"GODDESS RUNES" are magic in the way they enable you to glimpse yourself
and the living of life from another angle, an angle unfettered and free,
filled with love and joy. To learn of them is to become as a child again,
rediscovering the true magic of sacredness.
All the books currently written on runes are about oracle
or yang runes and the masculine approach to rune use.
Atwater is the first to write about the elder runes, which
are used only for casting and are yin or of the feminine.
These "group" runes are cast as a single unit, freely,
without the need for either layout or format. Illustrative,
they create picture patterns that stir the deepest recesses
of our heart-of-hearts. Between 12,000 to 17,000 years ago,
in areas around Ukraine and Crimea, there once existed
glyphs like these. Although no clear tracking can be done,
Atwater does attempt to keep these ancient symbol-signs in
historical perspective. . . using them according to The Way
of A Cast, a toss technique preserved via oral traditions.
"THE MAGICAL LANGUAGE OF RUNES" (Bear & Co., Santa Fe,
NM, 1990) was Atwater's initial attempt to "pass the skill
on," but it is now out-of-print. "GODDESS RUNES" greatly
expands this earlier work, while focusing on both
present-life and past-life casting procedures. Extensive
Resource Section.
Author Note: I came across this set of ancient
runes right after my third near-death experience. They were
introduced to me by Dana Corby, a woman of generosity and
charm. I subjected the set Dana prepared for me to lengthy
tests and experimentation , spending as much time searching
libraries and oral traditions as I did exploring "memory
fields." (Ever since my near-death experiences, I have been
able to visit the radiant realms at will.) My goal in doing
this was to honor both the history and the sacredness of
these special runes. As an unexpected benefit, using Goddess
Runes in The Way of A Cast enabled me to retrain my brain
and become more whole-brained. I have noticed that others
benefit in this manner, as well. There's something about the
casting process, if you use the elder glyphs, that
synergizes brain function - "brings together to form a
whole."
The average person only needs two and a half hours of
play with Goddess Runes to begin casting and interpreting
like a "pro." Some, who are more left-brained, take about
four hours; children , around fifteen minutes. Goddess Runes
and The Way of A Cast are easy, fast, and fun to learn,
empowering you to develop that wellspring of wisdom within
you. The book shows you how to create your own set.
"GODDESS RUNES" is newly released. Here are the first
reviews. The rest are endorsements for my first rune book,
to give you an idea of how the yin runes were received:
"I recently finished reading your book, 'Goddess Runes.' I was not
able to put the book down. Your style, construction, and content went
right to my heart. Your writing struck a cord with me that I have seldom
felt. I could feel the words and knew intuitively what you were saying.
I have ordered a Goddess Runes set to practice with while I search for
my own pebbles ad make my own. I thank you for your work in this area.
I have felt so out of place in the structured confines of Protestantism.
This spirituality of bonding to the world seems so right! I wish I had
'discovered' it sooner." James P. Gibson, Madisonville, Texas
"A STONE'S THROW. Rune casting, with its inherent flexibility
and openness to interpretation, lets you explore the power of your own
insights. 'GODDESS RUNES: A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO CASTING AND DIVINATION
WITH ONE OF THE OLDEST KNOWN RUNE SETS' introduces a set of ancient
glyphs that may be more than twice as old as the Germanic runes used
in other rune sets. Author P.M.H.Atwater explains how to cast, read,
interpret, and care for runes stones, drawing on basic techniques and
your own psychic abilities. The book also comes with a page of rune
stickers that you can affix to stones or other objects with special
meaning to you, creating your own personalized rune set." New Age
Journal
"P.M.H. Atwater brings to us the story of one of the
oldest forms of divination: Goddess Runes. Coming to us out
of our most ancient past the runes were created by
Cro-Magnon women to express their deepest and most spiritual
feelings in the form of the first written language. This
unspoken script was born some 17,000 years ago from a deep
need to express the feelings of connectedness with the
planet and convey spiritual knowledge. While the men of
Sumeria were credited with developing written language to
record business transactions, the women of ancient
east-central Europe appear to have developed their Spirit
language 2000 years earlier. The Goddess runes are an
offshoot of these ancient glyphs, and this spiritual
language is still found in the runes today, expressing that
same female energy and intuition. From the ways of a cast,
to the past and present life samples, Ms. Atwater carefully
walks the reader through the use and meanings of the Goddess
Runes. Since 1978, she has taught thousands of people the
way of the runes. Learn how to make your own set or find
sources for custom sets. The Goddess Runes are a beautiful
way for women to get in touch with their natural divinitory
powers and intuition, but can also be a wonderful tool for
men to tap their long suppressed feminine energy source."
