Futhark A Handbook Of Rune Magic

BOOK: FUTHARK A HANDBOOK OF RUNE MAGIC BY EDRED THORSSON

Complete book of rune Instruction including definitions of the 24 runes of the Elder Futhark. Includes discussion of phonetic values, derivation and magical qualities of each rune, as well as exercises, chants, rituals, all geared for self-development.

This book is REQUIRED READING for those who would dare seek true knowledge of the runes. Other books purporting to reveal the Mysteries of the runes are best left to the New Agers -- this is the real deal. Be advised that even though this "introductory" text is "for beginners," it is only for those who truely wish to KNOW. There is no mass-market fluff here! Although I am not entirely in agreement with the Teachings of Mister Flowers (Thorsson) and the Rune-Guild, this is, by far, the best book I've seen on the subject matter... better even than "Thorsson's" later books for more advanced studies. He has written a number of books on the runes, and, even though I have a working knowledge of runelore myself, a few of them were difficult to read. Fortunately, "Futhark" is not one of them. The only real criticism I have is that, personally, I find the concept of "runic postures" rather silly. Visualize them, carve them, stain them with your blood -- but don't go striking a pose! Aside from that, this was an excellent book, and I recommend it highly.

Rune Lore By Edred Thorsson

"THE AUTHOR OF THE BESTSELLING FUTHARK HAS DONE IT AGAIN! COMBINING HISTORICAL LORE WITH ESOTERIC INVESTIGATION, RUNELORE DISPELS MOST OF THE MISCONCEPTIONS FOSTERED BY RECENT BOOKS THAT PURPORT TO EXP LO RE THE RUNIC TRADITION. A RUNE IS A MAGICAL WORD. IT IS A SELFCREATED VIEWPOINT, AND IT CANNOT BE COMMUNICATED THROUGH PROFANE OR NATURAL SPEECH. IT IS A MAGICAL WORD THAT IS WHISPERED IN OUR EAR BY THE ODHINN WITHIN. RUNES DEFINE PATTERNS OF EXISTENCE AND CO N SCIOUSNESS THAT ARE MANIFESTED IN DIVINE CONSCIOUSNESS AND IN THE WORLD BEING. THE LANGUAGE OF THE RUNES WILL APPEAL TO BOTH THE OCCULT AND ACADEMIC WORLDS BECAUSE IT COMBINES FOLKLORE, LINGUISTICS, THE HISTORY OF RELIGION AND MAGIC. CONTENTS INCLUDE:"

"o RUNIC HISTORY FROM THE PRE-VIKING ER A TO THE PRESENT"o RUNE MAGIC AND DIVINATION"o RUNIC CODES"o RUNE POEMS"o RUNIC NUMEROLOGY"o EXP LA N A T ION S OF THE MYSTERIES OF THE 24 RUNES"o RUNIC PSYCHOLOGY AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO JUNGIAN SYMBOLISM"o RUNELORE OF THE ODHINIC PANTHEON, AND HOW THE RUNESTER CAN UNLOCK THE WAYS OF THE DIVINITIES WITHIN"

"TH IS IS AN INDISPENSIBLE TEXTBOOK FOR ALL THOSE WHO SEEK TO UNRAVEL THE RIDDLE OF THE RUNES."
