Advanced Rune Magic with David Linder

<p>What lies beyond using runes as simple symbols for divination or spellcraft?</p><p><br></p><p>In this livestream, I speak with David Linder, author of Advanced Rune Magic: The Greater Mysteries of Nordic Spirituality, about the Elder Futhark as a path of experiential knowledge and self-transformation.</p><p><br></p><p>David approaches the twenty-four runes as interfaces with Runa, the greater Mystery. Drawing on the Rune Poems, Eddic mythology, historical context, meditation, galdor, talismans, and lived practice, he explores how runes can shape not only magical workings but the practitioner’s character, relationships, and engagement with the world.</p><p><br></p><p>We will also examine where historical reconstruction ends and personal gnosis begins, how modern practitioners can create responsibly within a living tradition, and why Odin’s ordeal on Yggdrasil offers a powerful model of sacrifice, initiation, and the reconstruction of the self.</p><p><br></p><p>Is rune magic ultimately about changing circumstances, or about becoming someone capable of changing the world?</p><p><br></p><p>Book link: US https://amzn.to/4g1COxx </p><p>UK https://link.amazon/B06d9fKYG</p><p>MY COURSES 👩🏻‍🎓 https://drangelapuca.com/courses</p><p>WEBSITE 🔗 https://www.drangelapuca.com/</p><p>BOOK A TUTORING OR A LECTURE 📖https://drangelapuca.com/services</p><p>SUBSTACK ✉️ https://substack.com/@drangelapuca</p><p>BECOME MY PATRON! 🎩 https://www.patreon.com/angelapuca</p><p>SUPPORT ME ON KO-FI ☕️https://ko-fi.com/drangelapuca</p><p>ONE-OFF DONATIONS 💰 https://paypal.me/angelasymposium</p><p>JOIN MEMBERSHIPS 👥 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPSbip_LX2AxbGeAQfLp-Ig/join</p><p>MY PODCAST 🎙 https://open.spotify.com/show/2TKoWTGe6OKRokHN2zUIxM?si=dd9f50a734b14f86</p><p>MY MERCH 👕 https://drangelapuca.creator-spring.com/</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>FOLLOW ME👣</p><p><br></p><p>- YouTube (@drangelapuca)🌟</p><p>- SUBSTACK 💌 https://substack.com/@drangelapuca</p><p>- Instagram (@drangelapuca) 📸</p><p>- TikTok (@drangelapuca) 🎵</p><p>- Twitter (@angelapuca11) 🐦</p><p>- Facebook (Dr Angela Puca) 👥</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>RECOMMENDED READINGS 📖</p><p><br></p><p>REFERENCES 📚</p><p>(Check the related slide on screen)</p><p><br></p><p>MY SET-UP 🛠️</p><p>- Canon 90D camera 📸 https://amzn.to/3yQclh0</p><p>- Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 📷 https://amzn.to/3JjU1BS</p><p>- Teleprompter 🗒️ https://amzn.to/3linWCB</p><p>- Shure SM7B Microphone 🎙️ https://amzn.to/3Jm5IYK</p><p>- Microphone stand 🎤 https://amzn.to/3FueJOn</p><p>- Lights 💡 https://amzn.to/3Zdk8k1</p><p>- DJI Wireless microphones 📡 https://amzn.to/3NWAVVQ</p><p><br></p><p>⚠️ Copyright of Dr Angela Puca, in all of its parts ⚠️</p><p>Music by Erose MusicBand.
