Practical Guide to the Runes: Their Uses in Divination and Magick

Lisa, has spent a good amount of time detailing the metaphysical meaning of each rune, which is very helpful when you need to understand the meaning of them in a rune cast. Another good to have book, which is very handy.

Best book to read about rune's.

Good book...Love it.

Nt up to the mark

Poor quality paper

I found this to be a good introduction to using the runes for divination. It is called a practical guide to the runes and there is not much information about the history of the runes or Norse mythology except that mentioned in the Introduction. The next section discussion making a set of runes, a rune pouch, and rune cloth. The next chapter discusses the runes in divination, where each rune's meaning, both bright-stave (upright) and merk-stave (reverse) is given. One thing the author did was she used the Norse names for many of the runes, but for others, the Anglo-Saxon names. In my opinion, she should have been consistent and used either Norse or Anglo-Saxon, but not both. The controversial blank rune (Wyrd) is discussed first, with the others in the Elder Futhark described in their usual order. The next chapter concerns principals of divination and rune layouts. She describes one-, three-, five-, and seven-rune layouts. I tried out the seven-rune layout concerning an issue I needed guidance about, and I found the result to be spot-on! I couldn't have picked a more insightful runecast! The later chapters discuss runes in magick, making talismans using runescripts and bindrunes, and ritual carving and consecration. Following that are seven appendices and a suggested reading list. This is my go-to rune book and I suggest giving it a read. It may become yours, too!

Great book! Easy to read and follow with lots of info.

This book has everything you need to master the runes. Due to the book size and price i thought it wouldn't have any usefull information, but i was wrong. The book is easy to read, the author is very direct in her words (there's no useless information or words just to fill the pages). I'm glad i bought this book!!!

Es un buen libro para comenzar a usar las runas tanto para adivinación como en hechizos. También es bueno para tenerlo como una referencia rápida.

Praktisches Wissen über Runen in kompakter Form. Bin zufällig auf dieses Buch über Youtube gestossen, ein Buch zum immer wieder nachschlagen. Wer bereits über Runen viel weiss, findet in diesem Buch die Bedeutungen genau am richtigen Platz und wer erst jetzt mit dem Lernen anfängt, kann hier einen guten Start finden. Nur ein Hinweis: die blanke Rune wurde NACTRÄGLICH eingeführt, hat nichts mit den Ursprungen der Runen zu tun. Eine extra Rune hier führt zu keinen neuen Erkenntnissen im wahren Sinne. Trotzdem verdient dieses Buchlein 5 Sterne!
