Book excerpt: Everything You Need to Know to Begin Working With Runes The enigmatic nature of the runes is undeniable. In fact, the English word "rune" comes to us from the Norse word runa, which means "a secret," or "to whisper." As symbols, the runes mean little to the untrained eye, yet the magical energies they activate can be used for positive, impactful change in your everyday life. But what are runes, exactly? On the surface level, runes are the characters in a writing system used by the ancient Germanic peoples of Europe. But unlike our modern letters, the runic symbols had been used for magical purposes long before they were fashioned into an alphabet. This is known from runic inscriptions found on ancient artifacts as well as Germanic myth and lore handed down over the centuries. Indeed, those who work with the runes today are taking part in an age-old magical tradition established by our Northern European pagan ancestors. In Runes for Beginners, best-selling author Lisa Chamberlain shines the light on these ancient symbols, showing you how to discover and utilize their unique magical energies. With both an eye toward tradition and a multicultural spirit, Lisa combines an appreciation for the Germanic roots of the runes with a more eclectic Neopagan approach. Unlike many other books on the topic, Runes for Beginners is completely accessible to those with no experience in Northern European magical traditions, yet it doesn't ignore those traditions altogether. You will emerge from this guide with a basic understanding of the runes' role in ancient Germanic paganism, as well as a solid foundation of knowledge to build your own runic practice, regardless of your religious or spiritual path. Foundations in Runic Magic and Divination The runes represent various aspects of the human experience of the Universe-both tangible and intangible. Each runic symbol embodies a natural force, or type of energy, which the rune worker can attune to and then manipulate in various ways. Runes can be sent out into the Universe to manifest a magical goal, or they can be used to consult with the unseen realms about a situation at hand. In Runes for Beginners, you'll learn all you need to know to start working with runes, including: - The history of the runes and their role within the framework of the Germanic magical worldview - The origins of runic wisdom in Norse mythology - An overview of the Elder Futhark, the oldest-known runic alphabet and most widely used rune system in contemporary Neopaganism - Basic techniques of rune magic, including rune scripts, bind runes, and creating runic talismans - How to make your own runes - Instructions for traditional rune-casting as well as contemporary rune spreads - Tips for successful divination - The divinatory meanings and magical uses of each rune in the Elder Futhark - A suggested reading list for further exploring the runes and the magical and spiritual traditions of the ancient Germanic peoples - Detailed tables of correspondence for a handy condensed magical and divinatory guide By the end of this guide, you will have a working knowledge of the runes that will enable you to use them with confidence in magic and divination. However, when it comes to truly mastering the runes, the importance of time and practice can't be emphasized enough. Indeed, working with runes can truly become a lifelong journey, but Runes for Beginners is an excellent first step along the way.

This book was released on 2021-08-11 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The actual origins of the runic alphabet are shrouded in a lot of mystery. The earliest inscription is the one that reads Harja that might mean warrior or comb, which can be found on the Vimose comb in Denmark that dates back to 160 CE. This uses the runes so maturely and confidently that scholars think it resulted from about 100 years’ experience from writing the runes over this amount of time. How this tradition was created has been debated and speculated for many years. Inspirations from the Roman and Greek alphabet, along with Danish and Italic origins have been suggested. The most likely is the Greek since it does resemble a variation of the Greek alphabet. The Greek alphabet was unstandardized between the years of 700 to 400 BCE. It could have reached Germanic speakers through groups that were made up of eastern Europeans. The mythology of the Norse gives us the story of Odin and his sacrifice.

This book was released on 2015-02-15 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Runes are an ancient method of divination that still remain popular and useful today. Many people find them intriguing, because of their unique history and specific means of divination. Unlike fortune telling, runes are used to delve into a person's subconscious, and explore their true desires. They can be a wonderful aid in meditational practice, gaining self-awareness, or just getting some more perspective on various situations in your life. To people unfamiliar with divination tools, it may seem like some kind of spooky magic trick, witchcraft or even something demonic. None of those descriptions are accurate, and actually, runes encourage a person to explore their own mind and gain self-introspection. Initially part of an ancient Germanic alphabet, Runes have existed for hundreds of years. Versions of runes have been found in many different cultures all across the world, with stones created in a multitude of alphabets and designs. Simply put, runes are an old relic that has survived the test of time and is still proven useful today. The stones are a simple oracle which one can use to stimulate the thinking process. When the stones are cast, they aren't always entirely specific, meaning it is up to you to consider what they are telling you and how it relates to what you were asking. This often opens that pathway for critical thinking, solving problems and reducing stress.

