This has been one tough Mercury Retrograde for individuals, as well as, around the globe. In the USA, we have been the victim of Hurricane Irene, the credit downgrade by the S&P, and Greece on the brink of default.
Now that it is officially over as of August 26, 2011, we should see things start to chug forward again. Some people find themselves starting over and in many ways this was a visit to the past to help clear out the debris. Others will have residue from Hurricane Irene and other water issues that need to be dealt with now to prevent further damage in the near future as we experienced three planets in Retrograde at the same time: Mercury, Pluto and Neptune.
Many relationships that were ‘defaulting’ ended during this period. If they didn’t end the relationship this time around, Mercury will go into another Retrograde phase on November 23rd – December 13th, 2011 in the sign of Sagittarius. The issues you were facing this time will again be in the forefront during the next retrograde.
This next Mercury Retrograde will affect any type of travel you may be thinking of during the Holiday Season starting around Thanksgiving. Make sure all of your travel plans are in motion by that time. You could expect delays and other snafus around that time. It should smooth out during the Christmas Season for travel.
Neptune and Pluto are still in Retrograde which can conjure up all kinds of water issues as was just experienced with Hurricane Irene. The damage from the flooding and excessive rain caused more damage than the Hurricane itself. Now is the time to make sure your home’s water systems are in proper working order. Flooding causes more damage than all other natural disasters and I expect this will be another whopping hurricane season.
Things involving liquid gas, oil, and water will continue to be affected by Pluto and Neptune. They will also affect the stock market in oil, heating oil, and natural gas as prices may continue their rise. Watch for lots more flooding and water related damage as the year moves on. It will not surprise me that there will be many more flooding issues that will affect a large number of the population. Make sure you have the right type of insurance whether you rent or own because you might need it.
The last half of December will be a much better time to make travel plans. Buy your heating oil as soon as is financially feasible to lock in lower prices now as they will start to rise dramatically as the year moves forward. This is going to be a high-priced season for all of us until these retrogrades pass.

Mercury Retrograde Affects 2012 Elections
Practical, hardworking, service oriented energy dominates the scene this week. Avoid any tendency to be overly critical of what is not right or not working. Rather, seek to help improve where you are. Remember that feeling grateful, not for anything specific, but just generally feeling grateful, is a powerful tool to center your heart and mind.
Aries Other people can be frustrating, so do your best to be flexible and upbeat. Channel any anger into physical activities. You will be happiest the more heavy work you are doing. Family gatherings can be both challenging and a joy. Do not blame yourself for other people’s bad behavior.
Taurus On Tuesday it will be time to take a step back and review what you have begun in the last few months. Seek support from skillful people who are willing to work beside you. For many events bring an opportunity to start over. You do not have to make the same mistakes again.
Gemini This can be a stressful time. Do your best to be positive. Step up when asked, or before others start grumbling. It helps to keep things simple and not overreact. For you, the “gratitude exercise” mentioned above, can be particularly powerful. You have the power to help your family in an important way.
Cancer The intense energy ou have been juggling all year will be more easily channeled into simple and down to earth pleasures. Do your best to balance work and relaxation. Time spend doing less with people you love is very healing. This is a positive time for conversations that lead to innovative solutions.
Leo Settle down and focus on jobs that are less fun but still important. This is a lucky time to be in closer touch with your family. Older people will appreciate your interest and concern. If you have wanted to learn a new skill, now is the time to start.
Virgo You can tap a wave of positive energy with most of the major planets in Virgo, or in support of your sign. Spending time with friends will help you feel most centered. Do your best not to obsess about what might be missing or incomplete in your life. Perfection is only a target.
Libra This is a busy time! You may have to delay some plans when a sudden change sweeps through your life. It is best to speak up if you are feeling resentful. Do not assume other people will live up to your high standards without some encouragement. A direct approach is best.
Scorpio This is a lucky time for family projects and just spending more time together. Photos, stories, and family mementos need to be protected and shared. Speak up and share your opinions. Take responsibility for any anger you may experience. It’s important not to blame it on other people for your emotional reactions.
Sagittarius You may be feeling rather scattered this week. People in your world may seem to be endlessly focused on things you would rather overlook. Channel any frustration you are feeling into physical challenges. If you want to upgrade the technology you use or expand your network of contacts, now is the time.
