About The Book

A deck that combines the Elder Futhark with plant magick

• Explores Scandinavian divination, traditional European witchcraft, and magical herbalism

• Pairs each rune of the Elder Futhark with a plant according to their shared energetic correspondences

• Offers a ritual for consecrating new decks, six spreads for rune casting, and eight spell cards for a fully immersive experience

With roots in Scandinavian divination, traditional European witchcraft, and magical herbalism, this deck offers clarity in times of confusion, direction when one’s lost their way, and strength in the face of adversity.

The creators have paired each rune of the Elder Futhark with a plant according to their shared energetic correspondences. Thurisaz is combined with the thorny blackberry in a card of defense. Ansuz and yarrow are brought together in the communication card. Hagalaz and deadly nightshade are combined to convey storms and chaos. This synergy provides a multidimensional view of each rune and plant for expanded knowledge and deeper readings and insights. Each card is illustrated with a color palette of black, tan, and gold to reflect 16th-century engravings and ancient grimoires. The authentic design further draws readers into the magical intersection between runes, witchcraft, and herbalism. The Runes and Roots Oracle includes a ritual for consecrating new decks, six spreads for rune casting, and eight spell cards for a fully immersive experience.

Offering practical knowledge and the call to look deep within, this deck is a magickal union of ancient symbols and the natural world.
