Runes for Beginners

Everything You Need to Know About Reading, Interpreting, and Casting Rune Stones

The nature of runes is obscure. This is because the term rune derives from the Old Norse word Runa, which means "secret," and is likely derived from the Proto-Germanic "runo," which means "secret" or "whisper." Because they are old symbols, the runes have little meaning to the untrained eye. 

However, with effort and a little expertise, you may use their magical powers to bring about tremendous, lasting change in your life.

Nonetheless, what precisely are runes?

Nordic Runes were thought to be magical symbols that spirits used to communicate with humans. Runes are not simply a writing system but also inscribed stones used to cast magical spells, cast divination, and even lend power to ordinary writing. 

Runic knowledge has been handed down through the ages, and it is an essential type of divination for contemporary pagans.

Best-selling author and practitioner Alaric Gregory delve into the history and mythology of Icelandic runes and their practical applications in divination, magic, and witchcraft in Runes for Beginners. 

Runes for Beginners is written for those who have no prior knowledge of Norse mythology or pagan mythology, heathenry, or paganism. It is written with individuals just beginning their journey into the Viking spirit in mind.
