5.0 out of 5 stars
The best source of information on the subject.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Rune Power: The Secret Knowledge of the Wise Ones (Earth Quest) (Paperback)
I've never written anything like a review before, but after I finished this book I searched the internet for more and ended up here. If you need anything that even resembles correct information this is the book for you. The practical exercises are very informative and it was a well written, well researched and inciteful subject. I learned the runic alphabet in a matter of minutes. And broadened my horizons dramatically. I've read other books on this subject,and this one leaves them all in the dust.

excellent,
By A Customer
This review is from: Rune Power: The Secret Knowledge of the Wise Ones (Earth Quest) (Paperback)
This is my absolute favourite book on the subject of runes. It is clearly written, very well laid out, and very informative. I don't claim to be an expect on Norse history nor Asatru, and I don't feel I or anyone else needs to be to benefit from the runes. In response to a previous review, I would like to add that I think in mentioning Native American practices, Mr. Meadows was attempting to demonstrate the similarity of the runic system to the Native American medicine wheel. He shows the runes as more of a circle of life, a 'cyclical process', as opposed to seemingly random (at least to me) attributions. This was tremendously helpful to me in being able to see 'the big picture' of the runes. This book details a complete system and structure to the runes that makes perfect sense to me, has meaning for me, so is therefore valid TO ME. Each person must decide for him or herself what is meaningful and useful to them. No one else can define that for them. To sum it up, this is a book I never want to be without. I also recommend Freya Aswynn's 'Leaves Of Yggdrasil'.

Not very Norse,
This review is from: Rune Power: The Secret Knowledge of the Wise Ones (Earth Quest) (Paperback)
This book is okay for someone not into Asatru or wanting to study Norse magick. The author concentrates too heavily on "tree-hugging" concepts and there is too much comparison to Oriental and Native American traditions. If you want a book on Runes from someone who knows, I suggest "Runelore" by Edred Thorsson.
