teach others to find their unique spiritual paths in support of their quiet dead, healed ancestors, fellow humans, and peaceful coexistence with the spirits of the land they live on.I started working with the Runes when I was 19 (which was a long damn time ago). For me, the runes are a critical bridge between the shamanic healing narrative and ancient wisdom. In short, they tell the narrative of the most vital components of how to live as a soul in form, well. For that reason, they remain wholly viable to contemporary seekers, and I am committed through writing The Weekly Rune and my work with the runes to keep them relevant. I remain a lifelong student of the runes, because in theand theI find the. Their message is still relevant, today.I’m an author , lifelong intuitive, and deathwalker, living in Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina. Through Soul Intent Arts , I’ve worked with a local and international client base since 2000. I hold a Masters in Religious Studies, and am an ordained interfaith minister. My work is Nature-based, and is focused through animism, Seiðr, Druidry, ancestral healing, and deathwork. I work closely with the Elder Futhark runes and divine Nature Spirits of eastern North Carolina. Assisted byin the form ofloblollies, Bermuda grass, sidewalks, and my Ancestors, my work emphasizes social justice through sacred activism. I remain vigorously involved with the worlds in and around me.I mentor a two-year Intensive focused on modern ssoul tending, The Spirited Path , and a one-year runes Intensive, Reclaiming the Runes . Contact me for info on both.Memoir, spiritual nonfiction, and new adult magical realism are my literary areas of expertise.

Signed copies of my books can be purchase at Etsy Apart from writing, I enjoy creating runic art and ritual items, my hands in the dirt, and working with others as a facilitator of spiritual wellbeing and mentor of soul studies.It seemed like a natural progression of The Weekly Rune to produce adiscussing the runes in a less formal and more relatable discourse. I began recording What in the Wyrd in December of 2017, just before Jera at Yule, with no expectation of what it would become. It's so fun to do and generated such a great following that I look as forward to recording it every week, as I do writing The Weekly Rune. With What in the Wyrd, I can delve into deeper topics around the intersectionality of the runes, animism, and modern mysticism, beyond the base runecast. What in the Wyrd is available on many podcast platforms, though I record it on the Anchor app. From the app you can call in and ask questions, share insights, or you can email them to me directly.In the spirit of Gebo's, I wanted to create a mutually beneficial relationship between myself and other runesters (*waving*) who enjoy my runework. While the runework that I create and share is a labor of love, it isn't free for me to produce. I pay for web hosting, domains, production applications--all the tech that's required to sustain an online platform. I put a great deal of time and effort into sharing my runework.I turned to Patreon for a wider opportunity to bring the runes forward in a modern context. The result has been combining the transformative work of the runes with soul tending services, ongoing. Through Patreon I have the ability to create The Weekly Rune in a paid and free version , in a framework of sustained community interaction, with the cost of soul tending services spread over time. Likewise, What in the Wyrd and The Wisdom of the Runes are richresources for deepening personal work with the runes. In the relationship that's formed between myself and my audience, we are bringing the runes forward in ausable, relatable modern context.After hosting this community on Patreon for several years, it has become a vital aspect of my soul space.By working with me monthly through Patreon, we will form a more sustaining relationship to:Depending on the pledge amount, rewards include:The work you do to better you benefits every being.
