Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A practical guide to the Anglo-Saxon Futhark and how runes were used in Old England • Examines the 33 Northumbrian runes of the Anglo-Saxon Futhark, providing the meanings, historical uses, symbolism, and related tree and plant spirits for each • Explores geomancy divination practices, the role of sacred numbers, and the power of the eight airts, or directions • Provides a magical history of Northumbria, as well as a look at the otherworldly beings who call these lands home, including boggarts, brownies, and dragons • Shows how traditional spirituality is intimately tied to the landscape and the cycle of the seasons In the early Anglo-Saxon period, the region of Great Britain known as Northumbria was a kingdom in its own right. These lands, in what is now northern England and southeast Scotland, were the targets of the first Viking raids on Britain. This violent influx, followed by the establishment of trade routes with the Norse, brought the runes to the region, where they intermingled with local magical traditions and legends, resulting in the development of a practical runic wisdom entirely unique to Northumbria. In this guide to the Wyrdstaves, or runic practices, of Old Northumbria, Nigel Pennick examines the thirty-three runes of the Anglo-Saxon Futhark and how they were used in Old England for weaving the web of Wyrd. Sharing runic lore and legends from the area, he explains how the Northumbrian runes are unique because they contain elements from all the cultures of the region, including the Picts, Britons, Romans, Angles, Scots, and Norse. He illustrates how each rune in this tradition is a storehouse of ancient knowledge, detailing the meanings, historical uses, symbolism, and related tree and plant spirits for each of the thirty-three runes. The author describes the Northumbrian use of runes in magic and encryption and explores geomancy divination practices, the role of sacred numbers, and the power of the eight airts, or directions. He also shows how the Northumbrian runes have a close relationship with Ogam, the tree alphabet of the ancient Celts. Providing a magical history of Northumbria, as well as a look at the otherworldly beings who call these lands home, including boggarts, brownies, and dragons, Pennick explains how traditional spirituality is intimately tied to the landscape and the cycle of the seasons. He reveals how the runic tradition is still vibrantly alive in this area and ready for us to reawaken to it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you want to learn everything about Norse Mythology? Do you want to know about Norse Gods? Do you want to know what runes are and what their meaning is? Or how can you use them? Do you wish to know the famous Viking's beliefs and stories? The best-preserved form of the ancient common Germanic mythology, which also includes the closely related Anglo-Saxon mythology, is Norse mythology. In turn, Germanic mythology originated from older Indo-European mythology. Norse mythology refers to the mythical framework in Scandinavia during and around the Viking Age. The Nordic mythological universe is both intricate and extensive, with a creation story where the first gods murder a giant and convert his body parts into the globe. Many kingdoms spread out under the World Tree Yggdrasil's final destruction of the known world in the Ragnarök. Its polytheistic pantheon, which the one-eyed Odin leads, encompasses a large number of various gods and goddesses who were worshipped in ancient Scandinavian cultures. The book has two parts, and it includes topics like: The Gods of Norse Methodology Ragnarok Runic deviation Runes in Modern Magic Runic inscription and meanings And many more exciting topics! Runes are a collection of stones, wood, or other objects with holy symbols carved into them. Each rune has its narrative to tell. Runes may convey your life's tale, whether strewn across a surface, taken from a bag, or meticulously placed out in patterns. The earliest runic script, known now as the Elder Futhark, was developed to satisfy the demands of the newly forming languages as these dialects grew more different from the original Proto-Germanic. Runes were introduced to different runic scripts to represent new sounds that entered the languages, new runic symbols represented existing sounds, and some runes were removed entirely. So what are you waiting for? Click on the buy button and start your journey of Norse Mythology and runes!

Download or read book Nordic Runes written by Paul Rhys Mountfort and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2003-05-05 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive and practical guide to the ancient oracle based on the runic alphabet of the Norse • Reveals the symbolism and divinatory significance of the 24 rune "staves" • Provides clear instructions on how to craft your own rune stones • Explains the role of runes in the Norse wisdom tradition and its influence on such works as Tolkien's Lord of the Rings Nordic runes are a potent and profoundly transformative magic system that gives contemporary readers access to the ancient wisdom tradition of Northern European cultures. The runes have deep resonances within the pagan Norse world of gods and goddesses, giants, dwarves, warriors, and wizards, which have greatly influenced the work of J.R.R. Tolkien, among others. Norse tradition attributes the discovery of the runes to the "All-Father" Odin--a god of inspiration and secret wisdom and the mythical prototype for runecasters, who established the pattern for gaining his knowledge. Nordic Runes addresses three major areas: Runelore, the history of this 2000-year-old Norse oracle; Runestaves, the meaning of the individual runes of the Elder Futhark alphabet and their powerful mythological, magical, and practical lessons for daily life; and Runecasting, a comprehensive guide to the oracular application of the ancient runes, including their crafting, divination, and self-development. As Nordic Runes shows, the runes do more than simply reflect the path of fate; they help develop and enhance intuition. By learning to cast and interpret the runes, the user becomes receptive to the energy currents in material reality and empowered in the arts of its transformation.

Download or read book Runic Amulets and Magic Objects written by Mindy MacLeod and published by Boydell Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fresh examination of one of the most contentious issues in runic scholarship - magical or not? The runic alphabet, in use for well over a thousand years, was employed by various Germanic groups in a variety of ways, including, inevitably, for superstitious and magical rites. Formulaic runic words were inscribed onto small items that could be carried for good luck; runic charms were carved on metal or wooden amulets to ensure peace or prosperity. There are invocations and allusions to pagan and Christian gods and heroes, to spirits of disease, and even to potential lovers. Few such texts are completely unique to Germanic society, and in fact, most of the runic amulets considered in this book show wide-ranging parallels from a variety of European cultures. The question ofwhether runes were magical or not has divided scholarship in the area. Early criticism embraced fantastic notions of runic magic - leading not just to a healthy scepticism, but in some cases to a complete denial of any magical element whatsoever in the runic inscriptions. This book seeks to re-evaulate the whole question of runic sorcery, attested to not only in the medieval Norse literature dealing with runes but primarily in the fascinating magical texts of the runic inscriptions themselves.

Book excerpt: The mystery of the runes finally solved! In this groundbreaking work, the author definitively establishes the heretofore hidden link between runic scripture and the conceptual elements of Norse mythology: systematically disclosing and illustrating in this 3rd Edition, the fundamental principles underwriting the structure and representative meaning of over one thousand runic symbols. In short, a seminal milestone in the field of Semiotic Runology, this new edition substantially augments and refines the compendium of symbols discussed in the original 2009 publication and its subsequent 2nd Edition. But beware! This book will prove challenging to the Weak of Spirit. For the runes, so disclosed, have the meditative power to introspectively raise one's level of consciousness to the Heights of Divine Awareness, and not everyone has the moral fortitude to ascend to such a cognitive altitude. To steadfastly follow the narrow winding path of the Hallowed Trail of Blood up the steep grade of the Heavenly Mountains to the lofty perch of Heimdall's Hall and thereupon rightly receive, as a welcome guest in the House of the Lord, the True Secret of Heathen Scripture! That it faithfully articulates a truly profound understanding of the Metaphysics of Life! So the question is: Are YOU prepared to climb?
