Discover the Magic of the Ancient Runic Alphabet
The runes are an ancient Western alphabet, imbued with strong magical content. They originate from the native spiritual path of Northern Europe, but like all true magical systems, they are universal. With their roots in shamanism they are symbols of natural truth.
'Secrets of the Runes' provides a complete introduction to the history and practice of rune use, from its earliest beginnings to the present day. Runemaster Nigel Pennick explains the various systems in use across Europe, drawing on examples from as far back as Viking times, and explores the whole spectrum of runic practice, including:
- how to use rune stones, amulets, and talismans
- methods and materials for rune magic
- runic meditation and visualisation techniques
- sea magic, thought magic and shamanic magic
- a unique guide to constructing runic signs and runic numerology
- ceremonies for tunic empowerment
