Northern Mysteries and Magic: Runes, Gods & Feminine Powers
Freya Aswynn R225
The runes are more than an ancient alphabet. They comprise a powerful system of divination and a path to the subconscious forces operating in your life. Northern Mysteries & Magic is the only book of Nordic magick written by a woman, and it is the first to offer an extensive presentation of Rune concepts, mythology and magickal applications inspired by Dutch/Fresian traditional lore. Discover how the feminine mysteries of the North are represented in the runes, and how each of the major deities of Northern Europe still live in the collective consciousness of people of Northern European descent. Chapters on runic divination and magic introduce the use of runes in counseling and healing. Northern Mysteries & Magic emphasizes the feminine mysteries and the function of the Northern priestesses. It unveils a complete and personal system of the rune magic that will fascinate students of mythology, spirituality, psychism and Teutonic history, for this is not only a religious autobiography but also a historical account of the ancient Northern European culture.
Taking Up the Runes
R295
A Complete Guide to Using Runes in Spells, Rituals, Divination, and Magic
Diana L. Paxson
Although many of us first encountered runes in J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, this sacred alphabet is by no means a fabrication for books or movies. Similar to Hebrew letters in the sense that each symbol contains a meaning that transcends its original function as a letter, the runes are practical, flexible, and effective symbols with a variety of uses.
"Effective use of the runes requires both the old wisdom and the new. The student must not only consciously study the meanings ascribed to the runes by earlier scholars, but must internalize them." -Diana Paxson, from the Introduction
Today, the best-known application of rune lore is divination: chips or stones marked with the runes are drawn, cast, or laid out in patterns like tarot cards. In Taking Up the Runes, Paxson delves into the ancient historical meaning of each rune and explains their contemporary uses and meanings. We discover that the real power of runes comes from inside ourselves when we find the wisdom and power within each symbol and
internalise them.
Taking Up the Runes is the ultimate workbook for using the runes on a psychic, spiritual, and magical level. Learn how to make your own rune set and how to use the runes in guided meditations and song.
Discover dozens of rituals and spells for all levels of ability.
Rites of Odin: A Norse Book Of Shadows
R248
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! ...

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.

The Runic Tarot:
Ancient lore to guide your life R295
Caroline Smith and John Astrop
Runic lore and the mystery of the runes are as much a part of Celtic lore as the passing of the seasons and the rhythms of the natural year, woven together and as interlocking as the wonderfully intricate patterns of Celtic art. And of course, the relationship of the Sun, the Moon and the Earth, the turning of the year and the movement of the planets inspired the first systems of divination and prediction.
In this beautiful deck THE RUNIC TAROT presents the powerful symbolism of a Major Arcana comprising the 24 glyphs of a runic zodiac wheel with traditional Norse significance. This is coupled with a Minor Arcana of 4 suits, each reflecting a season of the Celtic calendar: Imbolc, Beltane, Lughnasadh and Samhain each hold 12 cards, one for each week of the 3-month period, and 4 special cards mark the equinoxes and solstices. The power of the Sun, the Earth and the seasons is buried deep in our psyche, our beliefs and our culture. This spectacular deck encourages us to use this intuitive knowledge to enrich and guide our lives.
Pack contains 76 spectacular cards and a 184-page illustrated book.
The Secret of the Runes
R160
Translated by Guido von List
Edited by Stephen E. Flowers
The runes are said to have “revealed themselves” to von List, uncovering a complete cosmology and esoteric understanding of the primeval Teutonic/Aryan peoples, and becoming the cornerstone of his ideology. No other work so clearly and simply sets forth the full spectrum of von List’s fantastic vision of a mystical philosophy based on Germanic principles.
