Runecaster's Handbook: The Well of Wyrd
The author of best-selling Futhark: A Handbook of Rune Magic and
Runelore takes you deeper into the heart of the runecaster's art,
specifically, runic divination. The word rune means "mystery", and
casting the runes enables the runecaster to penetrate the mystery of
the relationship between the gods and humans, and between internal and
external environments. Strongly loyal to the ancient traditions, Edred
Thorsson traces the evolution of runecasting to the present in order to
restore runework to its historical, spiritual, and cosmological
significance. Thorsson shows you:
-- how to make your own runes;
-- how to load the rune with numinous power;
-- how to prepare the optimum setting for a rune reading;
-- how to prepare yourself psychologically and spiritually for casting the runes.
The
book is complete -- including general rune meanings, divinatory tables,
the positive and negative aspects of each rune, its linguistic
component and phonetic value. Thorsson provides runic layouts and
sample readings, as well as alternative ways to cast lots and answer
yes/no questions. In each case, he is explicit, precise, and generous
-- he trusts the runecaster's art and the integrity of the runecaster
who is new to the craft. This volume is sure to restore runecasting to
its position as a sacred art.