Capricorn A powerful wave of energy makes this an ideal time to be in action. Groups who push you to be your best will improve your perspective and performance. Admit if you have cut off the flow of love or tender feelings. It is better to be loving and open, than righteous and angry.
Aquarius You have a circle of good friends who will be there for you when you need them. But even in the best of relationships, there are likely to be some misunderstandings. Strong emotional reactions are usually caused by something in the past. It is important to find solutions that work for everyone.
Pisces This is a time when you may be challenged to be very honest in close relationships. Remember that when one door closes, another always opens. These are trying times, full of unsettled energy. You may feel a bit odd. Exercises such as yoga, playing music, or meditation can help you be more centered.

What is Happening in the Stars for the Week of August 21, 2011?
Most have all been coping with major challenges since June. This week, the choice is clear: even if feeling stressed, spend as much time as possible using your creative imagination and have a good time! Sometimes the joy of friendship, family, and indulging in simple pleasures reminds us life is good.
Aries This is a wonderful week for you to give yourself permission to do something exciting. For those with children or a sweetheart, you can make plans to do something memorable. You can be lucky in love. Be very honest if challenged in any area. Telling the truth can be liberating for everyone.
Taurus Opportunities are everywhere this week: but to make use of them, you must take action. Group projects, or being willing to ask for help from skillful people, will bring unexpected chances to improve your current situation. Avoid any temptation to be overly optimistic and spend more than you should.
Gemini You may be feeling as if you somehow can’t fit in. This will pass. Avoid grumbling about friends, family, or employees who have let you down. Be as diplomatic as possible, even if you are feeling resentful. This is a lucky time for anything that qualifies as “play”. Be especially kind to children and pets.
Cancer Expect to find practical support for any plan or project you feel passionate about. Talk about your interests with confidence. Do what you can to clean up around the house. There is a chance you may be feeling angry with those you like best. Delay starting anything new.
Leo Ta da! This is a high energy, happy time for you. Your ability to step up and do things for those you love earns you fans and appreciation. Trust your inner psychic and do what comes naturally. Those born after August 20 may fall under the spell of a person or other romantic dream.
Virgo You can make excellent progress combining work and play. Do all you can to keep other people organized and you will be able to accomplish a great deal. This is a powerful time to make things more simple, uncluttered, clean, efficient and less toxic. The effort you put in now will pay big dividends later.
Libra This is a potentially liberating time if you are able to be flexible about how you get what you want. Remember that first impressions are very important. Be patient with yourself if you are feeling low energy. Do a few things well and let the rest wait for another time.
Scorpio This is one of those character building times. It is important to remember you are not alone. Any difficulties you face will find practical support if you are willing to let other’s help you. Do what you can to establish positive habits that support what you most enjoy. Those born in early November can be lucky in love.
Sagittarius If you have been putting off something you wanted to do just for yourself, now is the time! Happy coincidences can bring you unexpected good luck. Be open to what comes your way. The December born will enjoy a big dose of support for any fun activity that allows people to be creative and joyful.
Capricorn This is a time of potentially life changing events that arrive disguised as ordinary life. If you have needed to change any of your habits, especially in terms of work, health, or friendship, now is the time. Practical, alternative solutions to even complex problems are possible if you can open your mind to what others are saying.
Aquarius You may be reaping the results of past actions in close relationships. If you are too demanding, you may alienate those very people whose support you most need. Relax as much as possible. Sharing a meal with good friends will help you unwind and feel more upbeat. Continue to polish plans to revolutionize the world.
Pisces You will be able to power through any important plan or project. Do your best to finish what you start. The energy is supportive for letting go of the things you no longer need. Some may fall under a romantic spell that is totally distracting. Let your imagination lead the way.

Astrology: July 4th – 9-11, The USA’s Birthday Progress
Free Weekly Horoscopes August 21, 2011
Arguably, two of the most seminal dates in the history of the United States are July 4th and September 11th. As we approach the tenth anniversary of the 9-11 events, it is important to examine the astrological impact of the progression of the natal chart of the United Stated to September 11th, 2011 to provide both an understanding of where we are and, more importantly, where we are heading.
Why choose those two dates? While the former is the point in time when the U.S. came to be, the later certainly has become the hallmark that forever changed the course of our collective history and will continue to do so into the future.
At the risk of oversimplifying, a “progression” is the theory that the planets will advance one degree per year with the underlying proposition that a degree is equal to a day and a day is equal to a year. Using this approach, the astral march begins on July 4th, 1776 and completes its progressed path on September 11th, 2011. Using what is referred to as the Silbey Chart, the place of our country’s birth is the City of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia, and the “time of birth” is 5:10 p.m.
By examining the progressed chart, we can see how we have arrived at this particular point with the myriad of issues that we are confronting: the financial morass that globally we are stuck in; the ever-increasing political, social, and personal divide that seems to grow with each passing news cycle; cataclysmic events (meteorological, geological and manmade) that confront us all, to mention but a few.
Looking at the planets first, we find that Mercury’s path shows that we are in a time when feelings trump rational thought in our responses to major issues. One has but to look at the recent debacle in Washington to underscore this trend. Venus progressed cautions against attempting to force or smother others with our views. Again, a glance at the internet is all that is needed to see this in action.
Powerful speakers will be competing with Martian energy to win hearts and minds. But, in the middle of the rhetoric and imagery, ultimately, nothing can be accomplished without accord. Jupiter’s path shows excess in actions that may be more harmful than good. Saturn reinforces the inflexibility of competing ideals and the inability to comprise while Uranus gets ready to deliver a jolt to complacency and forces a look to tomorrow.
Neptune reveals accusations from all corners that no one is willing to “put their money where their mouth is”. And the Dark Lord, Pluto? Plutonian energies are pushing one and all to a “do or die” mentality in making their point of view/philosophy/doctrine the one that matters.
Looked at in totally, September 11th, 2011 could mark some significant changes going forward. With strong emotions driving decision making, there is a great concern that impulsive actions or decisions, particularly in the political arena, could spell further difficulties in the financial realm. Both sides need to listen and heed society’s larger viewpoint rather than placing themselves above the crowd.
The need for teamwork is especially stressed; a major opportunity is liable to be missed in the name of ideology. There is a concern that the big picture; most likely in the international sphere may cause a failure to take care of mundane things at home. Finances, again, are front and center and the lack of real world perspective from all sides and could result in a major downturn.
Expect external forces to cause a further polarization of attitudes on all levels. Everyone wants to maintain the status quo but only at the expense of others. This makes planning for the future extremely daunting. It will seem that we are being tossed, literally, from pillar to post. Passionate speeches and rhetoric will dominate the news and only serve to fuel the discontent. Some institutions that were viewed as permanent could well come to an end.
Truly, the tenth anniversary of 9-11 will mark a dramatic time in our history. The heavens turn and change comes. More to the point, the progressed chart for the U.S. provides a unique, if unsettling clarification of the role that we will play in this cosmic dance.

Summer 2011 Astrology Predictions
The U.S.A.’s Natal Chart Astrological Conundrum
What is happening in the stars for the week of August 14-20, 2011?
The pressure for transformation continues! The astrological weather sparks challenges concerning family, ruthless ambition, the need for beauty and harmony, and also primal, uncontrolled aggression. Within what seems scary or discouraging, there is a real possibility of bringing people together, in a creative and loving way, around a shared vision that embraces healing and compassion. Be good to one another.
Aries The March born never seem to catch a break. What does not kill you will make you stronger. Face challenges with courage. Be very honest with yourself and others. April Rams have an easier time of it. This can be a very happy time for love, children, and doing things you most enjoy.
Taurus You may feel between a rock and a hard place this week. This is a powerful period for improving the environment you share with your family. It could be cleaning, renovating, facing up to legal or financial troubles, or simply being willing to let go of the past. Be as open to change as possible.
Gemini Do not be afraid to take a stand for being a better person. Any tendency to try to fit in by pleasing everyone will work against you. It is better to tell the truth, even if some people do not support your ideas. Spend more time enjoying yourself with family and friends.
Cancer The challenge is to remain calm and not allow hurt feelings or sentimentality to cloud your judgment. If you are able to slow down, you will be able to enjoy yourself more. This is an excellent time to take a step back and protect your interests. Indulge in more creature comforts you most enjoy.
Leo This is a happy time! Your imagination and natural psychic abilities are strong this week. Trust your inner voice. If you have been wanting to do something exciting that is a break from your usual routines, now is the time. You can make a big splash in any area where you share your talents.
