| Nordic Runes | |
 |
by Paul Rhys Mountfort. Nordic runes are a potent and profoundly transformative magic system that gives contemporary readers access to the ancient wisdom tradition of Northern European cultures. The runes have deep resonances within the pagan Norse world of gods and goddesses, giants, dwarves, warriors, and wizards, which have greatly influenced the work of J.R.R. Tolkien, among others. Norse tradition attributes the discovery of the runes to the "All-Father" Odin--a god of inspiration and secret wisdom and the mythical prototype for runecasters, who established the pattern for gaining his knowledge. Nordic Runes addresses three major areas: Runelore, the history of this 2000-year-old Norse oracle; Runestaves, the meaning of the individual runes of the Elder Futhark alphabet and their powerful mythological, magical, and practical lessons for daily life; and Runecasting, a comprehensive guide to the oracular application of the ancient runes, including their crafting, divination, and self-development. As Nordic Runes shows, the runes do more than simply reflect the path of fate; they help develop and enhance intuition. By learning to cast and interpret the runes, the user becomes receptive to the energy currents in material reality and empowered in the arts of its transformation. This is a 277 page trade softcover book. |

| Norse Magic | |
 |
By D. J. Conway. This is an informative guide for both beginners and intermediates in the field of magic -- or for those who simply have a great interest in Norse culture, myth and history. It leads the beginner step-by-step through concise, 'guided' spells, yet anyone of an intermediary level will have no trouble adapting the spells and rituals into more advanced forms. It shows you how to see into the future, attain wealth, gain love, gain protection, banish negative entities, and promote physical, mental and spiritual health. This is a magic system for the 'doers' of this world, life’s participants, those who believe in taking an active part in shaping their own future. It is based on pride in oneself, courage to face whatever comes and the continuing knowledge to mold a particular life plan. Paperback, 244 pages. |

| Northern Mysteries and Magick | |
 |
By Freya Aswynn. (Revised Edition of the classic 'Leaves of Yggdrasil') The runes are more than an ancient alphabet. They comprise a powerful system of divination and a path to the subconscious forces operating in your life. Written by one of England's foremost authorities on the runes and their history this is the only book of Nordic magick written by a woman. It is the first to offer an extensive presentation of rune concepts, mythology and magickal applications inspired by Dutch/Friesian traditional lore. Discover how the feminine Mysteries of the North are represented in the runes, and how each of the major deities of Northern Europe still live in the collective consciousness of people of Northern European descent. Contains an updated and expanded section on the feminine Mysteries, reviving the sorely neglected feminine aspect of the Norse Mythology. Chapters on runic divination and magick introduce the use of runes in counseling and healing. Softcover, 251 pages. |
