Muze Annotation: To those not in the know, runes are 'mystery' word/symbols, usually presented on small stones that are cast for divination purposes. In a manner similar to the I-Ching or the Tarot, they are said to guide and predict the future and recommend courses of action or areas to look at. As magical symbols (with similarities to the modern Alpha-numeric system) they can be looked at as an ancient Norse/Germanic equivalent of the Kaballah. In RUNELORE, Edred Thorsson examines the history and cultural background of the runes and the myths and lore behind them. He explains each of the 24 symbols of the Elder Futhark Traditional system and discusses their relationship to Jungian archetypal psychology. Thorsson is a well-regarded figure on the rune scene, and he provides a wealth of information and entertaining and thought-provoking insight for both the seasoned 'runester' and the curious novice.
