Runework authority and author Edred Thorsson, explores the riddle of the runes. Combing historical lore with a detailed investigation, Runelore focuses on the esoteric aspects of the runic tradition. In Part One, Historical Lore, Thorsson uses archaeological evidence to explain where the runes come from, what they mean, and how they evolved. In Part Two, Hidden Lore, he takes a more psychological view of the runes and looks at the entire cosmology of the Old Norse to explain the role runes played and how they were used over time. Included are specific sections on rune magic and divination, rune poems, runic numerology, and concise explanations of the mysteries of the 24 runes. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Thorsson goes over many different areas in this book. Everything from the different ages of runes including contemporary, historical magic and divination, runic codes and poetry, as well as cosmology, numerology, and psychology points. Thorsson gives us all this and more in this book.
Though this book is a great plethora of information, I found the author's writing to be a bit of a downer and monotonous to read. He seems to just spit out facts and not really liven anything up in any sort of way. The book reads like a very straightforward textbook.
I think I would only recommend this book to somebody who really wants to get down to the nitty-gritty of Rune lore and all the elements comprise thereof. (
