    Book Review Wild Soul Runes: Reawakening the Ancestral Feminine By Lara Veleda Vesta Published by Red Wheel/Weiser LLC 199 pages Publication Date: May 1, 2021     “Runes are beings.

    Witch’s Runes Merry meet.     I was a witch for more than a decade before I came across a set of witch’s runes at a tag sale. It was several more months before I was able to identify what they were. If you believe less is more, you will want these.

Every witch, pagan and muggle can understand these eight symbols: sun, moon, wave, birds, leaf, rings, crossed spears, and the color black. My symbols were burned into twig slices. If you’d like to make a set, you might consider…
