Josephine Winter has been a witch of some flavour for most of her life, beginning in Norse-inspired Heathenry and later the Alexandrian tradition of Wicca. She holds degrees in education, literature, and the arts. Over the last few decades, she has been a regular volunteer and organiser at various Pagan and witchy events around Australia. More recently, she became a cofounder of Lepus Lumen, a teaching collective of covens, outercourts, and solo practitioners. She lives in country Victoria, in Australia's leafy southeast.

Jason Tremain is an Australian musician, teacher, and writer whose work explores the meeting points of music, ritual, and animism. An initiate of Alexandrian Witchcraft, he has taught and presented on witchcraft, occult traditions, and musicology, bringing together research and lived practice. His writing reflects a deep interest in creativity, tradition, and the ways people find meaning in the natural world.

Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki (1929-2026) was one of the most respected and experienced esoteric practitioners at work in the British Isles. She was born and lived in Channel Island of Jersey off the coast of France. She was trained in the Fraternity of the Inner Light and worked as a Cosmic Mediator with Walter Ernest, the Grand Maistre of British Occultism. Dolores was a third degree adept and Qabbalist.

She not only taught the Craft but was also the director of the Servants of the Light, a Hermetic order descended from Dion Fortune's Society of the Inner Light. She traveled extensively, teaching a wide range of occult subjects to pupils in both the UK and United States.

"A wonderful book that opens the door to a mysterious, almost forgotten system, which has lasted through the ages and deserves to be better known."
--Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki, author of Highways of the Mind, The Sacred Cord Meditations, and others

"The Witches' Runes teaches a versatile and deceptively simple divination system. Readers will find practical, down-to-earth answers to their questions in these pages, as Tremain and Winter present a modern take on a form of divination uniquely suited to a witch's needs."
--Jack Chanek, author of Tarot for the Magically Inclined

"The Witches' Runes is an accessible, practical, working guide for learning a unique system of divination. Tremain and Winter lay out history, folklore, myth, and magic to help the would-be Witches' Runes diviner become intimate with these special stones. This unique and elegant system is given a home in these pages and many will find sustenance and inspiration here. A magical guide to mysterious symbols that will offer clarity, power, and meaning."
--Fio Gede Parma, author of Ecstatic Witchcraft and The Witch Belongs to the World

"The Witches' Runes by Jason Tremain and Josephine Winter is nothing short of a triumph! This is an authentic and inspiring work dedicated to a rare and powerful divination system rooted in the lore and praxis of magic and Witchcraft. Within these pages, the authors uncover a seldom-seen method of magical meaning-making! Not only rare but one that honors and expands upon the work of luminaries such as Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki, Gardnerian High Priestess Patricia Crowther, and Australian Craft pioneer Simon Goodman. I found this book to be much more than a manual. This book is a living, breathing invitation into the ongoing practice of uncovering the mystery of the Witches' Runes. Tremain and Winter guide the reader through every facet of the stones from creation to maintenance and symbolism...Their words don't just inform; they activate the unseen, carrying forward sacred threads of witch-lore into their own practice. An indispensable, spirited, and wholly magical resource!"
