This episode has a lot of Suzanne’s own experience in learning about runes. Use what is useful to you in your own practice. When you study runes, they are introspective and you’ll end up looking long and hard at your own self. Be kind to yourself as you learn, take time you need to process or reprocess things as they come up.
