About this listen

A popular in-depth exploration of the runes, reissued with a new chapter on rune divination, now part of the Weiser Classics series.

Diana Paxson has distilled her years of experience working with the runes and teaching others into this one definitive sourcework. In a series of chapters dealing with rune pairs, listeners will learn the historical meaning of each individual rune and its use and meaning now, in contemporary culture. But as Paxson shares, the real power of the runes comes from internalizing them and using their symbols as sources of wisdom and strength.

At the end of each chapter introducing and exploring the pairs of runes are rituals and spells for all levels of ability that help internalize the attributions, meanings, symbolism, and use of the runes. Further study in part two of the book expands the use of the runes in divination, guided meditations, and song. Everything regarding runes is covered in this definitive guide, 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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Exceptionally good!

This was over the top good information! I feel more connected to my own handmade runes. I understand the pronunciations, and the meanings of all 24 runes of the Elder FUTHARK. I actually have new respect for the subtleties of, and relationships of the runes with each other, and how the wisdom of the runes can help guide us...

Introduction was a huge turn off

I bought this for further insight into the Runes not a moral lesson. If you make it past the introduction it has some useful content.

Too woke!

Virtual signaling anti European. Shameful. Be proud of YOUR culture and make no apologies for it.
