The author of the bestselling Futhark has done it
again! Combining historical lore w ith esoteric investi-
gation, Runelore dispels most of the misconceptions
fostered b y r ecent books that purport to e x p lo re the
runic tradition. A rune is a magical word. It is a self-
created viewpoint, and it cannot be co m m u n ica ted
through profane or natural speech. It is a rpagical
word that is whispered i n our ear b y the Odhinn
within. Runes define patterns of existence and co n -
sciousness that are manifested in Divine Co nsci o u s -
ness and in the World Being. The language of the
runes will appeal to both the occult and a ca d e m ic
worlds b ecause it combines folklore, linguistics, the
histor y o f religion and magic. Contents include:
• runic history from the pre-Viking er a to
th e p r e sent
• rune m agic and divination
• runic co des
• rune poems
• runic numerology
• e x p la n a t io n s of the mysteries
o f the 24 r u n es
• runic p sychology and its relationship to
Jungian sym b o lis m
• r u nelo re of the Odhinic pantheon, and
how the r u nest e r ca n unlock the w ays o f
the divinities within
T h is is a n indispens ible textbook for a ll tho se who
seek to unravel the riddle of the runes.
