Synopsis

A popular in-depth exploration of the runes, reissued with a new chapter on rune divination, now part of the Weiser Classics series.

Diana Paxson has distilled her years of experience working with the runes and teaching others into this one definitive sourcework. In a series of chapters dealing with rune pairs, readers will learn the historical meaning of each individual rune and its use and meaning now, in contemporary culture. But as Paxson shares, the real power of the runes comes from internalizing them and using their symbols as sources of wisdom and strength.

At the end of each chapter introducing and exploring the pairs of runes are rituals and spells for all levels of ability that help internalize the attributions, meanings, symbolism, and use of the runes. Further study in part two of the book expands the use of the runes in divination, guided meditations, and song. Everything regarding runes is covered in this definitive guide, from the history of runes and how to make your own rune sets to how to work with them on a psychic, spiritual, and magical level.

Goodreads review by Carrie on March 03, 2021

One of the best rune teaching books I've read, and I've read quite a few. Each rune is dealt with inividually and one of the things I liked the most was that she sited other author's interpretations (many of whom's books I already have read) of each rune right along side her own. She also sites all......more
