Nordic Runes: Understanding, Casting, and Interpreting the Ancient Viking Oracle By Paul Rhys Mountfort

Paul Rhys Mountfort presents a practical guide to the runes as an oracle based on the ancient Norse runic alphabet. He explains the symbolism and divinatory meaning of the 24 rune staves and gives instructions for crafting your own rune stones.

The book places the runes within the Norse wisdom tradition of gods, giants and wizards, including Odin, credited in myth with discovering them, and notes their influence on writers such as J.R.R. Tolkien.