Virgo Work, work, work. Virgos do this best. There is some risk you will forget to rest and play. Your ability to look at any messy situation and set specific goals to clean this up sets you above the crowd. Don’t feel you have to defend your opinions. Be open to finding inexpensive and skilled helpers.
Libra Please yourself first. Community or group activities can be a source of real satisfaction this week. If you have been having difficulty making a decision, or have been avoiding making a choice, one may be made for you. Do your best to keep things light. People will respond favorably to your naturally pleasant charm.
Scorpio Long standing habits need to be reexamined and possibly changed. What are you doing that no longer supports your dreams or your quality of life? Present yourself with confidence in unfamiliar situations. Above all avoid falling into negative emotional states where you attack yourself or others for what is going on.
Sagittarius Expect to have more fun with family and friends. This week is lucky for love! A sunny, upbeat energy should help you feel more optimistic about yourself and your prospects for the future. This is a powerful time to make choices that change the direction of your life for the better.
Capricorn If you have not yet faced up to those things in your life you habitually do, at the expense of your relationships with others, now is the time. Humility when facing emotionally stressful situations will help you see things most clearly. Be kind to those who love you. Let compromise in solutions come from talking things out.
Aquarius This continues to be a high energy time for friendship, adventure and fun. If possible, take time to travel and explore the world. You may be able to collaborate with someone who has a shared vision. Two heads and hearts will be more effective than one. Children and pets will benefit from your interest and concern.
Pisces This can be a very pleasant time for you. Music and spending time on creative projects will help you feel more centered. Pay attention to anything you have been meaning to do around the house. Unfinished business now will mean more work later. This includes making any calls you have been avoiding.

6 Tips to Keep Your Relationship on Track During a Mercury Retrograde
Summer 2011 Astrology Predictions
What is happening in the stars for the Week of August 7-13, 2011?
For many, this is a period of profound stress and readjustment. It is important to realise the challenges you face demand decision and action. Even tough times hold the seeds of opportunities to improve things in a very down to earth and practical way. Wednesday, August 10th is a critical day for decision making.
Aries This is a time when you can transform yourself, your home, your family in powerful and constructive ways. The March born are especially challenged to face life altering choices. Those born in April will be able to discover joy if you are willing to accept the limitations necessary for successfully getting along with others.
Taurus If you can accept change, you may discover new people and profound opportunities to improve your life. Disappointments of the past need not define who you are. Travel, seeking additional training, and networking with people who share your interests will open doors. A positive attitude is more powerful than you might believe.
Gemini Communication this week can be emotionally charged. You may feel you are standing on the sidelines while all around you people wrestle with uncertainty. Being a good listener and asking questions to understand another’s thinking is a gift you can easily give. Tough times are no excuse for blame. Bring people together for fun.
Cancer Power plays, major challenges, and family drama can be very distracting this week. The June born are especially under pressure to make decisions that may change the course of events. Avoid isolating when you are feeling stressed. Spending time with favorite people and being close to nature will help you be most centered and secure.
Leo You are in a strong position even if things seem uncertain. A very expansive energy may lead you to spend more than you should. Be wise and keep things simple: make a resolution to do more with less. This is a lucky time for lazy days doing things you enjoy. Share the fun with others.
Virgo The more sensitive Virgos may have felt you are at a crossroads, where self-sacrifice or suffering for the good of others is just not working for you. The August born are at a point where practical planning will find enormous support. For all, there are potential breakthroughs if you take action.
Libra Anyone born in September who is not feeling some pressure to break with the way things have been is in denial. Focus on cleaning house and making improvements at home and in the way you relate to your family. Less is more right now. Surrender what you no longer need or use.
Scorpio Do not isolate yourself. It is in relationships that the most positive and important lessons will be found. You may now begin to see yourself from a new perspective. Fight to create the best possible home and family situation no matter what challenges lie ahead. Supportive people will help you solve problems.
Sagittarius Your social calendar may be full! There is a playful, creative, fun loving energy that encourages a positive attitude and having a good time. The more time you spend outside and on the move, the happier you may be. The most simple and down to earth methods bring the best results.
Capricorn You will find a good deal of support for anything you have started that could benefit from a team effort. The seemingly endless forces for change are still challenging many to transform their lives. Those who can embrace uncertainty, rather than try to control it, are on the cusp of a potentially life changing breakthrough.
