Format:Paperback
This is an excellent reference manual as well as cracking good read for anyone interested in the Runes. It covers all Rune variations, meanings and spreads etc. Furthermore, it goes beyond rune casting and meditation to include runic yoga and numerology... It certainly has a place on my bookshelf.

This is a great book for someone making the leap from beginner to expert, as far as working with the runes. I have been studying the runes for over ten years now - reading dozens of rune books, and this has been one of the most detailed.
Lots of illustrations, and quite a lot of information on the history of runes, such as their evolution into different futharks & their many uses by different cultures.
Another great book by Pennick is Magical Alphabets: The Secrets and Significance of Ancient Scripts - Including Runes, Greek, Hebrew and Alchemical Alphabets, which has some of the same rune information.

The Only Rune Book You Will Ever Need
24 Sep 2000
Format:Paperback
Anyone who likes history and is interested in runes should look no further. This book contains everything you would ever want to know about the history of runes. This one book also provides information on how to make runes, how to read the runes, and of course, how to use them. There are no overly religious overtones as there are in some books about runes that for me take away from the pagan mystique. Also, the illustrations in the book are excellent which aid in learning the runes. If you don't like history and prefer to simply know how to use them, not a problem, just skip ahead in the book.

Excellent work
11 May 2007
Format:Paperback
This is one of the very few books about runes, written from an esoteric perspective, that shows respect for the history and traditions of the North. The majority of rune manuals merely use the symbols as a vehicle to carry an author's New-Age message, without any research into the historical facts.
Pennick is a bright exception. His many years as an active Pagan has given him a real respect for Pagan and Heathen traditions. His scientific background has given him an eye for detail, and an ability to dig up the facts.
Although it does contain sections on the "rune yoga" daftness, and some other New-Agey stuff, these can be ignored without diminishing the quality of the book.
The quality of this glossy tour of runic lore is unique. I would recommend it as one of the best introductions for those interested in the runes, whether for divination, or as part of their heritage.
