July 31, 2022I have never read so much eclectic book about runes. So many traditions mixed together...
July 17, 2024
I'm always wary and skeptical when approaching books like this as they can come across as esoteric and the lack of references when discussing historical aspects always raises skepticism in me. However, it's quite an eclectic book with plenty of cross references with different traditions. I came to it thinking it would improve my understanding of the things I'd read in the sagas. Whilst I did find it interesting in some areas, some parts seemed over explained for a something that relies on personal governance and other areas were confusing. It is interesting to see how other people approach this in the modern age but I had to stop reading as it wasn't engaging me, I'll probably only use it for reference now as the rune meanings help and the references to different trees.
