cheryl horgan: I have had a set of runes continuously for over 35 years, and thought my mum might like a set… I was correct!! She loves them!! The first rune she drew had meaning for her, which she did not expect… She was sold on them!! The Ralph Blum book is the only guide I have ever used, and absolutely recommend this set to anyone who is open to a bit of guidance in their life..
I am so happy with this purchase…
Thank you!!!

Stefan Mierke: Das Buch enthält sehr gute Informationen über die Runen, ihre Bedeutung. Die mitgelieferten Runen sind schön gearbeitet, mir gefallen sie aber nicht, da sie auf Steinen sind und nicht auf Holz. Ich finde die Runen auf Holz / Horn oder Knochen fühlen sich einfach besser an. Natursteine wären auch noch schön gewesen aber dieses Material erinnert an Schleifsteine.

Ms C A: I was really glad to finally get this book, having fond memories of this classic. However slightly disappointed that I didn't get those smooth pebbley runes that I knew. These runes don't have the same feeling. They are white, sharp edged and feel rough to the touch. Missing that tactile comfort of the old set. However always was a classic on runes, and the white book is prettier..after Tolkien maybe

Wily Girl: This book and set came out in 1983. They were given to me by my Grandmother when I was 13 and I've read them since then. Mostly for myself and a few close friends. Sometime after that I heard Mr. Blum talk about them in the basement of a small book store in Minneapolis. After that I made my own set from white clay. Consider this your starter set.
The the book is the "bible" because the integration of ancient wisdom is amazing. They have been such a strong influence on my life. I purchased this set for my roommate, who is 74 and very curious about them. I left her alone to learn on her own, just like I did. Next summer we are going to walk down the arroyo and pick up enough stones for each of us to make a set. The reason that I have read the runes for over 35 years is because they simply take you out of your situation and see it from a different perspective. The daily rune is something everyone should do. A rune journal is also a great way to keep record of your journey. There are so many ways to integrate the runes into your life.

L. J. Graham: The myths, tales, songs that come down to us from this ancient culture in surviving bits and pieces were part of a spoken tradition passed down through the generations, probably suppressed and squashed as subsequent cultures/languages came and went before written language was the norm. ( I credit the Romans for wiping out those pre-Christian cultures) That means most of what we "know" about the Runes is based on historical/anthropological research by "experts" , personal opinions/bias, New Age shill craft and plain old whimsy. This just seems to support the notion the ancient past doesn't have the corner on Seeing and Oracles, which makes the Runes alive and fascinating to me! . A friend had this little book and I enjoyed the interpretations for the runes which were different from the interpretations in the other books I had. Also this set of stones had an extra stone, a blank stone (with an interpretation) and the Ingwaz stone looks different in this set...one x on top of another instead of the box they create at their center. Blum's presentation of the stones is also ordered differently. It is a small book, physically and content wise, concise and to the point. While all the...

Gayle K: I have a much older version that is very well used and loved. I don’t know if there is are any changes in the new one. I. Use this to gain insight by pulling out a rune and meditating on what I have drawn. Always gives me something to think about and possible insight and inspiration
