The Witch’s Familiar Runic Oracle brings together two powerful forms of magical symbolism: the ancient Elder Futhark runes and the wisdom of animal familiars.

The deck contains 24 cards, with each card featuring one of the Elder Futhark runes alongside a carefully chosen animal companion. Owls, ravens, snakes and other magical creatures appear throughout the deck, with each animal reflecting qualities and energies associated with its corresponding rune.

The compact deck can be used for daily divination, intuitive readings, spellwork, rituals and ceremonies. You might draw a card for guidance at the beginning of the day, use the runic symbolism when setting an intention, or incorporate the cards into your existing rune or Witchcraft practice.

The accompanying guidebook introduces the featured runes and provides interpretations to help you understand the messages and symbolism within each card.

Its pocket-sized format also makes it particularly convenient for taking your divination practice with you wherever you go.

About the Creator

Athene Noctua is the author and creator of The Witch’s Familiar Runic Oracle. The name itself has an appropriately magical connection — Athene noctua is the scientific name for the Little Owl, making the owl an especially fitting symbol for a deck combining Witchcraft, wisdom, animal companions and runic tradition.
