The Rune Book is the culmination of years of researching and working with runes. The book was written with the practicing heathen in mind, but the knowledge contained within will be of use to anyone who seeks to know the mysteries of the runes. The authors go back to the existing primary sources on the runes, and they explore what is contained in these manuscripts in the context of the heathen belief system in which they were formed. Evidence from the original sources is expanded through the use of comparative linguistics, history, runology, and archaeology in order to get a firmer grasp of the concepts that lie behind the runes themselves. The Rune Book has a firm basis in academic study, as evidenced by its extensive bibliography; however, its real strength is the working knowledge of our faith that further informs the authors. It is this understanding that the authors have sought to share with the publication of The Rune Book, and it is certain to bring about a better understanding of the runes for those who read it.

All levels and informative
This book right here brought a fresh perspective on the way i look at runes. It is well thought out and researched with sources listed in the book. I really enjoyed how the book made sure to emphasize the runes relationship with our ancestors and how they viewed the runes. Each rune is broken down in detail and explains each runes relation to the others. It has the different rune poems in the back along with rune charms. It was an easy, understandable read that would be good for beginners and serve as a good reference guide for experienced rune users. Can read in one sitting ð

Lots of information
Contains a lot of information, seems telling of what Wodenâs Folks ideals are. The print is pretty large and very easy to read. All the sources are well cited, making additional research quite convenient.

Easy to understand.
Very productive and much needed knowledge. Especially since it is written in terms and a mindset of a Kinsman. Must have for any level of Odinist!

Written for all levels to grasp
This is a really good book for anyone who wants to learn about and understand the runes. Itâs a better book for anyone who wants to learn how to use the runes as a part of their faith. There are lots of references to the uses of the runes and their mentions in ancient lore, and these are documented so that you can look them up for yourself. The book lays out the sources that we have for historical evidence of the runes and their uses, and then it goes beyond that by showing how you can gain a better understanding of the runes for ritual and divinatory purposes. The authors really put a lot of thought into this, and it explains things in a way that doesnât seem phony or forced. The original illustrations in the book are a really nice touch as well, and they can help with a visual focus on different aspects of the runes. The discussion of runic divination is one of the best out there, and the appendixes with the rune poems and rune charms are something that most other rune books lack. If you want to learn the runes, read this book.

I love the hard cover edition!
I love the hard cover edition! Binding is tight; the cover is thick and has a glossy exterior. The interior font type and size is really nice. Easy to read.
