Beware of historical or metaphysical books without bibliographies or suggested future reading. Not only is there no indication of where Ms. Farnell has gotten her information, there isn't even anything about what practice or path she follows. The back cover only says, "A foremost authority." Also there is poor information like; "and some say that the name "Halloween" derives from a form of the word "Hagal" or Hagalaz."" Halloween originally being Old Hallow's Eve and Hagalaz meaning hail this is a stretch unless more entomology was given to bridge the two.

I would not recommend this book to anyone trying to learn more about runes and their uses.

I like this book, but I have no runes right now to use them. I like that they talk about the dieties that go with each number and corresponding rune.

Well written, informative nonfiction on Runes, what they are, their purpose and creating your own. I borrowed this book from the local library for research purposes.

I still have a lot to learn.
