Synopsis
A comprehensive and practical guide to the ancient oracle based on the runic alphabet of the Norse - Reveals the symbolism and divinatory significance of the 24 rune "staves" - Provides clear instructions on how to craft your own rune stones - Explains the role of runes in the Norse wisdom tradition and its influence on such works as Tolkien's Lord of the Rings Nordic runes are a potent and profoundly transformative magic system that gives contemporary readers access to the ancient wisdom tradition of Northern European cultures. The runes have deep resonances within the pagan Norse world of gods and goddesses, giants, dwarves, warriors, and wizards, which have greatly influenced the work of J.R.R. Tolkien, among others. Norse tradition attributes the discovery of the runes to the "All-Father" Odin--a god of inspiration and secret wisdom and the mythical prototype for runecasters, who established the pattern for gaining his knowledge. Nordic Runes addresses three major areas: Runelore, the history of this 2000-year-old Norse oracle; Runestaves, the meaning of the individual runes of the Elder Futhark alphabet and their powerful mythological, magical, and practical lessons for daily life; and Runecasting, a comprehensive guide to the oracular application of the ancient runes, including their crafting, divination, and self-development. As Nordic Runes shows, the runes do more than simply reflect the path of fate; they help develop and enhance intuition. By learning to cast and interpret the runes, the user becomes receptive to the energy currents in material reality and empowered in the arts of its transformation., A comprehensive and practical guide to the ancient oracle based on the runic alphabet of the Norse * Reveals the symbolism and divinatory significance of the 24 rune "staves" * Provides clear instructions on how to craft your own rune stones * Explains the role of runes in the Norse wisdom tradition and its influence on such works as Tolkien's Lord of the Rings Nordic runes are a potent and profoundly transformative magic system that gives contemporary readers access to the ancient wisdom tradition of Northern European cultures.

  • Use with your runes

    I got my first set of runes(and only) as I felt drawn to them. After purchasing them this book popped up as a good companion to have, so I purchased it. Turns out the runes I bought were the ones referred to in the book! This book is great as it goes into some history of the runes and their use. I would recommend this book as it isn't over your head it is simple to understand. Makes it easy to enjoy your runes! Oh and the last question about whether or not it is compelling well that depends on your definition, it isn't an action adventure. However it does attend the subject matter.
