How the Runes Taught Me Weather Work


How The Runes Taught Me Weather Work

Originally published on October 3, 2025

Hi there,

I want to share something with you that I haven't spoken about much publicly: how my weather work practice actually developed.

It wasn't planned. It wasn't researched. It emerged directly from relationship with the runes.

The Moment Everything Changed

One storm season, while carving Tiwaz, I got the inner knowing: "Add this to your wind work."

I didn't understand. Tyr is about justice and sacrifice. What did that have to do with weather?

But I've learned to trust the runes when they speak. So I followed it — and when I paired Tyr with Kári, the results were profound.

Later I learned Tyr was the original sky god before Odin took that role. Of course the sky and the wind belong together. The runes knew this before I did.

Why Relational Rune Work Matters

This is why I love relational rune work. The runes aren't just symbols we study intellectually. They're living wisdom keepers. They teach us what we need, when we need it — often before we understand why.

My weather work practice didn't come from books or research (though those have their place). It came from listening. From carving. From offerings, from shamanic journeying. From relationship. From trusting the inner knowing that arises when we work with these ancient mysteries.

Learn This Practice With Me

On October 22 at 12 PM EDT, I'm teaching this full practice in a 90-minute live class: Tyr & Kári: Sacred Weather Work - Shamanic Journeying and Rune Magic.

In this class, you'll learn:

  • The sacred relationship between Tyr (ancient sky god) and Kári (Norse wind giant)
  • How to work with weather spirits ethically and effectively
  • Shamanic journey techniques for weather work
  • Rune magic for storm work and weather relationship
  • The complete practice I've developed over 8+ years

This isn't theory. This is the living practice that emerged from direct relationship with the runes and spirits.

Free Nordic Rune Ritual for First Harvest - Sacred Timing with Sif, Jera & Gebo 🌾 Hi everyone — As August 1 approaches — the sacred time of Hlæfmæst (Nordic first grain harvest) — I've been reflecting on how often we feel pressure to produce and give, even when we're not fully ready.

The Wolf Who Walked Her Home: A Story of Animal Spirit Connection Hey There, I just wanted to share a little story with you about animal spirit connection. Hope you like it. When Mira first came to me, she was in a place many of us have known—burned out, unsure of her next steps, and feeling deeply disconnected from her inner strength. She had tried journaling, meditation, and even therapy, but nothing quite reached the deeper, missing piece she couldn't name. What she hadn't tried was...
