Hey everyone. Welcome back to Seeking Witchcraft. I'm your host, Ashley, and today I have on a special co-host, Wayne Brecky, author of The Complete Guide to Rooms. Welcome, Wayne to the show. Can you tell the listeners a bit about yourself? Well, yes. Hey, thanks for having me on today.

Of course. Yeah, Wayne Brecky is the name, and I'm a Roon reader a rune reader, a runever, I also call it.

And so the runes that I use are called the Elder Futhark,
