A Practical Guide to the Runes: Their Uses in Divination and Magic — Lisa Peschel | Paperback

The runes began as a language. They became something more.

Created by the Nordic and Germanic tribes of northern Europe, the runes are a magickal system of pictographs encoding the forces and objects of the natural world — EIHWAZ the yew, URUZ the wild ox, KENAZ the hearth fire. Lisa Peschel's Practical Guide to the Runes has introduced over 200,000 readers to their oracular nature and their use as a living tool for insight, protection, and luck.

Practical and precise, this illustrated guide covers all twenty-four runes of the Elder Futhark plus WYRD, the blank rune; the difference between bindrunes and runescripts; four rune layouts with detailed interpretations including reversed meanings; how to carve runes and create talismans; and the full range of runic applications in magick.
