Queering the Runes is a love letter to the runes, the gods, and the people who follow the Nordic path. The author presents an alternative approach to the runes, one that creates a gentle container for those who want to follow this heathen path. Based on the author's personal gnosis, as well as deep academic research on runes and Nordic culture, this book is an invitation into the root culture of the runes, both in terms of myth and in terms of lived, real folkloric experience.

Siri Vincent Plouff presents the traditional meanings of the runes, then helps the listener to queer the runes in their own way. Included is the lore associated with each rune, exercises to apply them to modern life, activities to engage with the rune (layouts, castings, and galdr), and how to use the runes for divination. Throughout, the author provides journal prompts meant to help the listener channel the energy of specific runes, to get to know their energy, as well as to use the runes to help them move forward in a journey of self-discovery.
Queering the Runes seeks to blow open perceptions of the runes. Exploring them as active, living symbols available to all, as well as the inherent connection with ancestral magic that comes with rune work.
