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.
Nordic Runes introduces readers to a potent and transformative magic system rooted in the ancient wisdom tradition of Northern European cultures. The runes resonate deeply with the pagan Norse world, filled with gods and goddesses, giants, dwarves, warriors, and wizards, elements that have greatly influenced works such as those by J.R.R. Tolkien.
Norse tradition credits the discovery of the runes to the "All-Father" Odin, a god of inspiration and secret wisdom, and the mythical prototype for runecasters, who set the pattern for gaining this hidden knowledge.
Nordic Runes covers three major areas:
Runelore: Delve into the history of this 2000-year-old Norse oracle.
Runestaves: Understand the meaning of the individual runes of the Elder Futhark alphabet and their powerful mythological, magical, and practical lessons for daily life.
Runecasting: Explore a comprehensive guide to the oracular application of the ancient runes, including crafting, divination, and self-development.
As Nordic Runes demonstrates, the runes offer more than a mere reflection of the path of fate; they assist in developing and enhancing intuition. By learning to cast and interpret the runes, users become attuned to the energy currents in material reality, empowering them in the arts of transformation.
This work reveals the symbolism and divinatory significance of the 24 rune "staves" and provides clear instructions on how to craft your own rune stones.
