From the Publisher
Learn about the meaning and power of runes:
Thurisaz
Thurisaz is Thor’s Rune. This is the Rune of the disruptor and the protector. This represents a disruption in the status quo, that which you need to be protective against. Conversely, it is also the Rune that helps you to protect. It is the thorn with which you stab and protect yourself, but it is also the thorn that stabs you.
Hagalaz
Hagalaz literally translates to “hail.” In the eyes of the Norse, and especially those who relied upon crops for sustenance and survival, there may have been no worse adversary than hail. Hagalaz portends delays and disruptions and should ready you for a potentially difficult time ahead. You are, or will be soon, suffering under a force of nature of which you have no control.
Mannaz
Mannaz is the Rune of man, of humanity, of mankind. Named after Mannaz, the “father of the Teutonic peoples,” this Rune is sometimes connected with Heimdall, a member of the Aesir and foremost guardian of Asgard, also known as the “Father of Men.” This is the Rune of the self, yet also the Rune of all humankind, and how our relationship with ourselves is reflected in relationships with others

Runes for Dummies (lol)
Don’t get your skirt ruffled my little snow flakes. You’re not dummies. However, Mr. Simonds lays the very basics out in such a way that those even challenged on reading would be fine to understand. It’s an excellent piece of work and an excellent introduction into a very deep pool

Indepth details
I like how it goes a little indepth of each runes and they backstory and what they represent individual and as a bindrune.

A wonderful introduction to the Runes
If you are looking for a great book to get your feet wet, so to speak, this is a wonderful place to start. I have utilized the Runes since the early 80’s and have collected any and all volumes on the subject. Whilst they all contain mostly the same thing, every once in a while I find a book that throws a little bit of its own spin. This is such a book. I found it an easy read, though I would have liked just a bit more mythology in here. That being said, I am a voracious fan of mythology and too much would be a distraction for the beginning Runester. So to fill the niche that this book is targeting, it has the right amount. I found the prose not dry and academic, but instead a personal dissertation of one’s own experience in working with the Runes. This was refreshing to me as there are too many books on this subject that just seem dead. This author has captured his personal journey and I was quite pleased to see similar experiences akin to my own. Do I recommend this book? I ABSOLUTELY recommend it.

Good info, a little preachy
This book is full of all the information you could need or want about runes. It gives history, types of divination and more. I’m glad I picked this one as my first book to learn about this topic, but it does have a downside. Although this book offers everything I was looking for it was also preaching about the norse religion. Spoiler: runes came from odin in norse mythology, and because of this the author gets a little preachy about thanking Odin, leaving offerings for him and summoning his presence/blessing by chanting his name. I don’t follow the norse gods, so this was a little off putting, but the rest of the book has great info. I can look past that for the rest of the information, but if you have a hard time ciphering out the information you’re looking for then this may not be the book for you.

Very informative
He Made understanding the runes incredibly easy and he also put in extra information from how to pronounce them, their meanings, history and stories/legends they have come from. He also includes how to use them in changing or inscribing magic.Overall I found it very helpful as someone who barely knew anything about the runes besides them being Nordic and a form of divination.

One of the best books about Runes I’ve read, incredibly detailed. It gives the history, the mythology and story behind runes as well as in depth look at each rune, it’s meaning, various interpretations and how to use each one. Plus a story for how each rune appeared in mythology. A really brilliant guide for beginners ð
