Queering the Runes by Siri Vincent Plouff

Queering the Runes – Divination with Runes for inclusive, queer self-discovery

For queer, nonbinary, and gender-nonconforming readers, Queering the Runes invites you to explore divination with runes through a compassionate, inclusive lens. This 240-page paperback from Plentiful Earth | Spiritual Store blends traditional Elder Futhark meanings with a queer-forward rewrite that honors masculine, feminine, and nongendered aspects of self while guiding you toward insight, healing, and authentic self-expression.

Let the runes speak your truth and guide your days with steady, compassionate power.

Rooted in Nordic tradition, this book presents the lore behind each rune and offers practical exercises to weave their energy into everyday life. It creates a gentle, safe container for those walking the Heathen path who also want to honor diverse identities. Whether you seek cleansing, grounding, manifestation, or clear insight, this guide shows how to approach the runes with intention, reverence, and joy.

It speaks to the challenges of finding belonging and authentic self-expression in a modern world. By reframing the runes through a queer lens, it supports you in building confidence, trust in your intuition, and a sacred daily practice that aligns with your truth.

• ✨ Inclusive reinterpretations of rune meanings with a queer-centered perspective
• ✨ Lore, mythic connections, and deities within the Nordic tradition to deepen resonance
• ✨ Practical exercises for layouts, castings, and galdr (chantwork) to integrate energy
• ✨ Journal prompts to channel rune energy, track growth, and move toward self-discovery
