Product Description

Product Description
The Runes are the ancient script of the Norse world. These simple, angular letters cut in stone, wood and metal can lead us into the world of the distant past, revealing knowledge and insights as relevant today as they were 2000 years ago. "The Way of the Runes" explains: the ancient Runic world - its mythology and religion; how to make your own set of Runes; detailed meanings of the individual Runes; Runes in your daily life; the runic clock, Runecharms, coded messages; and how to use Runes for healing and divination.

About the Author
Bernard King lives in Northampton, England, and has been a student of the runes and ancient mythology for more than 25 years.

4.0 out of 5 stars More than Divination, 17 Aug 2002
By A Customer
"Whether any increase in the reader's personal knowledge eventually takes place depends upon the author's lucidity and the reader's faith in the material presented. This in turn relates ultimately to the readers faith in the author."

Bernards amenably caustic style edifies in a proficient and commanding manner. The reader is led from a brief introduction of the author onwards to an informative and interesting investigation from the origins to the future of the Runes.

Having a liking for rhyme I enjoyed the Runatál Charms. The exploration of palindromes was thought provoking and led well into the explanation of runic numerology, repeated runes and runic number sequences.

Bernard advocates fashioning your own runes. A chapter is dedicated to this purpose, pragmatically advising the would be Runemaster that the sharpest tools should be used because the wood will work more willingly and in the event of an accident a jagged cut from a blunt tool may take longer to heal.

Bernard was lucid, I had faith in the material because it was well presented and an increase has occurred. An enjoyable read for those (like myself) with no knowledge of Runes and a book to lead the more practised to a greater depth of understanding.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Runes, 20 Nov 2008
By G. Golding "Daw" (Derbyshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is one of a few rare books that firmly places the runes into their historical context for magical use. It is NOT a New Age rune book and I find myself returning to browse it time and time again. Mr King bases his evidence and arguments firmly within authentic heathen tradition with very little wild speculation and 'contamination' from other magical traditions common in many other books on the subject. Lucid and well written without being too complex. The only down side is the poor section on celebrating Heathen festivals, but this information is widely available in works by Gundarsson and Wodening to name the best, and this is a book about runes, not heathen festivals. All in all a great addition to the vitki's book hoard.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bernard kings way of the runes, 10 Oct 2004
By Brenda McKenzie (Bournemouth, dorset United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This is a book for serious students wishing to learn about the mythology and religion of the ancient Runic world.It is very in depth and some of the online courses insist on students using this book as part of their course work. A very good reference.