Wildfire Magazine
"The comprehensive subtitle 'tells all': A Comprehensive
Guide to Casting and Divination with One of the Oldest Known
Rune Sets. In her own unique style the author opens wider
the 'lost mysteries' of using the elder/yln Runes, pointing
out that their secret is feeling and trust. The suggested
use of the fourteen marked stones and the two unmarked ones
for the asking of questions is to throw or cast them as a
collective unit to address 'the real issue at hand,' which
may or may not be the question asked. Such divination is a
method by which one may 'freeze time' in order to examine a
given moment and discover its potentialities. Atwater gives
ample and progressive directions for the reader: preparation
for ritual (including a sample), setting the scene for the
cast, casting, reading a cast, as well as examples of
present-time and past-life casting. The many synchronicities
of history are explored in a chapter entitled 'Memories and
Mind,' and the concluding chapters, 'Spirit Speaks' and
'Woman Speaks' are a balanced and fitting conclusion. As the
author says, 'the real runes are the purest magic and
mystery' (p. 163). Excellent and extensive resource
suggestions are appended." Joe Ann Van Gelder
"I just wanted you to know I have found your books both
enjoyable and enlightening. I find your forthright style
extremely refreshing, particularly on arcane subjects. The
no nonsense clarity in COMING BACK TO LIFE really added a
dimension to the field. I picked up your Runes book, knowing
nothing about runes except some dim subliminal past-life
resonances, and I could barely put it down for dinner."
J. L. Simmons
"This is destined to become a classic of the new
free-form, non-traditionalist, runic school." Edred
Thorsson
"P.M.H.Atwater introduced me to the runes in 1983. I
was deeply impressed with her skill and the reverence she
brought to this ancient art of divination. In writing this
book, she makes her considerable ability available to
others. I highly recommend this work." Caroline Myss
"I'm thrilled to have THE MAGICAL LANGUAGE OF RUNES in
the Wise Woman Center's Green Witch and Goddess Library. The
Wise Woman Way - of knowing from within - of remembering,
rather than acquiring wisdom - is vividly and delightfully
brought to the art of rune casting in this book. P.M.H.Atwater shares secrets seasoned by experience, ideas clearly
drawn out, and memories, a deep and sure sense of the way of
the ancient wise ones." Susun S. Weed
"THE MAGICAL LANGUAGE OF RUNES brings a practical,
down-to earth approach to the ancient practice of
divination, using our brothers and sisters of the mineral
kingdom. P.M.H.Atwater brings her own experience and her
lyrical use of the English language to a subject often made
too complicated for a true and deep understanding. I
whole-heartedly recommend this book to anyone interested in
increasing their understanding of life." Wabun Wind
"P.M.H.Atwater is a wonderfully talented lady, and
this time she has created a delightful book of the magic of
runes. Her research into this subject is very significant
work. A must read!" Bryce Bond
"P.M.H.Atwater has the magical capacity to reach and
touch the reader through her words, allowing them a direct
experience of her. She speaks directly and simply to the
reader's experience, creating a context for easy learning,
practice and the development of intuition. With this book
the reader travels effortlessly from tuition to intuition,
from the external teachers to the internal teacher. . . Her
philosophy is obviously a new paradigm, for a new age, and a
new people. I cannot praise this book too highly, for it is
really a modern masterpiece among the plethora of new age
'self-help' books." Enid Hoffman
"In this most accessible work, P.M.H.Atwater describes
how the ancient and powerful divinatory sigils called runes
came to her at a point of spiritual crisis in her life and
how she learned to work with them and understand them on
many levels on which they operate. While factually
informative, hers is a human account of the subject rather
than an austere, scholarly analysis. She touches on many
crucial aspects of the divinatory process." Paul
Devereux
