Who it is for
- Students who know the Elder Futhark and can use simple layouts
- Readers developing multi-rune synthesis and live communication
- Foundation-certified applicants preparing for the professional skills assessment
What you will be able to do
- Select and explain a casting or layout method suited to the question
- Record position, direction, and combinations so a case can be reviewed
- Separate source grounds, reasonable inference, and unsupported speculation
- Complete an advanced reading that responds clearly to feedback
Syllabus
Question, method, and record
Choose drawing, casting, or positional layout according to scope and define the recording and interpretation rules in advance.
Question scope · Method selection · Prior rules · Casting record
Position, direction, and salience
Work with centre and edge, clustering and separation, direction and contact without changing rules to chase a conclusion.
Spatial position · Direction · Clusters · Consistent rules
Multi-rune synthesis
Build a whole interpretation from themes, tension, change, and missing information so the combination answers the question.
Shared themes · Tension · Development · Missing information
Layers of inference and expression
State what was observed, what sources support it, how the inference was made, and what remains uncertain.
Observation · Sources · Inference · Confidence limits
Difficult cases and live feedback
Respond to conflicting information, disagreement, repeated questions, and requests beyond the service boundary.
Conflicting information · Feedback · Repetition · Stopping criteria
Video cases and skills preparation
Analyse complete cases, submit a recorded process, and use one framework to review and revise the work.
Case video · Process submission · Structured review · Skills assessment
