Description
Lost Teachings of the Runes presents a life-affirming, death-honoring approach that returns the runes to a place of balance, of light and dark, of order and chaos, back to the roots and branches of the World Tree. It invites the reader to journey to the realms of past and future that exist hidden beyond the horizon and beneath our feet. Using an engaging blend of stories, meditations and ancestral knowing, author Ingrid Kincaid explores Northern Mysteries from the center of the Wheel of Life, demonstrating ways the Wheel can be used to connect ancient wisdom with modern living. She offers tools and teachings that may be used on a daily basis to enable readers to reconnect with their ancestors, reclaim their heritage and live more harmoniously with the earth.
Lost Teachings of the Runes is an unexpected adventure into the hidden meanings and profound lessons held in the signatures of these ancient beings.

Nighogg in the Roots
Beneath our feet the dragon serpent dwells. There are some who believe she is damaging or destroying the Tree by constantly gnawing on the roots. Perhaps these are the same ones who believe that only negative, evil, and bad things happen in the dark, down below. The destruction that happens below the surface, in the moist, dark places of the earth is necessary. Things are eaten underground and transformed so something new and vital can emerge. The same thing happens on a larger scale in the universe. She consumes herself, expands and then contracts. This cycle is expressed in the imagery of the Tree. The dragon gnawing, the leaves dripping, and the Nornir tending. This is also embodied in the World Serpent Jormungund, as symbolized in the ouroboros, the serpent consuming and feeding itself at the same time.
Pertho
How comfortable are you with uncertainty? You cannot play the game unless you are willing to take a chance. The pouch is open, ready for you to reach in and take hold of some of its contents. The Nornir know all that Pertho holds. They are the pouch and they are the contents. The mother gives birth to what is already inside, the unknown known. We can be pious and overly concerned with what we deem as spiritual but the gods demand that we are willing to play the game as well. Roll the dice.
