Stephen Edred Flowers (born 1953) also known by the pen-name Edred Thorsson, is an American Runologist and proponent of occultism and Germanic mysticism. He has over two dozen published books and hundreds of published papers on a disparate range of subjects. Flowers advocates "Esoteric Runology" or "Odianism", an occultist version of Germanic Neopaganism.
Short book basically constituting a sequence of exercises based on theory presented in more detail elsewhere. Enough description to work with for anyone with a basic understanding of runes & the context of the authors work. Nice illustrations & diagrams. Handy to have.
An interesting look at the Armanen Runes, an area I'm not familiar with as of yet. It really felt like that small part of a larger work that it is though. There were good ideas for ritualistic workings in here and some Runic hand signs I'd not seen before.
I now want to try and obtain a copy of 'Heilige Runenmacht' with interesting avenues of study opened up into Armanen mysticism and the work of Guido Von List.
