Description
Using the Gothic alphabet for runic divination• Examines the divinatory meanings of the 25 Gothic staves and how they correspond with the 24 runes of the Norse Futhark• Provides a series of rune spreads and several divination techniques for different approaches to questioning and gaining insight• Explores the Goths’ spiritual beliefs, cosmology, and magical systemsOriginating in Scandinavia, the ancient Goths viewed runes as mystical symbols from the spirit realm, using them to read the cycles of fate, known as Orlög. As the Goths migrated across Europe into North Africa, they adopted a new alphabet to mask their Pagan origins. Yet the staves, or characters of the Gothic alphabet, were rooted in the sacred runes and still used for divining, leading the Roman Catholic Church to declare the Gothic alphabet “heretical” 1400 years ago.
