Thanks for that. DOn't know anything about Runes, I'm basically I Ching, Tarot & Astrology, so I'm hear to learn something else. Thanks for the pointer of...
Merry Meet, Jake - I too started with the Bloom book, but I rarely refer to it anymore. It has some helpful stuff. I think it's too personal to him, though....
You may also want to check out Freya Aswynn's Northern Mysteries and Edred Thorsson's Futhark. These go deeper than Jennifer's book, but provide lots of...
That's the essence I think. No single book can ever hope tot each you all there is about the runes. Their meaning is both collective among all people, as well...
Wassail! Those books are alright for hungry beginners looking to search for some knowledge on what could be the Northern lore or The Runes...but I do not...

Dear Olluyn Jo, (and all) Great statement..."provide footholds for you to start climbing. After that, it's up to you", after about a year and about 20 books,...
I've found that many books are valuable in and of their own, but that essentially, the runes invite individualism. Sticking too much with one or twoo books...
There are extensive bibliographies on runelore, mythology, history/culture, and sagas on my website. Newbies will find good books for beginners on the ...
Hi there. Carl in North Wales - lots of wild hills, forests and Celtic tradition :) I have a bought set of runes, and a home made set. They both talk to me :)...

My first set of runes were painted with gold paint on those glass beads that are used to fill vases - they are rounded one side and flat on the other. I have...
In Carl's reply to my post about Wynn / Wunjo he brought up the point about interpretting orientation of a Rune when it apears, this also brings up the concept...
I found this insight by Yves Kodratoff ( http://www.nordic-life.org/nmh/runedescriptions.htm ) to be very enlightening, at least for me, in terms of enlarging...
You have to be very 'dextrous' not to find that 'sinister' ... The idea of looking up from under the table, not through - so - if I have this correct. A...
