Queering the Runes - Reclaiming Ancestral Wisdom in Rune Magic and Mythology

Siri Vincent Plouff

Sinossi

Queering the Runes is a contemporary, inclusive, and forward-thinking approach to the runes that focuses on finding queer experience, life, and joy in the Elder Futhark. Siri comes to the runes as a queer, nonbinary reader, and presents a path for reclaiming the ancestral wisdom and mystery of the runes in a way that can provide insight and understanding of their sacred nature for masculine, feminine, and nongendered aspects of self. Written as a love letter to the runes, the gods, and the people who follow the Nordic path, Queering the Runes presents an alternative approach to the runes—one that creates a gentle container for those who want to follow this heathen path. Based on the author’s personal gnosis, as well as deep academic research on runes and Nordic culture, this book explores the root culture of the runes, both in terms of myth and of lived, real folkloric experience, and paves the way for understanding how to work with runes disencumbered from patriarchy and white supremacy.   Siri Vincent Plouff presents the traditional meanings of the runes, then helps the reader to queer the runes in their own way. Included are the lore associated with each rune, exercises to apply them to modern life, activities to engage with the runes (layouts, castings, and galdr), and advice on how to use the runes for divination. Throughout, the author provides journal prompts meant to help the reader channel the energy of specific runes, to get to know their energy, as well as to use the runes to help them move forward in a journey of self-discovery.  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.

Secrets of the Tree - Jewish...

Baal Kadmon

Unlocking the Secrets of the Tree: A Comparative Guide to Jewish, Christian, and Hermetic Kabbalah 
The profound wisdom of the Tree of Life has been interpreted across centuries through three major esoteric traditions: Jewish Kabbalah, Christian Cabala, and Hermetic Qabalah. While they share a common source, their philosophies, practices, and goals are very different..This book is an essential guide to navigating their unique complexities and understanding their interconnected spiritual architecture. 
What You Will Discover Inside: 
Kabbalah (K): The Authentic Root: Explore the core mystical tradition, including the nature of the Ein Sof (the Infinite) , the ten Sefirot (Emanations) , and the profound Lurianic concepts of Tzimtzum (Contraction) and Tikkun Olam (Cosmic Repair). 
Cabala (C): The Renaissance Synthesis: Examine how 15th-century Christian thinkers reinterpreted Kabbalah, mapping the Sefirot onto the Trinity and Christological figures in a bid to prove Christian doctrine. 
Qabalah (Q): The Occult System: Trace the evolution into the Western Esoteric tradition, from Eliphas Lévi to the Golden Dawn, where the Tree of Life became a universal framework for ceremonial magick, tarot, and astrology. 
A Unified Framework: Master the key concepts shared across all streams, such as the principle of the Four Worlds (Atziluth, Briah, Yetzirah, Assiah) and the multi-layered structure of the human soul. 
Secrets of the Tree offers a disciplined, comparative approach that honors the Jewish sources while clarifying the transformations that led to the modern occult Qabalah. This is the necessary reference for any serious student of esoteric philosophy, mysticism, or occult practice.

Heedfulness

Bhikkhu Khantipālo

This is an audiobook of Bodhi Leaves No. 98 by Bhikkhu Khantipālo, 'Heedfulness' found in the Pariyatti Edition of Collected Bodhi Leaves Vol. IV, narrated by Shelina Hetherington. 
 
Excerpt: 
...The quality of heedfulness has been praised many times by the Exalted Buddha, just as the opposite, heedlessness, has been condemned. In this Dhamma, there is much to be practised and there is practice suitable for every posture of the body and every minute of the day. There is practice to be done concerning the stream of thoughts racing in the mind, there is more practice connected with the thousands of words spoken every day, and there is Dhamma-practice for the body, whatever it is doing. Now none of this can be accomplished without heedfulness, without making effort, without employing mindful awareness, or without wisdom. Heedfulness implies the conscious cultivation of these three aspects of Dhamma: effort, mindfulness and wisdom....
