Runes: An Introduction by Kim Farnell

Runes are an ancient alphabet that have been used for thousands of years as a form of communication and divination. According to Norse belief, the runes were given to Odin, the father of creation. The word rune derives from the Proto-Germanic form runo, which means “a secret or mystery.” The runic alphabet is known as the Futharl, and this book, written by an authority on divination systems, shows readers how to read and interpret its twenty-four runes. The author also explains how to carve and consecrate your own set of runes.
