Editorial Reviews

Product Description

An examination of the origin and meaning of the Runes, this book shows them to be a system that even today is still able to produce positive effects. D. Jason Cooper looks at how pre-Christian Germanic rune alphabets were used for both magic and ordinary writing. He studies their history and associated mythology, describing their role in magic, godforms and astral projection, and demonstrates how to carve, colour and use runes for fortune-telling. Furthermore, the book demonstrates how the runes can be used for divination and problem-solving, and to that end gives a variety of methods for spreading and casting the runes. By the author of "Understanding Numerology".

3.0 out of 5 stars Ineresting and practical but not exhausive., June 4, 1998

By	[e-mail] (Athens, Georgia, USA) - See all my reviews

I found thsi book to be very intersting, especially at first as it was the first book that I read concerning the Runes. As time has passed and my experience and knowledge has incresed, I question some of the interpretations and practices that Mr Cooper gives in his book. Let me give a little example. For the rune Jera he uses a different shape, one that I have not yet found anywhere else. Apart from some differences, like the given example, I find that the book "Using the Runes" by D. Jason Cooper to be valuble and I do not regrett that I bought and read it.

sincerly yours
