Summary: THE KEY TO WHAT'S BEHIND THE FIRST DOOR
Comment: This book is REQUIRED READING for those who would dare seek true knowledge of the runes. Other books purporting to reveal the mysteries of the runes are best left to the New Agers -- this is the real deal. Be advised that even though this "introductory" text is "for beginners," it is only for those who truely wish to KNOW. There is no mass-market fluff here! Although I am not entirely in agreement with the teachings of Mister Flowers (Thorsson) and the Rune-Guild, this is, by far, the best book I've seen on the subject matter . . . better even than "Thorsson's" later books for more advanced studies. He has written a number of books on the runes, and, even though I have a working knowledge of runelore myself, a few of them were difficult to read. Fortunately, "Futhark" is not one of them. The only real criticism I have is that, personally, I find the concept of "runic postures" rather silly. Visualize them, carve them, stain them with your blood -- but don't go striking a pose! Aside from that, this was an excellent book, and I recommend it highly.

Summary: Essential text for esoteric study of the runes
Comment: This book, although somewhat dry, should be the first read by anyone undertaking an esoteric study of the runes. Historical information, such as the Rune Poems are included, as well as much of the author's own research.

Summary: A price must be paid for wisdom....
Comment: An excellent book of rune lore and interpretation. My only criticm is that it doesn't emphacise the one central fact of rune reading: you have to pay a price for the gift. Odin hung upon the great world tree Yggdrasill , a sacrifice of himself, to himself, before he was shown the runes. It is one thing to merely read this and quite another to really grasp it. Have you hung suspended with your branches entwined in heaven and your roots deep in hell? What price have you paid for wisdom? Odin gave an eye. Odin sacrificed his warriorhood and manhood by initiation into the deep seidr-magic. What price have you paid? How are you connected to the great hidden currents that rule the runes?
Are you called to offer all for the gift, or are you playing a game?
