4.0 out of 5 stars
AMAZING! :),
By Volmarr Wyrd (Round Lake Beach, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Power of the Runes Deck (Paperback)
The artwork seems very true to the traditional meaning of the runes very much! With scenes that do a great job of showing the runes within there cultural system properly in most cases. Certainly the best set of runecards i have seem. The only card that really misses i think is Mannaz (it just looks very vague). All the rest hit exactly on! The only other complaints i have are things that are not true to the Old Norse culture; such as in Jera the clothes the people are wearing looks more like what farmers in the 19th century or later would be wearing (seperate tops and long skirts for the women). Also on Ingwaz the god Inge-Frey has small horns (as in the wiccan horned-god idea) which is incorrect for Frey to have. He is not the same as the Wiccan idea of the horned god. Another thing i don't like; in Ehwaz the rider of the horse has cheesy horns on his helmet. No vikings EVER had horns on there helmets! But i must say, all the cards are stunning and VERY intense and powerfull! They really reflect the meanings of the runes in a amazing way! I wholely recommend these cards to anyone! They have a VERY Old Norse feel and vib to them (except those things i noted)! :)

Great price, impressive images,
By Rich the Writer "Nietzsche had it right!" (United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Power of the Runes Deck (Paperback)
This deck is among the most stirring rune decks that I have in my collection.The images are nothing short of breath taking, and excellently inspired. If they had full sized movie posters of these cards for sale, I would buy each and every one of them. The price is wonderful. The information booklet leaves a wee bit to be desired, but with many other fine volumes available, this point is negligible. in closing I would highly recommend this deck for anyone with an eye for artwork as well as an interest in divination.

Great for Cards with the Runes,
By Jason Nadeau (Raymond NH USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Power of the Runes Deck (Paperback)
I usually prefer to read the runes as stones, wood carvings, and other methods but if you're looking for a deck of cards with the runes this is a good deck. The accompanying book is very basic, and they include an extra card with Yr which is not part of the Elder Futhark. The card artwork is very good and the names of the runes are spelled out in runes at the top of the card, which is a great touch leading towards deeper understanding of the rune. Overall, very good.
