Master this Historic and Powerful Divinatory System
Step-By-Step, Rune by Rune
First presented by famed occultist Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki, the Witches' Runes, aka Stones O'Leary, are a set of ten marked stones that have traveled the world by way of occult teachers and students. Now, for the first time ever, this obscure system of divination is presented in its original form for a general audience.
Josephine Winter and Jason Tremain present each rune in its own in-depth chapter along with meditations and journal prompts. Josephine and Jason encourage you to explore each rune's traditional meaning and how it connects with you on a personal level. You will also learn how to create your own Witches' Runes and interpret the symbol combinations. Much simpler than tarot or the Elder Futhark runes, anyone can pick up this system and find that the future is just a stone's throw away.
Author Biography
Josephine Winter has been a witch of some flavour for most of her life, beginning in Norse-inspired Heathenry and later the Alexandrian tradition of Wicca. She holds degrees in education, literature, and the arts. Over the last few decades, she has been a regular volunteer and organiser at various Pagan and witchy events around Australia. More recently, she became a cofounder of Lepus Lumen, a teaching collective of covens, outercourts, and solo practitioners. She lives in country Victoria, in Australia's leafy southeast.
Jason Tremain is an Australian musician, teacher, and writer whose work explores the meeting points of music, ritual, and animism. An initiate of Alexandrian Witchcraft, he has taught and presented on witchcraft, occult traditions, and musicology, bringing together research and lived practice. His writing reflects a deep interest in creativity, tradition, and the ways people find meaning in the natural world.
Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki (1929-2026) was one of the most respected and experienced esoteric practitioners at work in the British Isles. She was born and lived in Channel Island of Jersey off the coast of France. She was trained in the Fraternity of the Inner Light and worked as a Cosmic Mediator with Walter Ernest, the Grand Maistre of British Occultism. Dolores was a third degree adept and Qabbalist.
She not only taught the Craft but was also the director of the Servants of the Light, a Hermetic order descended from Dion Fortune's Society of the Inner Light. She traveled extensively, teaching a wide range of occult subjects to pupils in both the UK and United States.
