Taking Up the Runes
Description
An accessible, in-depth exploration of the runes as a living spiritual tradition. Diana Paxson has distilled her many years of experience working with the runes into this essential source book. Readers will learn the historical meaning of each individual rune and its use and meaning now, in contemporary culture. But, Paxson reveals, the real power of the runes comes from internalizing them and using their symbols as sources of wisdom and power. At the end of each chapter are rituals and spells for all levels of ability that aim to help internalize the attributions, meanings, symbolism, and use of the runes. Everything regarding runes is covered in this definitive workbook, from the history of runes and how to make your own rune sets, to how to work with them on a psychic, spiritual, and magical level.
Why We Carry It
Diana Paxson's is the deep one. Historical meaning and current use for every rune, then rituals and spells at the end of each chapter so the symbols go inward rather than staying on the page.
Who It Is For
Anyone treating the runes as a spiritual tradition rather than a card substitute. Expect to spend a year with it.
