Beskrivelse
Runes are an ancient alphabet created by Germanic and Nordic peoples, used long before the Latin alphabet. Today, they serve as a popular tool for insight and divination.
An accessible guide to understanding and using the ancient runic alphabet.
Runes Illustrated breaks down the fascinating world of runes into two main parts: how to use runes for readings and a detailed overview of the entire runic alphabet, including a section on standing runestones. This compact guide reveals the basics of the three-rune layout, perfect for gaining clarity during a reading, and explains the more intricate five-rune cast for deeper insights.
The book explores specific runes like Uruz (U), symbolizing a wild ox in the Elder Futhark-the oldest runic alphabet. It also shows how runic inscriptions were combined on standing stones to commemorate burial sites and honor the feats of legendary warriors.
Beautifully crafted with traditional Chinese binding, the book features 120 illustrations and photographs showcasing runes, rune readings, and runestones. It’s a captivating resource for anyone curious about this ancient writing system and its modern-day applications.
