Quotes by Katie Gerrard (?)

“Think about what the shape reminds you of. It might not be anything archaic or Norse inspired; it might be something from your modern life. You are using the runes within a modern context; therefore, all of your experiences are valid.”

“personally find that intoning the runes is a particularly powerful way to get in touch with them. By intoning and chanting the voice, we create a gateway within ourselves that allows us to channel the energy into the space we are in. We can then fully experience the energy of the rune, and harness it for use within galdr. ”
