RUNES provides a thorough examination of the Norse runes. It will enable a beginner to delve effectively into their usage, at the same time as challenging the experienced rune-worker to better and deepen his or her understanding of these mysteries. RUNES begins with an explication of the story of Odin, the Norse god who won the runes by sacrificing himself on the World Tree. It continues by examining each of the individual runes in turn, both the Elder Futhark and the lesser-known Anglo-Saxon Futhorc. Each rune is studied not only from a historical viewpoint, but, also, from the perspective of a modern practitioner. You will be introduced to the practice of galdr, the proper way to sacrifice to the runes, their magical usage and the art of reading for divination. Most importantly, RUNES specifically addresses the runes as living spirits and provides guidance on developing a working relationship with these otherworldly allies.
