Download or read book Runic Book of Days written by S. Kelley Harrell and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-09-11 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A step-by-step guide to working with the runes throughout the year • 2019 Nautilus Silver Award • Explains how the 24 runes of the Elder Futhark each rule the calendar for a half-month • Details the runes most powerful during each runic half-month, what they portend for personal and spiritual wellbeing, and techniques for creating relationships with them • Includes structured devotionals for each half-month and runic initiation rituals for the 8 pagan Sabbats, or holy days, such as the Summer Solstice (Litha) and Lughnssadh (the first harvest holy day) The Old Norse runes, known as the Elder Futhark, have long joined forces with the cycles of the seasons to offer powerful initiations, guidance, and wisdom. Aligning the sacred festivals, plantings, and harvests of ancient runic calendars with our modern 12-month calendar, Kelley Harrell reveals how the runes can once again offer initiations as well as instruct us on the holy days and creative rhythms of today. Drawing on her more than 25 years of shamanic practice and runic study, Harrell offers a step-by-step primer to work with the runes throughout the year. She explains how the 24 runes of the Elder Futhark follow a seasonal progression in which each stave rules the calendar for a half-month. She explores the meaning of each rune in detail and presents structured runic devotionals for each half-month, interwoven with guidance on how to make the best use of the life force available during each season, as well as runic initiation rituals for the 8 pagan Sabbats, or holy days, such as the Summer Solstice (Litha) and Beltane (May Day). She details the runes most powerful during each half-month, what they portend for personal and spiritual wellbeing, techniques for creating relationships with them, and how to work with them as an oracle. The author also explains how the runes leading up to each Sabbat help create the space for properly greeting each calendrical transition and completing its initiation. By moving through Nature’s cycle with the runes, each year becomes a reliable and trackable process of personalized growth and spiritual connection. Progressing through the teachings of each stave while honoring the seasons, Harrell’s year with the runes becomes an initiation into a direct relationship with powers of Nature.

Download or read book Master of the Runes written by R. C. Fordham and published by . This book was released on 2017-02-04 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master of the Runes is perhaps the most powerful book ever written on the runes. Both the novice and the expert will find the material inside useful. Master of the Runes seeks to explain an extra dimension to the runes that so many prior authors have left out. This book is not only about the meanings of the runes. It explores the meanings and then talks about WHY they mean what they do. We will explore many connections and explanations not discussed by other authors. Enough said - this is not your typical pocket book. It was written to turn you into a Rune Master.You may have come in contact with many rune books in your past explorations. Some may have left you hungry for more. Most, without doubt, only told you what the runes mean. These books are for memorization and do not help you form the knowledge to under-stand the intricate system of the Elder Futhark. Unlike those books, The Master of the Runes is the ultimate guide to the Futhark Runes in the Germanic context. There is so much information contained within that you will not walk away hungry. You will be prepared to understand the runes in your own way and in your own terms. More importantly you will understand them as our ancestors meant for them to be understood. The runes provide initiation into higher ways of thinking that transcend the material plane. As progression is made in studying the runes, the quality of understanding the world deepens. The student is able to peel back the layers of reality. In one way this works on a macro level. In another perspective this works on the micro. After all, the universe is a hologram of the self.To achieve a deeper understanding of the runes requires us to work with them. Only through practice, will the runes open up their symbolic meaning to you. This process is known as runic revelation.When Odin seized the runes, he did not merely conceptualize them as we would a letter in the alphabet. He took within him their meaning. This required Odin to sacrifice himself to himself on Yggdrasil. By suspending the animation of his body, he was able to penetrate through the confines of time-space and imposed contingencies.This book will conceptualize the runes of the Elder Futhark with my emphasis upon the Germanic Futhark. However, I will discuss elements from all futharks in order to paint a greater picture. I will also use other Indo-European traditions and etymologies to elaborate on knowledge that has been obscured through the sands of time.

Download or read book Runes written by Michael P. Barnes and published by Boydell Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offers a full introduction to and survey of runes and runology: their history, how they were used, and their interpretation. Runes, often considered magical symbols of mystery and power, are in fact an alphabetic form of writing. Derived from one or more Mediterranean prototypes, they were used by Germanic peoples to write different kinds of Germanic language, principally Anglo-Saxon and the various Scandinavian idioms, and were carved into stone, wood, bone, metal, and other hard surfaces; types of inscription range from memorials to the dead, through Christian prayers and everyday messages to crude graffiti. First reliably attested in the second century AD, runes were in due course supplanted by the roman alphabet, though in Anglo-Saxon England they continued in use until the early eleventh century, inScandinavia until the fifteenth (and later still in one or two outlying areas). This book provides an accessible, general account of runes and runic writing from their inception to their final demise. It also covers modern uses of runes, and deals with such topics as encoded texts, rune names, how runic inscriptions were made, runological method, and the history of runic research. A final chapter explains where those keen to see runic inscriptions can most easily find them. Professor MICHAEL P, BARNES is Emeritus Professor of Scandinavian Studies, University College London.
