Lokadottir: L'autrice propone un approccio particolare alle rune, delle quali non si limita ad elencare i significati senza spiegarli, come altri manuali, ma per l'appunto le esamina in modo da renderle pienamente comprensibili a chi vuole studiarle. Decisamente consigliato a chi vuole iniziare a comprendere le rune!

dharma cat: I've read a handful of books on runes, all of which were good, but this book is great. The authors ideas on the runes are fresh and new, yet gracefully tie into the basic meanings that all books cover. Also, I love that someone finally placed some importance on the feminine aspect of northern european history and magick, however, anyone, man or woman, should pick this up if you're into heathenism and runes.

Cecelia Passarella: I am really enjoying reading this book not just a cursory and superficial overview of the literal translation of each rune leter and its meaning but meaninful observations on a deeper level seamlessly woven with lore and spritual observation from the persective of a modern day volva I have several books on the subject and so far this is my favorite as it interpretation includes insights from a gentler perspective not just historical but metaphorical and allegorical representation makes you ponder the deeper well of intuitive wisdom

Tamera Bowling: Anyone who is serious about devoting themselves and studying the mysteries of Norther mysteries should read this book. Freya Aswynn explains the inner mysteries of the runes unlike anyone I have ever read, and I've read many books. However,I do not agree with her on some of her interpretations, which she encourages people to experiment on their own. I think most of our disagreements arise from the fact that she is a devote Odinist and Iam a devote follower of Freya and a student of Seidr magic. I recommend books by Eddred Thorssen as he seems more I tune with the femin

WychElme: I was slightly put of by some of the negative feedback on the book being rather Wiccan. But I did buy the Book, and I love it. I felt it gave a different insight to the runes, I learnt a few snippets that I will definitely put into my practice. The only Wiccan approach I can really point out, is that there is a Wheel of the Year inside, with 3 runes appointed to the 8 festivals, I don't personally see anything wrong with that, I'm not Wiccan by nature and Don't follow the Wheel of the year, but for some people that have a fondness for the runes and would like to incorporate them into their more modern practice then It's a nice little touch. There is also a correspondence chart inside that gives the runes a God/Dess, element, Colour. Which again is not very Norse, but it's a nice Modern touch. And I think if we are keeping our Ancestors Knowledge alive then all is good.
Worth buying.

Stefanantoni: Interesting trivia and facts that really explain the meanings of the runes and the Northern Mysteries that they are founded upon. This is the first book that I bought to figure out why all the Wicca 101 books talk about runes or divination but really left me with tons of 'why should I bother?' type questions.
Freya explains each Aett (group of eight runes) and then ends the chapter with a synthesis relating it to Norse mythology. It really filled in a lot of blank spaces that the other books and my christian upbringing could never explain, which always left me with the feeling of unfinished business.
I ordered the book and the CD (that accompanies the book--sold separately) at the same time. I am still reading and have not given the CD more than brief attention, but I think it will definitely be worth the time.
I have already started a list of some other books that were mentioned at the end of the book.
Well done!
