You can use runes as powerful tools of magic, not only for divination but also for spiritual development and enlightenment. In the Futhark, which has been continuously published for twenty-five years, the author EDRED THORSSON teaches us how. Thorsson guides readers into the depths of the Elder Futhark - the oldest form of the runic alphabet used by Germanic tribes from around 200 BC to 800 AD. This twenty-four character alphabet was used for communication and also for magic - images of runes can be found on amulets, tools, weapons, and on stones used for divination. The power hidden behind each rune is still alive, and when we know how to direct it, it becomes an effective symbol of transformation in human life. Futhark is a comprehensive book on runic teaching. It contains detailed definitions of all twenty-four runes and their interpretations, phonetic values, derived forms, and magical properties. Additionally, Thorsson provides readers with exercises, chants, and rituals that allow them to connect with the power hidden in each glyph.
