Today I am delighted to bring you a giveaway for an altogether different book to my usual crime. If you have ever heard the expression ‘reading the runes’ and been intrigued, this beautifully illustrated book will not only explain the basics to you, but also offers a guide to help you take your first steps in achieving a reading.
The Nordic world is full of mythological tales and old magick. Magick that required the wisest to understand the truths contained in the runes that weave together the fabric of the world. Such people were called Rune Masters and their ancient art is all but forgotten in contemporary Britain.
Runes were designed to mark the nature of existence, recording and imbuing secret powers. Now James Flowerdew brings you a practical beginners guide to the art of reading these ancient stones and shares both his successes and his failures.
