An accessible, in-depth exploration of the runes as a living spiritual tradition. Diana Paxson has distilled her many years of experience working with the runes into this essential source book. Readers will learn the historical meaning of each individual rune and its use and meaning now, in contemporary culture. But, Paxson reveals, the real power of the runes comes from internalizing them and using their symbols as sources of wisdom and power. At the end of each chapter are rituals and spells for all levels of ability that aim to help internalize the attributions, meanings, symbolism, and use of the runes. Everything regarding runes is covered in this definitive workbook, from the history of runes and how to make your own rune sets, to how to work with them on a psychic, spiritual, and magical level.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Probably the best book on runes I have read for a long ...
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 20 November 2015*

Probably the best book on runes I have read for a long time. It has a good balance between the scholarly aspects of rune study and the spiritual side of working with them. Thankfully this is also a book written from a universalist perspective. Paxson credits other authors which is helpful, and also acknowledges where her interpretations are due to her personal insight or journey. Although this is abook intended to support a rune working or study group, if you are studying alone or already have some experience and knowledge of runes, this is still an excellent resource. In my view, this should be a key resource for anyone studying runes and eliminates the need to trawl through the mass of dubious books available.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Heathen-tastic
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 5 March 2012*

this book is a definitive guide to all things runic - from the basic meanings of each rune to the use of the runes in rituals and magic. It is a rich and valuable source of Norse knowledge breathing life back into the old religion, hailya and thank you Diana

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent work.
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 2 May 2019*
