The magic of letters is that they can record and transmit thoughts over time and space

This is a good book for someone that makes talismans or lucky charms. I don't believe that letters are going to influence your destiny. But I might make something and sell it to someone that does.

Great Book - Perfect for Reference and Learning!

I got the book for a gift, after receiving it, I love it so much, I should have ordered one for my library. Great for noobies and the experienced alike. Would recommend!

Excellent

This was the first book that I ever bought on runes. and it is still one of the best that i have read. The author gives you a good introduction with a style that reminds me of Scott Cunningham, its easy to read and has room for individuality. All at the same time remaining for the most part historically accurate, I think that the only thing that isnt accurate is the blank rune, which has little to none signifigance to the Elder Futhark and i would reccomend getting rid of it (like another reviewer said, "tear it out! ". Otherwise this book is one of the best introduction books on runes that i own. And i would reccomend this to anyone interested in runes.

A priceless guide to the runes

This book is perfect and easy. The explanations of runes within its pages are perfect for the beginner as well as the veteran. The refrence tables in the book for magick works are also one of the best I've seen so far. Though small and compact, this book holds a king's ransom in runic knowledge and no one should pass up the opportunity to get it.

Absolutely wonderful book!

This book taught me a lot about runes. Their uses in magick, divination, and in making talismans. Lisa gave a thorough and concise description of the meaning of each rune and how they read when they are spread out in a reading. This was easily the best $5.00 I ever spent!
