TAKING UP THE RUNES

An accessible, in-depth exploration of the runes as a living spiritual tradition. Diana Paxson has distilled her years of experience working with the runes into this essential sourcebook. Readers will learn the historical meaning of each rune and its use and meaning now in contemporary culture. But, Paxson reveals, the real power of the runes comes from internalizing them and using their symbols as sources of wisdom and power. At the end of each chapter are rituals and spells for all levels of ability that aim to help internalize the attributions, meanings, symbolism, and use of the runes.

Everything regarding runes is covered in this definitive workbook, from the history of runes and how to make your own rune sets to how to work with them on a psychic, spiritual, and magical level.
