I'm teaching "Queering the Runes" online through the Fellowship of Fire and Ice! And tomorrow (October 18th) is the registration deadline!

Details:

Monday, October 21st at 6pm PST // 8pm CST

The sliding scale for workshops runs from $15 to $50 based on what you can best afford.

The Fellowship of Fire and Ice is a radically inclusive heathen organization that strives to provide safe spaces to learn heathenry. I am so happy to be teaching with them and honored to be among such esteemed teachers!

Workshop description:

The Elder Futhark create a beautiful system of divination, though finding good information about them can be difficult - especially for queer, progressive, modern heathens and witches. Norse mythology includes an incredible diversity of gender and sexual expression, but this has been largely excluded from books published on contemporary heathenry or runic divination. Even worse, the runes have been wrongfully co-opted by white supremacists and heathens have to actively fight against this stereotype of the rune reader. In recent years, rune readers have been reclaiming the feminine side of the runes, bringing nuance to the craft. In this talk, Siri will explore the queer qualities of the runes through understanding pre-Christian Nordic gender concepts, translating that through a simulation and simulacra, and carving from this root culture a modern future-facing divination system.

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...
