Book on Runes: The Heathens Guide to Runes (Asatru UK Traveller's Collection)

Good read about Runes💜

The book has great references to the runes, and some short guidance on how to use them in a variety of ways. It also has detailed information about the runes and its origins. A great collaboration of different writers to build an exceptionally useful and practical book. Can't wait for the full book version to come out.

Excellent book, highly recommended

Rune books are generally nonsense mired in the author's UPG presented as fact, but this is overall very reasonable, well authored, and useful. I do think it has some elements that could be improved but it still is a useful reference that I'll be keeping around for my praxis.Pros:IT LISTS THE RUNE POEMS. The latter half of the book is nothing but listing the EF's runes with tips on divination and meditation practice, in addition to actually listing off pertinent icelandic and english rune poem excerpts for reference. Lesser resources tend to obfuscate them.Very agreeable writings on inclusive heathenry and combatting fash appropriation, something AUK seems generally good at.It's a good size for a quick reference booklet.Cons:This book only lists meanings for the Elder Futhark. This is my biggest issue, I'd have loved if it spent fewer pages on history and more on going through the half-dozen or so additional futhorc runes so it could be more inclusive of different Heathen practices.Some unusual interpretations of rune meanings and divination best practice? Pertho is a particularly weird one, the listed associations run hard counter to the rune poem.It makes a big deal out of discouraging the use of a blank rune cus it might tempt ~disaster~, which I find very weird.
