About the Author
D. Jason Cooper was born December 9, 1957, in Fort Erie, a small Canadian town, but grew up just across the border in Buffalo, New York. In 1977 he moved to Perth, Australia, and lives there with his wife Sue, daughter Shadra, and son Darius.
He has been interested in the philosophical, occult, and metaphysical since late grade school. He is a voracious student of occultism, Paganism, and new age philosophy and is the head of a small esoteric group, the Companions of the Phoenix.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Controversial, but I like it.,
By CB Sunny@aol.com (Chicago) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Esoteric Rune Magic: The Elder Futhark in Magic, Astral Projection and Spiritual Development (Llewellyn's World Magic) (Paperback)
Cooper's background in wicca and thelemic magic "corrupts" the runic content of this book according to critics. However, I find that his explanation of the aettir very meaningful in both divination and magic. I also found the astral projection section to be similar to my own trance travel while using runes as focal points. I keep this book close to hand and refer to it often, and I've quoted it in my website on runes.

More fluff from Llewellyn,
By Lauren (Buffalo, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Esoteric Rune Magic: The Elder Futhark in Magic, Astral Projection and Spiritual Development (Llewellyn's World Magic) (Paperback)
If you've read anything published by Llewellyn in the last ten years, you pretty much know what to expect from this. A cutesy cartoon cover designed to appeal to the teens and stunted young adults that form Llewellyn's core audience. The Norseman on the cover is the runic equivalent of Silver Ravenwolf's "Barbie on a broomstick". Information that is inconsistent, unsubstantiated, or unexplained (for example the author does not spend any time telling the reader why the given names of the runes do not correspond to most other books). Writing at a sixth grade reading level at best. Llewellyn has managed to insult my intelligence - indeed, that of all self respecting Witches and occultists - yet again. So why two stars instead of one? Only because there is nothing in here that will cause harm to the newbie. Even so, you are better off sticking with Thorsson.

This review is from: Esoteric Rune Magic: The Elder Futhark in Magic, Astral Projection and Spiritual Development (Llewellyn's World Magic) (Paperback)
I have written a few very positive reviews of the runebooks I have collected over the years. Unfortunately, this is not one of them. Try as I might, I can not get past the poor writing, lack of basic research, and plain New-Age fantasy.
What little useful information may be sprinkled here & there within its pages is made worthless by the sheer nonsense of the context in which it sits. If you want a companion to take you off with the fairies, this may be for you. If you are looking for something actually based on the historical runes, there are plenty of much better books to choose from.