Aquarius This is the season to reach out in friendship. You don’t have to do anything expensive or elaborate, simply be there for people you care about. Things may begin to feel more stable emotionally and in terms of your life in general. Spending quiet time near the beauty of nature can renew your spirit.
Pisces You may be coping with big projects or fierce challenges on the home front. Keep your sense of humor and be as loving as possible. Remember this is a time of great trial and change for many people. Those who are most controlling, may be most unhappy. Relax, let go, trust the flow of events.

Survival Guide for Mercury Retrogrades
Mercury Retrograde Cosmic Communication Chaos
While the world’s attention has been focused on the events in Washington and the looming August 2nd deadline, there is another “deadline” that is also approaching which, in its own way, could be as chaotic on an emotional and romantic level as the failure to raise the debt ceiling. I am speaking, of course, of the Mercury Retrograde which is upon us all and manifests in full force starting on August 2nd.
Mercury Retrogrades are well known for their disruptive impact on communications. Whether electronic, written, or interpersonal, the Messenger in reverse truly reflects the observation of Marshall McLuhan that “the medium IS the message”. Calls can be dropped, emails lost (or worse,”reply all” is hit), checks lost in the mail, computer glitches abound, social media such as Facebook and Twitter (@PsychicCosmos1) become the unintentional vehicles for social gaffs of all sorts, and on, and on.
The inability to conduct civil communication or even express coherent thoughts has been on display in our nation’s capital in the two week run-up to the actual beginning of this Mercury Retrograde. While there are those who feel that this is the result of strong ideological differences, the not-so subtle “push” of the Mercurian chaos can clearly been seen as having left its mark over the entire process.
Perhaps the one area that can be most dramatically impacted by the Messenger’s rearward flight is the realm of love and relationships. With the myriad of pressures that we all have to contend with in today’s world, communication is the one area that is most susceptible to the negative flows.
As the transmitter of spiritual and emotional energy to the material realm, Mercury in retrograde transforms from a beacon of enlightenment and shared thoughts, to the trickster and deceiver whose misdirection of communications can (and does) lead to additional stress and arguments as well as, creating mistrust and doubt between even the most stable of couples.
How can love flourish (or at least survive) during the Time of the Messenger? The first thing is to acknowledge that, during the retrograde, the two of you may find yourselves missing or misunderstanding communications. If you both are aware that the Messenger’s energy is impacting your perceptions, it will be much easier to take that important step back before drawing a conclusion that may be based on a communication snafu.
The second thing is to remember that words (written, spoken, electronic, tweeted etc) have a heightened impact during this time. Taking a fraction of a second to make sure of what you are trying to communicate can help to mitigate a potential retro-snafu. Similarly, keep in mind that the tools of communication, themselves, may well be malfunctioning during this time. Try to keep your frustration with these “glitches” in check as taking it out on your partner will only add to the problem.
Lastly, if truly important issues can be tabled for the fortnight of the retrograde, it would be wise to do so. If something major must be dealt with, try to make communications on a face-to-face basis as much as possible.
Again, this can help lessen the impact of the Messenger and reduce the element of misunderstandings. During this time, psychics and astrologers, such as those at PsychicCosmos.com do experience higher than normal requests for advice but are more than willing and ready to help those whose path and relationships are under affliction from the Messenger’s backward dance.
6 Tips on Keeping Your Relationship Intact During a Mercury Retrograde:
1. Try to have face-to-face discussions
2. Take a step back during misunderstandings
3. Keep your perception of reality during this time
4. Be careful how you say things to others
5. Be aware of misdirected emails and texts so you don’t hit ‘send all’
6. If emotions run higher than normal, take a big step back until things seem normal again
Seek them out, if needed, and know that the heavens continue to move and that on August 26th Mercury again pursues a forward course through the heavens.

Survival Guide for Mercury Retrogrades
Summer 2011 Astrology Predictions
Disruptions in travel throughout Mexico, social and government disruptions in the middle east with potential impacts on gas prices, various issues with the Internet and telecommunications, a botched terrorist event, which caused massive interruptions of personal plans-all of these “mega-events” involve some kind of communication issue. And, as many of us who follow the stars and planets know, are all part and parcel of the effects of one of the most challenging Mercury Retrograde periods in recent memory.
