Queering the Runes Course Schedule Release


Troll Brev.

Oh my goodness, January FLEW by!

I've been busily writing and recording lectures behind the scenes for the course, and with everything going on in the world it has been hard for me to balance talking about how excited I am for this course with the actual writing of the course.

I'm absolutely falling in love with this course model. The Queering the Runes course will be a mixture of live sessions as well as recorded. The base lectures - all of the lectures on the runes, as well as the framing lectures - will be recorded. However, I know that a very important way that people can learn is through talking with other students, as well as asking questions.

So I've created a schedule of live lectures, as well as office hours where you can schedule an appointment with me, and Q&A sessions.

Today, I'm happy to announce the live session schedule for the Winter 2025 session of the Course!

Queering the Runes Live Events:

Wednesday, January 29th 2025: Material for the first section, "Context Clues," Drops

Sunday, February 2nd at 7pm CST: Group Ritual for Runic Immersion

Wednesday, February 12th at 7pm CST: Lecture: The World of the Runes

Sunday, February 23: Office Hours open for appointment: 4-9pm

Sunday, February 23: Final sections of the course drop

Wednesday, February 26: Lecture: Working with Runes in an Animist Paradigm

Wednesday, March 19n at 7pm CST: Divination Praxis and Q&A

Wednesday, April 2 at 7pm CST: Rune Magic Praxis and Q&A

Lectures will be recorded, but Office Hours and Q&A sessions will not. In the case of post-lecture Q&A, it will all be recorded for simplicity. In future iterations of the course, there will be additional research topic lectures added as my own research and growth develops.

So: Are you in? Register ASAP!

Not sure if you want to sign up for the course? That's why I've scheduled a 2-hour Intro to Queering the Runes WORKSHOP! It's happening this coming Saturday from 11am - 1pm CST. At only $25, this is a great way to gauge whether the full course is a good fit for you.

Troll Brev. A Year of Rune Magic Pre-S: Quick reminder that registration is still open for "Queering the Runes! Check it out here One of the things that's been coming up lately for me is the idea of immersion. Of balancing dedication with play and experimentation. This is one of the reasons that I've been loving the new podcast, Chaos and Cunning, so very much. It's allowing me to be more experimental in what information from my practice I share. I turned to more modern forms of magic after...

Troll Brev. Hey everyone! I’ve been hard at work today recording the audio for the Queering the Runes course, and I wanted to share a little something with all of you. I’ve intentionally designed the “Queering the Runes” course to be mostly recorded, but also partially live. I know that I tend to get so much more out of an online course when I can interact with the other students and the teacher. So of course there’s a part of my discord server that I’m designing for students to use, and I...

Troll Brev. IT'S FINALLY HERE! I'm so thrilled to announce that I've transformed "Queering the Runes" into a full-blown course! Last winter, when I taught the last fully live version of my "Radical Runes" course, I said that it was because I had too much material for a live course. I wanted to go deeper, and it was so hard to take things OUT of the class so that I could fit it into a reasonable amount of time (read: six 2-hr long sessions). I wanted to give a full lecture for each rune, as...
