BOOK LIST
The Book of Runes: Read the Secrets in the Language of the Stones By: Francis Melville
Description: Readers learn to decipher and harness the magic of the ancient Nordic runes! Feogh symbolizes financial gain and status . . . Thorn stands for protection, defense, and caution. These and each of the runic alphabet’s many other magic symbols have special meanings all their own. Author Francis Melville presents directions for making amulets and talismans to invoke the power of Norse gods. He describes the method of conducting readings with rune stones to predict future events and bring good fortune. This heavily illustrated volume also presents the history of rune stones, the meaning of the runic alphabet, and the secret symbols attached to each meaning. Rune stones and rune sticks can be purchased from many outlets, but readers who follow the author’s instructions can make runes of their own, using any of several different natural materials, including pebbles, wood, and clay.
Runelore- By: Edred Thorsson
Description: History, magic, codes, divination and Odhinic lore. As I already mention elsewhere on this site I am not Thorsson's greatest fan, but this is a good primer on the subject if you skip the personal agenda.
Futhark: A Handbook of Rune Magic By: Edred Thorsson
Description: Runes are the ancient Norse alphabet used for communication, divination, and magical work. In Futhark, American runologist Edred Thorsson introduces readers to the 24 runes of the Elder Futhark, their definitions, and mystic properties.
The runic system of magic and mysticism is one of the most powerful forms of metaphysical thought available to the Western world. This bestselling classic book on Runes continues to be required reading for those who seek true knowledge of the mystery of the Runes.
Thorsson's presentation of this powerful system is lucid and profound and provides a valuable tool for spiritual transformation and self-development.