Mercury Retrogrades impact communications of all types. Obviously, travelling from point A to point B is a type of physical communication; planning to attend an event involves other types of communications-reservations, tickets, etc. Problems with the Internet and phone services are another example. It goes without saying that this Retrograde cycle has been one of the most disruptive in the last few years. With nearly three weeks left in this cycle, (Mercury goes direct on August 26th) you are probably wondering, and with good reason “What Next??” and how do I survive it.
First and foremost, accept the fact that there are going to be interruptions, misunderstandings, botched messages, etc. on all levels. Calls won’t get returned, emails go unanswered, interpersonal communications become confused, argumentative, or worse. Communication devices fail at improbable moments; travel plans hit snafus, and so on. Allowing yourself to be “hooked” into making impulsive or rash decisions or responses to these events will only succeed to add to your frustration and, in fact, can make bad situations even worse.
Knowing that the events you are dealing with are symptomatic of the Retrograde cycle, try to take a breath (or two, or three) and avoid making knee-jerk responses. As hard as it may seem, actions (or reactions) during this time should be made with deliberation and not trying to force the issue. Sometimes, the best response to a Mercury Retrograde crisis is to take that step back and view the situation from as dispassionate a view as you can. In doing this, you might actually see elements that you had overlooked and can appreciate the full ramifications of course of action. In this sense, the communication disruption can also be a positive event.
Second, take stock of your upcoming short term plans and truly ask yourself if anything can be rescheduled or pushed back. If so, I would recommend trying to do this; although, the rescheduling in and of itself may also be impacted by the effects of Mercury. If there are items or activities which you were planning to schedule during the Retrograde time, holding off on those events will reduce the stress level and ultimately may lead you to reassess your plans and, again, perhaps discovering things that you had overlooked or hadn’t considered before.
Third, looking to the future, learn when the next Retrograde cycle is supposed to occur and see if there are plans or activities that may be impacted. Forewarned is forearmed and in the case of Mercury Retrogrades, no truer phrase could be uttered. Admittedly, this will not remedy all of the potential chaos that a Retrograde can bring with it (especially of the “mega-event” variety), but on a personal level, if you can reduce the areas where you might be affected, it will make the time far less stressful and, ultimately, will take less energy to endure.
Remember the full effects of a Mercury Retrograde can often take up to two weeks to dissipate after Mercury goes direct. The effects of this astrological event will vary from person to person. Seeking competent advice from trained astrologers, psychics and tarot readers can help you through these trying times.

Another Cosmic Knock Knock Joke
Mercury Retrograde Cosmic Communication Chaos
Mercury Retrograde Dating Guide
PsychicCosmos © 2009
Lou’s newst book The RuneChest just came out and is available at Amazon.
Runes have held a special place in the fabric of Northern European, Celtic and Anglo-Saxon cultures. Serving as both a linguistic and mystic device, these ancient symbols reach across the boundaries of time and space to ensnare both the scholar and the seeker in the quest to understand and interpret the messages that they bring. This volume blends the traditional runic meanings with contemporary interpretations to provide a new voice to the runic oracle bringing it forward into the 21st century for beginners and skilled seekers alike.
The RuneChest looks both to the past and the present in order to provide a meaningful guide to the future. The Oracle has never been, nor will ever be static and, for those seeking guidance from its lessons, the interpretations that I have put forth in this work will hopefully bring counsel and direction to the readers of today, just as the Oracles of antiquity gave advice to those who sought them out in places such as Delphi.
Excerpt from The RuneChest:
“The desire to gain a greater understanding of our world and our role in it is probably stronger now, in the 21st century, than it has been for centuries. As we are bombarded with more and more information through the Internet and other media sources, it has become increasingly difficult to sort out crucial answers to the issues which confront us on our life path. Interpersonal communication has been replaced in large part by email and texting; time for reflection gets lost in our ever more hectic daily schedules.
With so little time to focus on those life choices which we confront, it is small wonder that it seems that we lurch from one decision to the next, hoping for the best outcome but still questioning whether or not we are truly understand what we are doing.
It is here that the Runic Oracle can provide the “compass” to reconnect us to the innermost working of spirit and those forces which propel our universe. Giving guidance and re-centering our energies on the tasks which face us, the Runes have again fulfilled their unique role as Oracle just as they were used nearly two thousand years ago.”
This book will provide a fresh point of view to the art of runecasting, honoring both the ancient and historic roots from whence the Runes themselves sprang forth and the expanded horizons and thoughts of those who brought these timeless symbols forward into the light of modern day.
