Everything You Need to Know to Begin Working With Runes The enigmatic nature of the runes is undeniable. In fact, the English word "rune" comes to us from the Norse word runa, which means "a secret," or "to whisper." As symbols, the runes mean little to the untrained eye, yet the magical energies they activate can be used for positive, impactful change in your everyday life. But what are runes, exactly? On the surface level, runes are the characters in a writing system used by the ancient Germanic peoples of Europe. But unlike our modern letters, the runic symbols had been used for magical purposes long before they were fashioned into an alphabet. This is known from runic inscriptions found on ancient artifacts as well as Germanic myth and lore handed down over the centuries. Indeed, those who work with the runes today are taking part in an age-old magical tradition established by our Northern European pagan ancestors. In Runes for Beginners, best-selling author Lisa Chamberlain shines the light on these ancient symbols, showing you how to discover and utilize their unique magical energies. With both an eye toward tradition and a multicultural spirit, Lisa combines an appreciation for the Germanic roots of the runes with a more eclectic Neopagan approach. Unlike many other books on the topic, Runes for Beginners is completely accessible to those with no experience in Northern European magical traditions, yet it doesn't ignore those traditions altogether. You will emerge from this guide with a basic understanding of the runes' role in ancient Germanic paganism, as well as a solid foundation of knowledge to build your own runic practice, regardless of your religious or spiritual path. Foundations in Runic Magic and Divination The runes represent various aspects of the human experience of the Universe-both tangible and intangible. Each runic symbol embodies a natural force, or type of energy, which the rune worker can attune to and then manipulate in various ways. Runes can be sent out into the Universe to manifest a magical goal, or they can be used to consult with the unseen realms about a situation at hand. In Runes for Beginners, you'll learn all you need to know to start working with runes, including: The history of the runes and their role within the framework of the Germanic magical worldview The origins of runic wisdom in Norse mythology An overview of the Elder Futhark, the oldest-known runic alphabet and most widely used rune system in contemporary Neopaganism Basic techniques of rune magic, including rune scripts, bind runes, and creating runic talismans How to make your own runes Instructions for traditional rune-casting as well as contemporary rune spreads Tips for successful divination The divinatory meanings and magical uses of each rune in the Elder Futhark A suggested reading list for further exploring the runes and the magical and spiritual traditions of the ancient Germanic peoples Detailed tables of correspondence for a handy condensed magical and divinatory guide By the end of this guide, you will have a working knowledge of the runes that will enable you to use them with confidence in magic and divination. However, when it comes to truly mastering the runes, the importance of time and practice can't be emphasized enough. Indeed, working with runes can truly become a lifelong journey, but Runes for Beginners is an excellent first step along the way.

Everything You Need to Know to Begin Working With Runes The human language gives us the power to create. It is possible because we can use a different combination of words to express unique meanings or ideas. Today, it is still debated how many words are in the English language, with some sources such as the Oxford English Dictionary assuming that the official number is close to 750,000. Runes are a set of alphabets, just like the alphabets that exist in the languages practiced today. They prominently feature vertical and often slanted lines. This arrangement of lines serve a purpose, and they are: 1.Parchments were an expensive commodity back then, so writing on them was not a viable option. Ink wasn't cheap, and for that reason, using it was uncommon. Therefore, runes were carved into objects and surfaces instead. 2.Since carving was used, using straight lines was much easier than curves. 3.While using straight lines, runes avoided the inclusion of horizontal strokes, as those lines could look like the natural lines of surfaces like wood, thereby removing any trace of the line itself. No one can establish with absolute certainty when the runes originated. One of the most popular theories is that it was developed by the Goths, a race of East-Germanic people. Historians also believe that runes have taken inspiration from the Latin alphabet. While this does not narrow down its time of origin, it gives a rough estimate, placing it in the 1st century BC. In this book you'll discover: ✓ History of Runes ✓ The Power of Runes ✓ Runes of the Elder Futhark ✓ The Art of the Runestave ✓ How To Successfully Runecasting for Beginners ✓ Advanced Runecasting Techniques ✓ and much more!

Do you want to learn everything about Norse Mythology? Do you want to know about Norse Gods? Do you want to know what runes are and what their meaning is? Or how can you use them? Do you wish to know the famous Viking's beliefs and stories? The best-preserved form of the ancient common Germanic mythology, which also includes the closely related Anglo-Saxon mythology, is Norse mythology. In turn, Germanic mythology originated from older Indo-European mythology. Norse mythology refers to the mythical framework in Scandinavia during and around the Viking Age. The Nordic mythological universe is both intricate and extensive, with a creation story where the first gods murder a giant and convert his body parts into the globe. Many kingdoms spread out under the World Tree Yggdrasil's final destruction of the known world in the Ragnarök. Its polytheistic pantheon, which the one-eyed Odin leads, encompasses a large number of various gods and goddesses who were worshipped in ancient Scandinavian cultures. The book has two parts, and it includes topics like: The Gods of Norse Methodology Ragnarok Runic deviation Runes in Modern Magic Runic inscription and meanings And many more exciting topics! Runes are a collection of stones, wood, or other objects with holy symbols carved into them. Each rune has its narrative to tell. Runes may convey your life's tale, whether strewn across a surface, taken from a bag, or meticulously placed out in patterns. The earliest runic script, known now as the Elder Futhark, was developed to satisfy the demands of the newly forming languages as these dialects grew more different from the original Proto-Germanic. Runes were introduced to different runic scripts to represent new sounds that entered the languages, new runic symbols represented existing sounds, and some runes were removed entirely. So what are you waiting for? Click on the buy button and start your journey of Norse Mythology and runes!

The actual origins of the runic alphabet are shrouded in a lot of mystery. The earliest inscription is the one that reads Harja that might mean warrior or comb, which can be found on the Vimose comb in Denmark that dates back to 160 CE. This uses the runes so maturely and confidently that scholars think it resulted from about 100 years’ experience from writing the runes over this amount of time. How this tradition was created has been debated and speculated for many years. Inspirations from the Roman and Greek alphabet, along with Danish and Italic origins have been suggested. The most likely is the Greek since it does resemble a variation of the Greek alphabet. The Greek alphabet was unstandardized between the years of 700 to 400 BCE. It could have reached Germanic speakers through groups that were made up of eastern Europeans. The mythology of the Norse gives us the story of Odin and his sacrifice.
