Nordic
Runes R210
By Paul Rhys Mountfort
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.

A guide to the Gods, Rites, and Celebrations from the Norse, Geman, and
Anglo- Saxon Traditions
Galina Krasskova R155
Exploring the Northern Tradition is an introduction to the modern reconstruction
of the ancient religion of the Germanic and Scandinavian peoples. This religion,
called Heathenry, is one of the fastest growing polytheistic religious movements
in the United States today. This book provides a thorough guide to the cosmology, values, ethics, and rituals practiced by modern Heathens. It
crosses denominational lines, examining practices common to all branches of
Heathenry in an easily accessible format. Readers will have the opportunity to explore the sacred stories of the various
Heathen Gods, like Odin, Frigga, Freya, and Thor, and the devotional practices of modern votaries. The most common devotional rite--the faining or blót--is
examined in rich detail, with examples given for personal use. Additionally, readers are introduced to the concept of wyrd or fate, so integral to the Heathen
worldview.
For those new to Heathenry, Pagans who wish to learn more about the Norse
Deities, or those simply interested in learning about this unique religion,
Exploring the Northern Tradition is the perfect introduction.

Rites of Odin: A Norse Book Of Shadows
by Ed Fitch
The ancient Norse knew a rough magic drawn from the beautiful grandeur of vast mountains and deep forests, from the power of rolling oceans and thundering storms. This religious and magical system of explorers, farmers, warriors and hunters went with the Vikings to the New World, and was practiced across Europe and eastward to the steppes of Central Asia. The rites and beliefs that sustained the Norsemen have been brought compellingly into the present in The Rites of Odin. Here is a complete sourcebook on Odinism which brings the ancient values back to these turbulent times. The material is authentic and the presentation is poetic and powerful. This book opens the door for the solitary seeker, for groups who have chosen to follow the Old Ways, and for families who wish to be unified by warm and close ceremonies. This book puts forth the message, in rites, practice and background lore, that you are uniquely important. You are in charge of your own destiny. The family and friends who constitute your "extended family" are also important: by working together and helping one another, all of you can prosper and be happy. The archaic Way of Valhalla has a beauty, magic, magnificence and power that has not lessened over the past thousand years. Today, as well as in ages long past, it remains the way of the bold! ...
