Runes for Beginners: A Guide to Reading Runes in Divination, Rune Magic, and the Meaning of the Elder Futhark Runes (The Divination Series: Tarot, Runes and More)

Very informative and easy to understand. Clear insightful explanations of each stone. Highly recommend this guide.

Very. Good for beginners made a great gift

I found this book to be thoughtfully written, engaging, and incredibly beginner-friendly. The author does a wonderful job of laying out the meanings of the runes without overwhelming the reader. If you're just starting out or looking to deepen your spiritual connection to the runes, this is a solid place to begin. What really stood out to me was how the book gently introduces both the mythological roots and historical context of the runes. There’s a clear respect for the Norse and Germanic traditions, and the connections to gods, cosmology, and ancient symbolism are woven in with care. While it doesn't dive deeply into academic detail, it gives a meaningful glimpse into how runes were once used — not only for divination, but also for communication, ritual, and magic. The writing feels accessible without being overly simplistic, and the tone is warm, reverent, and grounded. That said, it’s definitely written for those newer to the practice — more advanced readers may find it too introductory. Overall, a lovely and soulful entry point into the mythic and energetic world of runes, ideal for seekers, mystics, and curious minds alike.

Good informative book, a lot of background information and how to use runes

My boyfriend’s family is kind of big on Nordic culture. They have heritage from that part of the world and look the part as well. My boyfriend has been kind of leaning into the “Viking” thing at the will of his family and they all got matching runic tattoos. They also enjoy axe throwing and each have a ceremonial axe that they keep. I noticed he was really showing interest in learning more about runes so I bought him this book for Christmas. He flew through it in couple of hours and really enjoyed it. He held onto a lot of information from it and found out that the runic tattoo that his family “made up” actually might not be great 😅 and could be a binding rune for misfortune had it actually been done correctly on him and “spelled” correctly (the artist made a mistake and didn’t lengthen some lines which changed the character to either something different or jibberish?). Either way he really enjoys the book and it offered some cool insight into runes that he found useful.

It's a really nice book. It gives u a first sight on the runes. Easy to digest and understand

I’ve recently gotten back into my witchy self and thoroughly enjoyed reading about runes. Simple to read and easy to understand. Highly recommend!

This really helped me understand how to get started with runes! It was well written and thorough, while also acknowledging alternative meanings and perspectives. It’s a great foundational book.

The book is looks quality and has well cover. I just check intro for now. İt is explaind the runes not deeply historicly but its fine. I will recomment after book finished.
