About This Book
This introductory guide to runic divination reveals how to use these ancient symbols to gain valuable insight. The runic alphabet of ancient Nordic and Germanic peoples has long been understood to possess hidden magic. Medieval mystics accessed this power through a divination system using runic symbols inscribed on small stones or tiles. This book reveals the secrets of rune casting, with instruction on how to read the runes for love, meditation, inner wisdom, health, and prosperity. With full explanations of runic alphabets and groupings, you will be able to create your own personalized set of runes, learn the most effective methods for casting, and try a variety of readings. This volume also explains the connection between runes and gems, and includes dozens of accompanying paintings and photographs.

ReligiónTYR’S EIGHT
The last group of runes is named after the God of War, the oldest of the North German deities. Like Odin, he represents both enlightenment and valour.
TYR
The god Tyr, motivation
When Tyr appears in a reading a competitive, not combatative, character is suggested. High motivation is linked with great strength of will. Impressive stamina suggests that, when suffering difficulties, you will live to fight another day. It also represents fertility and increase, children and burgeoning ideas. When reversed, all the positive qualities are literally turned on their heads; impatience, lack of perseverence, low energy levels and a tendency to be accident prone.
BEORC
A birch tree, inception
The birch tree was the tree of regeneration to the North European tribes. It represents the concept of mother and child, literally, and giving birth and nurturing a new idea, metaphorically. As one of its planetary rulers is Jupiter, a fortunate outcome is projected. Also ruled by the Moon, it can be read as a symbol of the mother and homemaker.
Reversed, it warns of family problems ranging from infertility to illness and death. Take heed, seek professional advice. If you do, these calamities can be averted.
EHWAZ
A horse, advancement
This is the rune of controlled change, always for the better. The horse represents journeys and the trusting relationship between man and beast. The runes drawn with it will indicate the nature of the journey; a lengthy business transaction or long-term emotional involvement. When reversed, it does not automatically reverse its positive attributes. The meaning will depend on the runes drawn with it. If they are favourable, it remains favourable. If unfavourable, the attribute is reversed. Sometimes called Eh or Eoh, the Germanic name is used here to avoid confusion.
MANN
Mankind, interdependence
As the ancient peoples depended upon each other to exist in difficult terrains, so this rune indicates that, if in difficulties, help is close by. This help will be objective advice or impartial action, perhaps by a professional advisor such as a doctor or lawyer. It indicates the gathering together of like-minded people to promote a good cause.
Reversed means that you are on your own, for the time being at least. Keep a low profile.
LAGU
Water, intuition
The unpredictable waters of the northern seas were a constant danger to the Norsemen. In a reading, Lagu is a warning about the dangers during life’s journey. Water’s fluidity, controlled by the Moon, represents quicksilver thought, intuition and psychic powers. An artistic nature is indicated; design, painting, acting or writing.
When reversed, this is an unfavourable rune, needing the strongest favourable runes to temper its nature. Water spreads quickly, so take immediate action to contain the problem at hand.
ING
Completion, new beginnings
A weight off your mind, following the completion of a venture, is shown by this non-reversible rune, Your mind will be free, a clean sheet on which to inscribe a new idea. It can mean a feeling of completion by the forming of a perfect partnership in business or romance; two matched souls meeting. In general, its omens are good, but, occasionally, completion can bring endings in a negative sense, leaving a feeling of emptiness. Where do you go next?
DAEG
Day, transformation
Daytime was of prime importance to the dwellers of the dark north, where night was often longer than ...
