Tyriel (James Stratton-Crawley) is taking down RuneSecrets.com and integrating the Runes into the rest of my productions here at Electric Skullmeat Collective. Read on, my friends!
I have your book. And I have bought a copy for a friend, but I don’t have your book right next to me. Right when this rune appeared in my mind. And I know the rune. But when I read the words new or deeper meanings appear. I liked that.
I just found out last week that you took your site down and I’m so sad, they were the most accurate descriptions of runes according to my spirit guides, who led me to your site in 2021. I don’t have the means to purchase your book atm, as I’m currently unemployed and broke, but I’ll just continue looking at your notes on the way back machine, which I did happen to find your notes on still until I can purchase your book.
I have no problem purchasing both your books, they’re well worth it. I was wondering where I could find your old article, about practices that will increase your magic? That was such a good one.
I feel a bit of nostalgic sorrow that you'll be taking down the site as it helped me learn the runes (along with sunnyway). Perhaps you could post the site on the Internet Wayback Machine. But I can understand wanting to move away from old, outdated work--I feel the same about the work I wrote as a young journalist. Given the current issue with Diana Paxson's works, I'm due for a new rune book anyway, so this is a great reminder/prompt to order your book! I'll be doing so later today. Thanks Tyriel :)
Hi Oliver, nice to see you. If you're the Oliver whose name I am familiar with, it's nice to see you around. I would think that the internet archive already has copies of Rune Secrets from various years, as it takes snapshots automatically, no need to submit.
What is the current issue with Diana Paxson's work? I haven't graced those pages in a long, long time. Has she succumbed to the pressures of tribalism?
When you get the book, get in touch. I'd be happy to assist you through it in any way. I used to charge $200 USD for consultation, but if anyone can show me they're doing the work and putting the time into QTR, I'd be happy to help in any way I could, as a fellow human being.
I have ordered the book and it will arrive by Friday. :) I will be taking a three week vacation in June, so I'll get in touch when I get back! Thank you for the generous offer. In return, I can offer you the early access version of a game I made using the runes as a game mechanic (please feel free to grab it--no need to pay! As a thanks for your help.). It's early access for now as I wanted to hit the deadline for the Trans Oracular Jam. I intend to make the pretty, artistic version once I return from Europe.
I am James. Hi! I use, as many writers do, a pen name when writing other genres or topics from their mainstay. My pen name for the runes is Tyriel. Tyriel has forever been the name I used when dealing with the runes.
Thank you for stopping by. I don’t think you read the message, nor do I believe you’ve read my books. You definitely do not need to waste your time here.

Thank you Jessica. I tried to pour my heart and soul into the meanings I explored. I will be here while you too discover what you can within them.

I recommend Questioning the Runes. It is my Opus and it will serve you well. Good luck out there!
Thank you!! I’ll check it out ❤️

Hey! :D Nice to see you too. I might be the same Oliver? We used to chat a bit on Discord when I was more active on your server.
Makes sense! Good to know.
In the Troth, the whistle was blown that Diana had made some very ethically dubious comments about child sexual abuse that was happening around her in a high profile case. The Wild Hunt wrote about it here: https://wildhunt.org/2024/05/the-troth-suspends-diana-paxson-from-duties.html

Oh neat! Did you remember I did video game music with Richard Garriott and other MMORPG game devs? I have big plans ;)
Oh no... it was so helpful to have your website to check the rune meanings online at any time.
I'll check how I can order a book
Happy trails, James

Anything else confusing? :)
