Book Reviews of Futhark: A Handbook of Rune Magic
Book Review: The best for Rune meanings!
Summary: 5 Stars
Futhark is my favorite book for defining the hidden mysteries of the Runes. Each rune is presented in an extremely useful layout, giving full meanings and interpretations, names for each rune in Proto-Germanic, Gothic, Old English, Old Norse and Modern English, alternate forms of the runes, ideographic interpretations, mythological and cosmological as well as magical commentary and guidance in coming to one's own understanding of each rune. Also included are galdr forms, stadha exercises, key words for magical uses,and notation on the magical purposes of each rune.
When you consider that the second part of the book explains the tools of the runer, their construction and creation, ritual and rite to be used in the runic arts, bindrunes and ideograph usage... this book covers so much!
It is a must for the serious runer, and I, for one, always have it close at hand for my magical and spiritual studies.
Thorsson as an author is one of the supreme authorities of this age on Runology. He has an impressive university record as Stephen Flowers and his basis in Germanic history and language provide an excellent background for his work in the Northern historical and esoteric fields. His list of published works is impressive considering the quality of the materials he has presented.
Summary of Futhark: A Handbook of Rune Magic
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.
