Alu, an Advanced Guide to Operative Runology

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Alu, an Advanced Guide to Operative Runology offers completely new and fresh descriptions of all the individual runes based on traditional sources, rune poems, and Old Norse literature. Authored by Edred Thorsson, one of the most respected runic scholars living today, this book is a follow-up to his classic, Futhark, and it breaks new ground by applying current scientific theories on how magic works in traditional societies to the world of practical magic.

Thorsson synthesises the old and the new, the scholarly and the practical, and brings the use of runes in magical work to a new level in Alu, an Advanced Guide to Operative Runology. The book contains:

  • Practical magic
  • Divination practices
  • New techniques and methods
  • Guidance on how modern English can be used in the creation of runic writings
