Runes for the Green Witch Review

I am such a HUGE fan of fellow Pittsburgh Witch Nicolette Miele @handfulsofdust. I think everything this woman creates is BRILLIANT. From her handcrafted oils and incenses to her magnificent runes, her magickal prowess is evident in everything she creates. Nicole’s Instagram feed is an aesthetically pleasing feast for the eyes, with photo captures that play with light and texture in a way that can only be described as mesmerizing. When it came to my attention that she had authored a book I knew that we were all in for a real treat.

Runes for the Green Witch is a captivating read right from the start. Not only is the covert art incredibly beautiful, it lets the reader know exactly what’s in store-mystical plants, sacred magick, and of course knowledge of the Elder Futhark Runes. The book begins with an introduction that feels like chatting with a friend. I found myself giggling and exclaiming “ME TOO!” as well as gasping and whispering “WOW”. Next, Nicole flexes her teaching muscles when she educates us regarding some plant magick basics. From there, she goes on to give us a brief introduction to the Elder Futhark Runes, before taking us on an incredible journey with each rune and its plant-ally counterparts.

The runes are presented according to Aett. Each rune is described in great detail, including pronunciation, which I deeply appreciate. Next, magickal correspondences are listed for each rune. Then we go on to learn mystical and medical properties for each plant associated with the rune.

The book closes with an incredibly thoughtful and generous Runic Formulary in which the author teaches us to formulate plant magicks such as teas, tinctures, and oils to support our workings with the runes. Not only does she supply her own formulas, she arms the reader with the knowledge for creating their own magickal concoctions. Additionally, she supplies readers with a glossary so that new vocabulary is easily accessible.

This is a book I am so excited to recommend to anyone who has an interest in plant and/or rune magick. It’s a fun, informative read that will leave you feeling knowledgeable and confident in your magickal abilities.
