The Book Of Runes: Ralph Blum

An excellent introduction to the Runes in their aspect of healing and insight; how to learn their language; how to 'hear' what they are telling you and how to interpret the messages the give you as a means of communications with the subconscious mind. They are regarded as oracular rather than being a way of 'fortune-telling' -an oracle does not give you instruction on how to proceed, nor does it predict the future: instead, the Oracle points your attention towards those hidden fears and motivations that will shape your future by their unfelt presence and will direct your attention to the realm of choice. This book will tell you what is an appropriate issue, upright and reversed interpretations; the art of Rune casting; keeping a Rune journal; the legacy of the Runes and Magic in the present tense.
