Svenson's runic practice is firmly rooted in understanding the Norse literary texts and respecting the deities they depict.
Book Description
Pierced by the Light was written from the heart and with feeling to express one individual's point of view on how the Norse Archetype can be perceived as a personal guide to life and living. I make no claim to be a leading authority on the subject but I have endeavored to advance some new material as well as some older familiar themes which should appeal to all those of you who are seeking their soul identity by walking in the steps of their ancestors a way of life we call today the Northern Tradition. There is a huge selection of New Age books on the market about the runes today, filled with at best conjecture or even the author's personal esoteric belief system. Others put out a mix and match reconstruction of different magical disciplines, which are a far cry from the actual usage and actual purpose or reasoning why these ancient archetypal symbols came into being. Many have had to rely on re-hashed rune works, which are inaccurate to say the least! Very little is actually known about the true origins of runes. So much work is still needed on expanding their kernel rune forms and values to the times when runes were still a living tradition.
