An accessible, in-depth exploration of the runes as a living spiritual tradition.

Taking Up the Runes by Diana Paxson distils her many years of experience working with the runes into this essential source book. Readers will learn the historical meaning of each individual rune and its use and significance in contemporary culture.

But, as Paxson reveals, the real power of the runes comes from internalising them and using their symbols as sources of wisdom and power. At the end of each chapter, there are rituals and spells for all levels of ability that aim to help internalise the attributions, meanings, symbolism, and use of the runes.

Everything regarding runes is covered in this definitive workbook, 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.
