Episode 246 - Queering the Runes with Siri Vincent Pluoff

I'm joined today by Siri Vincent Pluoff to chat about their newest book, Queering the Runes.

Queering the Runes by Siri Vincent Pluoff is a love letter to the runes, the gods, and the people who follow the Nordic path. The author presents an alternative approach to the runes, one that creates a gentle container for those who want to follow this heathen path. Pluoff presents the traditional meanings of the runes, then helps the reader to queer the runes in their own way. Included is the lore associated with each rune, exercises, to apply them to modern life, activities to engage with the rune (layouts, castings, and galdr), and how to use the runes for divination. Queering the Runes seeks to blow open perceptions of the runes. Exploring them as active, living symbols available to all, as well as the inherent connection with ancestral magic that comes with rune work. 

Siri Vincent Pluoff has been a practicing witch for nearly twenty years and has been reading tarot and runes professionally for six. They are also the brain behind the radical heathenry podcast, The Heathen's Journey, adapted from their column of the same name at Little Red Tarot.
