Runes have held a special place in the fabric of Northern European, Celtic and Anglo-Saxon cultures. Serving as both a linguistic and mystic device, these ancient symbols reach across the boundaries of time and space to ensnare both the scholar and the seeker in the quest to understand and interpret the messages that they bring. This volume blends the traditional runic meanings with contemporary interpretations to provide a new voice to the runic oracle bringing it forward into the 21st century for beginners and skilled seekers alike.
