Saturday 23 May 2026
8am PDT / 11am EDT / 5pm CET

Approximately 90 minutes

Step into the world of rune magic, myth, and living symbols with Shamans Directory Ambassador Imelda Almqvist — author, artist, teacher, and Forest Witch devoted to Northern European spiritual traditions. From her school in Sweden, where the forest meets the Baltic Sea, Imelda teaches Seiðr, sacred art, and shamanic practices for both adults and children.
​
We are delighted to invite you to this special live online event, dedicated to her latest book, Portals, Patterns and Pathways: A Handbook for Rune Magicians, Star Gazers and Myth Makers — a long-awaited deep dive into the runes of the Elder Futhark.

Imelda will introduce the runes not merely as an ancient alphabet, but as living glyphs infused with spirit and intelligence — powerful allies for divination and insight, supporting us in navigating life with greater awareness and conscious choice.

During this immersive session, she will share the lineage and foundations of rune magic within Old Norse traditions, explore the connection between runes, myth, and cosmic patterns, reveal how runes map a mythic and imaginal realm through archetypes, alchemical, and symbolic language. She will also offer a few live rune readings, and of course, there will be an open space for questions and answers.

The runes are portals, messengers from the unseen realms, and gateways into a deeper relationship with self and spirit. Whether you are new to rune work or already walking this path, this gathering is sure to offer inspiration, insight, and a meaningful connection to this ancestral tool.

Join us for a journey into myth, magic, and the wisdom of the runes.

This event is offered freely.
No pre-registration is required
