Nordic Runes: Understanding, Casting, and Interpreting the Ancient Viking Oracle

This provides a wonderful historical and mythological background for runes. It makes for an excellent accompaniment to a practical guide on how to use runes. I love how passionate the author's narration is, it makes this so much fun to read!! It has really taught me of the beauty behind runes as beacons of light that can help me find self enlightenment. All runes, no matter how negative- emphasize how there is renewal and rebirth after disaster ^^ LOVE IT FIVE STARS

This book arrived before expected, and it fills everything I was looking for, as it's a great reference book and explains not just the runes but some Norse mythology as well.

I found it really informative and helpful. It helps to understand the origin and background of runes, their individual meanings and castings. It's really entertaining to read, not draining at all. I highly recommend getting it if you're just getting yourself familiar with nordic runes.

Author has written a clear explanation of his approach to reading the runes which is easy to understand and appears to be a simple and easy to use method. Also makes a reasonably sensible interpretation of the available source material. Fairly matter of fact and pleasantly lacking in the propaganda for a particular world view or pagan faction which is usually present in this sort of book

Best book of runes I have ever read, instructive and eloquently written, in more than simply rune lore but also history of many cultural religious material, has become my foremost book on the subject and holds pride of place in my library, my compliments to the author!

I love this book. There is ample background to get you acquainted with the runes, where they come from and the ways in which they work. Each rune is discussed in detail, with reference to old Rune Poetry, runelore, folklore, meanings, spreads and examples. I'd thoroughly recommend for both beginners and those who wish to further their understanding of the runes a little more.

Wow. This book is the best! In depth, lots of detail and gives context. Gives you enough information for you to add your own interpretation. I’m really into runes and have read lots of books on the subject. This adds lots to my library. A must have!

Love this book. I bought it to learn how to read runes but it is so full of interesting subjects, history and saga's and nordic myths its a fascinating read .
