This book is about the magical alphabet of the North European peoples – its background, history, use in ritual and divination, and its meaning. The runes are fully integrated into modern Western occult practice. A fascinating ritual method is presented which clearly shows how a rune ritual may be patterned.
Complete meanings of all runes and their use in magic. A detailed analysis for all existing runes is provided, along with the origin of the various rune alphabets, how the runes were used in ancient times by European rune masters, and the mythological context in which the runes arose. This is the first book to recreate the actual method of rune magic from the fragments that describe it in ancient Norse sagas, rune poems, and folklore. The modern use of runes for astral projection, scrying, divination and practical ritual magic is presented.
