The Rune Goon
I write this a few nights before this entry will actually be published. We are winding down from packing and getting ready for a trip to New York City with our kid. As I talk to Josh about what I should write about, he mentions that I haven’t written a blog about him, and I suppose that’s true. I haven’t really mentioned how he stepped into his ability as a Rune reader.
For quite a while, he stayed away from anything seriously esoteric as well as he could. He would sometimes participate in my home seasonal ceremonies, and I would tell him that he was a powerful person. It’s not an empty platitude. He’s like a big battery. He would also pick up on ransom threads of fate, like telling me randomly that I would get a job offer a half a year later at a local candle factory. He would sometimes pick up on information that he shouldn’t necessarily know about people. He had a knack for being psychic.
It wasn’t until he made a personal pact with the Universe at a local Abenaki healing springs (seriously… look up Brunswick Springs) that things began to really unfold for him. He learned Rune divination and magic from a psychic friend (Sali Crow, medium extraordinaire and witchy author), while connecting to his ancestors buried in nearby cemeteries. Looking back on it, it was all kind of like a bizarre movie. Connecting to his Pequot Great Great Grandmother as a spirit guide, finding that the Runes and Norse mythology really resonated with him, and being open about his experience and gifts made life a little bit of a rollercoaster. Everything happened all at once last summer, and he really stepped into his power.
I don’t really remember when he decided to start doing Rune readings publicly. I do remember his “I’m So Witty” grin when he figured out the perfect name for his Rune reading persona: The Rune Goon. I don’t think many could pull off a moniker like that, but he does.
As he explored his gift, we began to realize how our work complemented each other. His readings uncover a lot, and expose people to life truths that they may or may not want to face. That’s when it’s best to send them off to me to do some work in assimilating information, calming, and centering. That’s why we often offer dual sessions. See Josh. Get a good cry in. See me. Leave feeling good.
I guess there isn’t much else to say, besides to encourage you to go and check out his Facebook page. He posts the Rune that he pulls everyday. If you’re interested in learning more about Runes, or getting a reading, he’s the guy you’re looking for.
I should stop now and get some rest. Tomorrow is a long train ride to NYC with my family. I’ll be on the lookout for something interesting to share while I’m down there. Who knows what I’ll find.
Until next week
