Theme Week: 🌙 Between the Cards and the Covers
A week of curious dives into the mind–body–spirit shelf
Every so often, I get the urge to clear a little space - on the bookshelf, the tarot table, maybe even in my head - and explore the books and decks that sit somewhere between self-discovery and the supernatural. This week, I’m doing exactly that.
Between the Cards and the Covers is a week dedicated to the mind–body–spirit corner of the reading world - the nonfiction that teaches us how to read the cards, the oracles that whisper in stone and starlight, and the quiet intersection between study and intuition.
I’ll be looking at titles like Hebrew Casting Lots and The Big Book of Tarot Symbols - perfect for readers who love their archetypes neatly labelled - alongside a new oracle deck, The Unicorn Path and a guide to crystal geology, Songs of the Stones. Expect musings, experiments, and probably one or two “aha” moments that will send me rearranging my tarot shelf again.
So grab your journal, light a candle, and join me for a week of thoughtful page-turning and card-pulling - where the lessons of tarot meet the practice of reading, and maybe (just maybe) the mind, body, and spirit get a little more in sync.
✨ Books that teach, decks that speak - let’s see what the MBS shelf has to say.

Nordic Runes by Paul Rhys Mountfort
A comprehensive and practical guide to the ancient oracle based on the runic alphabet of the Norse
• Reveals the symbolism and divinatory significance of the 24 rune "staves"
• Provides clear instructions on how to craft your own rune stones
• Explains the role of runes in the Norse wisdom tradition and its influence on such works as Tolkien's Lord of the Rings
Nordic runes are a potent and profoundly transformative magic system that gives contemporary readers access to the ancient wisdom tradition of Northern European cultures. The runes have deep resonances within the pagan Norse world of gods and goddesses, giants, dwarves, warriors, and wizards, which have greatly influenced the work of J.R.R. Tolkien, among others. Norse tradition attributes the discovery of the runes to the "All-Father" Odin--a god of inspiration and secret wisdom and the mythical prototype for runecasters, who established the pattern for gaining his knowledge.
Nordic Runes addresses three major areas: Runelore, the history of this 2000-year-old Norse oracle; Runestaves, the meaning of the individual runes of the Elder Futhark alphabet and their powerful mythological, magical, and practical lessons for daily life; and Runecasting, a comprehensive guide to the oracular application of the ancient runes, including their crafting, divination, and self-development. As Nordic Runes shows, the runes do more than simply reflect the path of fate; they help develop and enhance intuition. By learning to cast and interpret the runes, the user becomes receptive to the energy currents in material reality and empowered in the arts of its transformation.
