Runes: Theory and Practice - Krasskova, Galina

Clean, tight, unmarked; small crease to upper front inside corner; small scrape to back inside edge of dust jacket; otherwise very minimal wear; appears unread; This book will enable a beginner to effectively use the Norse runes, but will also challenge the experienced rune-worker to deepen his or her understanding of these mysteries. The book begins with an explication of the story of Odin, the Norse God who won the runes by sacrificing Himself on the World Tree. It continues by examining each of the individual runes in turn, both the Elder Futhark and the lesser known Anglo-Saxon Futhorc. Each rune is studied not only from a historical viewpoint, but also from the perspective of a modern practitioner. You will be introduced to the practice of galdr, the proper way to sacrifice to the runes, their magical usage, and the art of reading for divination. Most importantly, this book specifically addresses the runes as living spirits and provides guidance on developing a working relationship with these otherworldly allies.
