SPECIAL OFFER RUNE JOURNEYS E-COURSE $77.00
What are the Runes?
A Way…A Path…twenty-four ancient symbols that by their very nature possess hidden meaning, story and truth. The runes light the way.
What is Revealed?
Deepen and/or discover your connection to your own intuition and guiding resources. Through the divine guidance sourced in Norse mythology and the ancient sagas, the meaning of the runes become clear.
Working with the runes, you will find a path of a life time. The learning never really ends, and that is mirrored in the cyclic nature of the runic alphabet. There are three distinct families of eight (Aetts) that we will study in turn, and at each journey’s close, you find yourself back at the beginning, for another pass and further refinement. Ever deeper you go!
You will connect with ancient gods and goddesses through your study, and gain introductory knowledge of the feminine practice of Seidr…there were women in the past known as Völva in ancient germanic/Teuton society who were healers, story tellers, medicine women, workers of ‘magic,’ and priestesses. The runes were just one of their sacred tools. They would travel from home to home in service to their communities and enjoyed a high standing in their world.

I have much experience with groups like this, you will love the tribal connections that form! (Make sure to ‘friend’ me before September 1st so you can be added).
- Working with the runes, you will develop a sacred relationship to them and the Cosmos. Again, this is just the beginning, for those who are called, of a lifelong learning. The symbols will draw you in and not just help point the way, but lead you on your Way, and in so doing, become a tool you will treasure. That is my intention for you.
- FREE three rune written reading delivered to you by email.

Fairy Mother refers to my deep relationship to and embodiment of the mother archetype and the love I feel for the ‘fairy realm.’ Medicine Woman is the best description I have for my work in the world. It is said that we carry the cure to help others for all that we have restored in ourselves. To my path as a shaman woman, I bring a love of ancient myths, the goddess, and working with symbolic tools to facilitate greater well-being and wholeness.
I bought my first rune set about 20 years ago on sight and have loved working with them ever since. I mainly used them to do readings for personal insight and for friends. Over time, my practice with them became deepened, especially as my path in Contemporary Shamanism grew. I set aside 30 days to spend a day with each rune in the alphabet as well as the important associated deities and spirit guides, journaling my insights, dreams and experiences. You could say I was ‘Spirit Taught’ during this time.
I have come to recognize the runes as a path or a Way to understanding and connecting with your own soul’s path. In working with symbol, we are speaking the language of the Universe and, with the runes, can find alignment between passion and purpose. We know that ancient women practitioners utilized the runes and served as Seers for their communities. It is this beautiful and sacred tradition I hope to invoke in my work and in sharing the hidden mysteries of the runes in teaching others.
Do I need a prior knowledge of runes?
You do not need to know anything about the runes before signing up for this course, however, I do ask that you come with a fascination, a ‘yearning’ to know them on a soul level. What do I mean by that? Well, you saw the poster for the course and you leaned forward, you felt something light up, and felt a yes, oh yes. THAT!
I have enjoyed reading runes for some time – is this the course for me?
My style of teaching is most likely different than what you have previously experienced. My approach to the runes is a deep steep in Norse Mythology. Through the lessons, I hope to show you how to apply the runic alphabet to a ‘soul map,’ meaning, the story hidden in the symbols has universals that can help guide you. If you do have some previous knowledge, I believe you will find your practice enhanced and deepened from this point of view.
What materials do I need before the course starts?
- Elder Futhark Rune Set. There are many on the market today! I suggest a set made of natural materials, like wood, gemstone, or shell.
- Feel free to email me and I will be glad to point you toward some of my favorites on the Etsy marketplace and more.
- A blank journal dedicated to this course. You will record all of your insights and experiences here, and at the end, will have a jumping off point for your own, personal rune guide book.
- A casting cloth. Something of natural fibers that you find beautiful and that will be dedicated to this purpose.
This is an online course, do I need a lot of ‘tech’ knowledge?
No. You only need to be able to access your email, play back password protected videos. A general knowledge of Facebook is helpful but not required. I am happy to get you started if you need assistance.
How is your ‘Rune Journeys’ course unique?
I taught myself to read the runes and work with them by way of a variety of sources. As my path as a Shaman took form, I learned that the Norse Runes are just one of my specialized tools, albeit an important one. In my training, I began to understand that the runic alphabet is oh, so much more than a simple divination tool. These ancient symbols were originally transmitted to the god, Odin and returned with him from his journey to the World Tree. I have deepened my own knowledge and bring to you a love for the old myths and legends that shaped the lives of the people who originally took up the runes for writing, magic, and seeing.
How will I access the course lessons?
Once you have registered, subscribe to my list with your name and email. Each week day there will be a lesson sent to this email. I will not send anything new on weekends so you can always use those days to catch up if need be, although you’ll be working at your own pace in this self study format.
How much time should I expect to use each day?
This will vary from person to person, especially depending on how fast you read and your style of learning. To read and then do the ‘homework,’ my estimate is that each day will take about 30 minutes.
THE FIRST TEN PLACES AVAILABLE AT A SPECIAL PRICE OF $77.00
NORMAL PRICE $97.00

The I AM Change ~ Healing Intensive
Arna Baartz of the I AM PROGRAM brings you the opportunity to participate in an experiential group online course
I AM CHANGE that can truly bring positive change and direction to you.It is time to BE the Change you wish to see in the world in a literal sense and we have a new and empowering way to bring that change into your life.Is it time for you to go on the I AM CHANGE Journey?
IS THIS THE COURSE FOR YOU? YES!
This course is for anyone who wants Change on any level in any area of their life. Many contemplate changing direction of their lives but few actually summon the courage to take the first step.
WHY?
Because to change your life you must change the way you think.
The event offers you the support network of others (if you choose the optional private group section) who also want to change whilst you evaluate where you are in life and what you would like to change to make your life better.
We then support you as much as you need and give you a selection of proven tools to make a start on changing your life during the course period.
It is a powerful and effective, world changing action to understand ourselves, to recognise our need to clean up our own mind and take the steps to positive CHANGE.
Most choices in our lives are made in order to protect ourselves from misconceptions of the past. These choices are no longer necessary but we have to retrain our brains in order to let the past conditioning go.
Change on a deeper level requires you get to know yourself through going within to gain awareness of self sabotaging thoughts, patterns and behaviours. These behaviours have come about through past conditioning and it IS possible to take command and begin RE programming ourselves into a more satisfying and successful life. With an awareness of our patterns and behaviours, we CAN change the way we think and feel about ourselves and what we are capable of achieving. This experiential course gives YOU the tools you need to delve into your habitual negative thoughts and conditioning and make the necessary changes to live a life where you are ALL YOU CAN BE. The course is delivered online and although you do it in your own time, you have complete access to the private FB group and my email support as you need it with support emails for four weeks from the date you sign up. The purpose of the group is to support and collaborate with each other inBeing THE CHANGE!

When Things Are Not Working Out : Stop! ~ Alice McCall
When things are not working out like planned, when things are not going your way, and when no matter what you do you cannot change a situation – one of the best courses of action is to stop and do nothing. I know it may sound crazy, but it is wise advice.
Did you ever consider that maybe you are not in control? Did you ever consider that maybe something different or better could transpire for you, if you would just get out of your own way? Click here for more….
