The Rune & Rose Sanctuary

Let’s do something slightly different today. ✨

Take a moment.

Think about something that’s been sitting in your mind lately.

Not necessarily a huge question — just something you’d like a little guidance around.

Then choose:

1 • 2 • 3

Don’t overthink it.

Go with whichever number catches you first.

I’ll pop the Rune messages into the comments later. 🖤

Sometimes the smallest moment of intuition tells us more than we realise.

Tarot or Runes?

Tarot and Runes can both offer guidance, but they speak in very different ways.

Tarot often unfolds like a story.

There are images, characters, symbols, emotions and layers to explore.

Runes tend to feel much more stripped back.

A symbol.

A meaning.

An energy.

And sometimes a message that lands with absolutely no messing about. 😂

That’s one of the reasons I love working with both.

Sometimes you need the detail.

Sometimes you need the straight answer.

And sometimes combining intuition with an ancient symbol gives you exactly the perspective you couldn’t quite see for yourself.

If you normally choose Tarot, would you ever be curious enough to try Runes instead? 🌹

Ever Been Curious About Runes?

You’ve probably seen Tarot cards.

You may even have had a Tarot reading before.

But Runes? They can still feel a little mysterious. ✨

Runes are an ancient form of divination, traditionally used for guidance, insight and reflection.

Rather than giving you a long story like Tarot sometimes can, they can be wonderfully direct.

They can highlight:

🌹 What energy is surrounding you
🌹 What may be influencing a situation
🌹 What you’re being encouraged to notice
🌹 Where something may be blocked
🌹 And what could help you move forward

Sometimes one tiny symbol can say an awful lot.

This week I’m going to be sharing a little more about Runes, how I work with them and why I absolutely love reading them.

So tell me…

Have you ever had a Rune reading before? 🖤

🌹 What Are You Already Being Nudged Towards?

Sometimes intuition doesn't arrive as a huge revelation.

Sometimes it's simply that little thought that keeps coming back.

The idea you can't quite shake.
The conversation you feel you need to have.
The place you keep thinking about visiting.
The opportunity you're curious about.
The change you've been quietly considering.
The thing you keep saying “one day” about.
We often wait for a massive sign before we trust ourselves, when the signs may have been there all along.

Your intuition doesn't always shout.
Sometimes it nudges.
Then nudges again.
And again...
Until eventually you pay attention. 🌹

So today, instead of asking yourself “What should I do?”, try asking:

What am I already being nudged towards?

Don't overthink the answer. Notice what came into your mind first.
You don't have to act on it today.
You don't need to know where it will lead.
Just acknowledge it.

Because sometimes the next step has been quietly waiting for you to notice it all along. ✨

🌹 Behind the Scenes at The Rune & Rose Sanctuary 🌹

Have you ever wondered what actually happens when you book a reading with me? 🌹

Every reading begins before I even touch the cards or Runes.

First, I take a little time to think about the person I'm reading for and tune into their energy.

From there, I prepare my space.
I intuitively choose the crystals that I'm drawn towards for that particular reading and cleanse both my space and the tools I'll be working with. No two setups are exactly the same because I allow the reading — and the person it's for — to guide me.

Then it's time for the reading itself. 🔮
I don't work with a rigid “you've paid for X cards, so you get X cards” approach.
Instead, I intuitively select the number of cards or Runes I feel are needed depending on the depth of the reading and what begins to unfold.

Sometimes that's a few.
Sometimes they clearly have a lot to say. 😂

I also record a video of me physically casting your Runes or pulling your cards, so you get to see that part of your reading for yourself. 💜

Once everything has been cast or drawn, I take my time interpreting the messages, looking at how the individual Runes or cards connect with one another and building the bigger picture of your reading.

Then comes the part you don't normally see...

I write everything up into your own personalised little reading booklet, adding additional photographs where they're helpful.
Your booklet is then emailed directly to you, giving you something you can keep, revisit and reflect on whenever you want.

Because for me, a reading isn't something I want to rush through.
It's your reading.
Your energy.
Your messages.
Your guidance.

And I want the whole experience to feel personal from the moment I begin preparing my space to the moment your reading arrives in your inbox. 🌹

One of the things I've had to learn is the difference between my intuition speaking... and my brain just overthinking absolutely everything. 🤣

And they can feel very similar at first.
For me, intuition tends to arrive quietly and quickly.

It's that first little knowing.
A feeling.
A pull towards something.
Sometimes it's simply “this feels right” before I've even worked out why.

Overthinking comes afterwards.
That's the bit that starts asking...
But what if...?

Have I got this completely wrong?
Should I wait?
What will everyone else think?

Maybe I should analyse this from another 47 different angles first... 😂

I've found that the more I work with my Runes and cards, the more I've learned to recognise that difference.

My intuition doesn't usually give me a twenty-minute presentation explaining its reasoning.
It gives me the nudge.

My brain writes the PowerPoint afterwards. 🤣

So if you're trying to reconnect with your own intuition, try noticing what came before all the thinking started.

What was your very first feeling?
You don't have to blindly follow every instinct you have — but sometimes it's worth listening before your logical mind gets a chance to drown it out. 🌹

And if you're feeling drawn towards a reading but have absolutely no idea which one to choose, don't overthink that either. 💜

✨ Rune Reading — great when you're looking for direct guidance around a situation, the energies surrounding you or the path ahead.

🃏 Tarot Reading — ideal when you'd like to explore something in more depth, uncover different influences and gain a fuller picture of what's going on.

🌙 Oracle Reading — a gentler, more intuitive style of guidance when you're looking for reflection, reassurance or a message around where you are right now.

There isn't a “right” one you have to choose.
Sometimes you'll simply feel drawn to one.
And perhaps that's your intuition answering the question for you. 😉🌹

🌹 Trusting Your Intuition

Have you ever known something before you could explain how you knew it?

That quiet feeling that something isn't quite right.
The sudden pull towards something you hadn't considered.
A person or opportunity that keeps coming back into your mind.
That little voice saying this way... while your logical brain is busy producing seventeen reasons why you shouldn't. 😅

Intuition isn't always loud or dramatic.

Quite often, it's the quietest voice in the room.
The difficulty comes when we've spent so long questioning ourselves, looking for reassurance or worrying about making the wrong decision that we stop recognising that voice altogether.

This week, pay attention to the little nudges.
✨ What keeps coming back to you?
✨ What feels right before you start analysing it?
✨ Where does your body soften rather than tense?
✨ What are you repeatedly being drawn towards?

You don't have to act on every feeling.
Just start noticing.
Because learning to trust your intuition often begins with learning how your intuition speaks to you. 🌹

And if you're looking for a little extra clarity, The Rune & Rose Sanctuary offers:
