Reprinted with a newly designed cover, Runelore offers a complete picture of the Runes.

Green Rûna
From the late 1970s to the early 1980s Edred Thorsson produced a significant volume of material which was published in rather obscure Ásatrú or Odinist journals such as The Runestonein the USA and the Raven Bannerin England. Additionally, the then fledgling Rune-Gild published a number of shorter works. All of these would have likely ended up as virtually "lost" if they had not been collected and edited for publication in this volume. The Contents Include: Holy Signs: Threefold and FourfoldA Curious Curse FormulaThe Uthark Theory and the TarotReincarnation in Ásatrú"Fate" in ÁsatrúThe Rite of the Sumble Euhemerism in ÁsatrúThe Germanic Idea of the HolyThe ArmanenschaftA History of German Runic EsotericismPersonal Authority and Odian Ethics This volume also contains a short biography of Edred Thorsson- who became not only the most influential writer and leader in the Northern Renaissance in North America, but also, inevitably for a while at least, its most controversial. This biography sheds some early light on what the controversy was all about.
Witchdom of the True
This is a study of the history, lore, religion and magic of the Vanic branch of the Germanic way. Its contents will prove of extreme interest to those of the Wiccan path or modern witchcraft, for it is in the way of the Vanir, or Wanes, that their roots are to be found. From a manuscript originally titled "True Wicca." "This is an exciting book, and a breath of fresh air in a field that long needed the windows and doors thrown open!" -- Stephen A. McNallen, AFA
Taking Up the Runes
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.
