Discover the power of ancient Nordic runes with this beautifully presented book and deck.
According to Norse mythology, Odin, the chief of the gods, hung himself in self-sacrifice from the world tree Yggdrasil for nine days and nights in order to receive cosmic wisdom. This was granted to him in the form of the runes. The runes make up an alphabet that, with local variations, was used across most of northern Europe from pre-Christian times until the thirteenth century. The word rune is derived from Runa, an ancient Germanic word meaning whisper or mystery.
The Runes Box explains the meanings of the runes and mythology that underpins their basic concepts. Enclosed in a handy hardcover case so that the wisdom of the runes can be carried with you at all times, you will find:
Approach the runes with a benevolent instinct, an open heart, and an honest spirit, and truths will be revealed to you.
