Discover the magical potential of runes and how to cast them in this beautifully illustrated gold-embossed hardback.

The word rune means both 'letter' and 'mystery' and these wondrous symbols were gifted to the Norse god Odin who hung speared from the World Tree Yggdrasil in order to gain knowledge of these secret signs.

great intro to Nordic runes, but sometimes there were unexplained graphics to fill space and I would have appreciated some additional context as to their relevance, such as Galdrastafir Stave Runes that remained unnamed and did not have their significance clarified with their relation to the futhark