Book excerpt: Offers a full introduction to and survey of runes and runology: their history, how they were used, and their interpretation. Runes, often considered magical symbols of mystery and power, are in fact an alphabetic form of writing. Derived from one or more Mediterranean prototypes, they were used by Germanic peoples to write different kinds of Germanic language, principally Anglo-Saxon and the various Scandinavian idioms, and were carved into stone, wood, bone, metal, and other hard surfaces; types of inscription range from memorials to the dead, through Christian prayers and everyday messages to crude graffiti. First reliably attested in the second century AD, runes were in due course supplanted by the roman alphabet, though in Anglo-Saxon England they continued in use until the early eleventh century, inScandinavia until the fifteenth (and later still in one or two outlying areas). This book provides an accessible, general account of runes and runic writing from their inception to their final demise. It also covers modern uses of runes, and deals with such topics as encoded texts, rune names, how runic inscriptions were made, runological method, and the history of runic research. A final chapter explains where those keen to see runic inscriptions can most easily find them. Professor MICHAEL P, BARNES is Emeritus Professor of Scandinavian Studies, University College London.

Hamburger combines deep respect for the ancient texts with practical rune-reading experience to bring you a truly authentic and inspiring book.Rune reading is a tool for gaining insight. Some see it as divination-a way of tapping into hidden knowledge. Others use it for self-reflection or focusing intention. Consulting the runes can be like talking to an old friend: you may know the truth, but sometimes you need to hear it before you believe it. However you use them, these ancient symbols will help you access your intuitive wisdom.Before Christianity spread to northern Europe, the indigenous peoples of the region were Germanic tribes, like the Anglo-Saxons, Goths, and Norsemen. Runes were the letters of their alphabets. Over time these letters developed rich symbolic meanings, passed down through poems and myths.

It may be tempting to focus on the "nicer" elements from each poem, overlooking anything too difficult or unpleasant, but it's clear from the poems that runes have a dark side-and we know from history that the people who used them were both fearless and fearsome.

Part 1 gives, among other things, a fair summarizing historical overview, whereby corresponding finds and their possible interpretations are not left out. Part 2 offers many passages in related mythology and the Norse sagas where runes occur, the corresponding quotes are included. These two parts form an important foundation for the third part, which deals with the use of runes in modern magical-practical usage. After decades of study of various western streams and schools of magic and a thorough study of the runes, the author has managed to combine both. The result is a unique modern rune magic, which is presented in the third part of the book.

Book excerpt: Master of the Runes is perhaps the most powerful book ever written on the runes. Both the novice and the expert will find the material inside useful. Master of the Runes seeks to explain an extra dimension to the runes that so many prior authors have left out. This book is not only about the meanings of the runes. It explores the meanings and then talks about WHY they mean what they do. We will explore many connections and explanations not discussed by other authors. Enough said - this is not your typical pocket book. It was written to turn you into a Rune Master.You may have come in contact with many rune books in your past explorations. Some may have left you hungry for more. Most, without doubt, only told you what the runes mean. These books are for memorization and do not help you form the knowledge to under-stand the intricate system of the Elder Futhark. Unlike those books, The Master of the Runes is the ultimate guide to the Futhark Runes in the Germanic context. There is so much information contained within that you will not walk away hungry. You will be prepared to understand the runes in your own way and in your own terms. More importantly you will understand them as our ancestors meant for them to be understood. The runes provide initiation into higher ways of thinking that transcend the material plane. As progression is made in studying the runes, the quality of understanding the world deepens. The student is able to peel back the layers of reality. In one way this works on a macro level. In another perspective this works on the micro. After all, the universe is a hologram of the self.To achieve a deeper understanding of the runes requires us to work with them. Only through practice, will the runes open up their symbolic meaning to you. This process is known as runic revelation.When Odin seized the runes, he did not merely conceptualize them as we would a letter in the alphabet. He took within him their meaning. This required Odin to sacrifice himself to himself on Yggdrasil. By suspending the animation of his body, he was able to penetrate through the confines of time-space and imposed contingencies.This book will conceptualize the runes of the Elder Futhark with my emphasis upon the Germanic Futhark. However, I will discuss elements from all futharks in order to paint a greater picture. I will also use other Indo-European traditions and etymologies to elaborate on knowledge that has been obscured through the sands of time.
