We had to export God off-planet in order for patriarchy to work.
As long as divinity stayed local--animistic--patriarchy couldn't stick.

How has that trade shown up in your life?

The runes aren't just for personal work.

They're tools for weaving us together. They are living beings meant to engage humanity.

When a community works with the same rune energy, something shifts. We're not just individuals doing our thing—we're creating a shared field of intention.

Think about it:
• Fehu for shared resources
• Gebo for balanced exchange
• Wunjo for collective joy
• Othala for ancestral belonging

This is how we build interdependence. Not as theory, but as lived way of being.

The runes remind us: our healing is connected. Our growth is collective. Our belonging is built, one shared intention at a time.

What rune would you bring to your community right now?

You are the Ancestors.
You are the Descendants.
You are the Earth.
You are the Sky.
You are Everything.

Say it with me. Let it settle in your bones.

It's not poetry. It's truth.

When you feel disconnected, remember: you carry generations within you. You are made of soil and starlight. You belong to this web of life.

Animism starts with this simple recognition, and it's possible to cultivate a spiritual path that carries this recognition through everything you do.

Registration closes 16 December for The Quest Series

Soul Intent Arts - Embodied Soul Tending Through Nature

I’m Kelley Harrell, and I believe we can do better.

I believe we all share the calling to be fit, embodied elders, who upon death become wise, capable Ancestors. To fulfill that calling, we must respond at a soul level. Through actionable animism I teach others to find their unique spiritual paths in support of their quiet dead, healed ancestors, fellow humans, and peaceful coexistence with the spirits of the land they live on.

I’m an author, lifelong deathwalker and animist, and the founder of Soul Intent Arts on traditional Sissipahaw land in North Carolina. As an ordained interfaith minister, I teach others to ethically build a thriving spiritual path. My work is Nature-based, and focuses soul tending through the Elder Futhark runes, animism, ancestral healing, and deathwork.

Elder well, Die well, Ancestor well.
