Northern Paganism The Runes

The ancient Northern Pagan runes are magical characters and signs which contain secret, hidden lore and wisdom for each individual who knows how to use them. They are called the power-runes (Valrunum) in our Poetic Edda.With this book you will learn how to possess that runic magic; with practice you will learn how to control it and have it work for you, how to make the runes part of your own psyche and how to control the very fabric of the universe around you.As well, you will learn why the runes are called Odin’s; why Odin taught them to Freyja and why Freyja taught Odin magic. We show what a Bind-rune and rune-cast are, as well as show and discuss how the merkstave rune is applicable.We teach you how the runes apply to the constellations (including drawings), which will be useful in other arts such as astrology and tarot cards.Referencing and citing our Poetic Edda’s Hovamol, you will know what it means to blood the runes.We use the runes from the Elder Futhark and to make them easier to locate in the book, we present them in the order of the Americanized alphabet.We not only provide you with the runes and constellations, we also give additional important information about our Northern Pagan ancestors and our ancient beliefs.
