The Witch's Familiar Runic Oracle Cards

A 24‑card deck & 51‑page guidebook by Athene Noctua – now at AngelShop.ie

Overview & Theme

Step into the twilight forest where elder runes join forces with animal allies. Each of the 24 cards pairs a symbol from the Elder Futhark with a “witch’s familiar” whose instincts echo the rune’s power—raven for ᚲ (Kenaz, illumination), stag for ᛟ (Othala, ancestry), and so on. Athene Noctua’s delicate, ink‑and‑watercolour artwork keeps the imagery clear for quick readings while inviting deeper meditation on myth and nature. Published in pocket forma, the deck fits easily into a ritual pouch or jacket pocket, making runic wisdom truly travel‑sized.

What’s Inside the Box

• 24 full‑colour cards on sturdy matte stock (approx. 7.6 × 10 cm)

  • Upright and shadow meanings for every rune‑animal pair

  • Keywords, pronunciations, and lore from Nordic myth

  • Two exclusive spreads—“The Familiar’s Footsteps” (3‑card) and “Runic Compass” (5‑card)

New to Oracle or Runes? A Quick Primer

Oracle vs. Tarot – Tarot follows a fixed 78‑card structure, while oracle decks are free‑form. Creators choose their own themes, number of cards, and symbols, so each oracle deck offers a fresh doorway into intuition.

Why work with oracle cards? – They shine in one‑card daily draws, lunar rituals, journaling prompts, or quick clarity when life feels tangled. With imagery and keywords instead of rigid suits, beginners often find oracle decks wonderfully approachable.

Runic magic in focus – The Elder Futhark alphabet dates back over 1,600 years. Runes were carved on weapons, jewellery, and standing stones for protection, prosperity, or guidance. Blending these symbols with animal familiars—as Athene Noctua does—adds a visceral, nature‑rooted layer to your readings.
