When I began to study the runes, this is the book I started with, and I'm so glad I did. Aswynn's approach to the runes is a well balanced blend of experience, intuition, and impeccable scholarship. She does much more than give divinatory meanings of the runes: She also describes their uses in practical magick and as keys to the Mysteries. One of the most intriguing aspects of this book is Aswynn's discussion of the intimate relationship between the runes and Northern Germanic mythology. Refreshingly, Aswynn also pays a good deal of attention to female archetypes in the runes and the mythology, and she does this on a basis of sound research and reasoning. Further highlights are her analysis of the Nine Worlds of Nordic mythology and her original rune layouts for divination. Finally, I am pleased to report that this book is almost entirely free of the dreadful typographical and grammatical errors that fill so many of Llewellyn's other publications
It is hard to find good sources on Runes and Rune magic. Freya requires a bit of patience, as she likes to go off about those 'life hating Christians that destroyed our heritage', and is quite opinionated at times. However, her coverage of the subject is the best I have seen. A complete, modern coverage yet with a high emphasis on traditional methods. I was quite impressed, and enjoyed her work greatly. She doesn't just give you divinitory keys, she explains where they come from culturally so you can make those connections for yourself.
It's in my library to stay and I'm sure I'll be referring to it time after time... the history is rich and fascinating - if you're interested it, this is a good book to have... I most certainly recommend it...
downright the best book i have ordered pertaining to the eldar futhark. it is an in-depth analysis of the three aetts, and then some. i highly recommend this book to anyone that has a hunger of knowledge of northern European pagan ways.
Aswynn is a godsend to all female Asatru. We tend to get drowned out by the axe-rattling, floor stomping males of the religion, and therefore require a firm, steady voice like hers. Her feminine interpretation of runes is wonderful. She is a true Volva!
