Throughout this volume, the author seeks to answer the question, “Why would anyone use or spend time studying the Armanen runes today?” At a time when most Heathens and followers of other pagan pathways have embraced the Elder Futhark for everything from divination to tattoos, such an endeavor appears untimely indeed. Today the Armanen runes remain unknown to most. For many who are more informed, it is little more than a better-forgotten footnote in the long history of runes. For others however, it is the foremost esoteric rune system—one imbued with power for positive internal and external transformation.

Van den Andel takes a fresh look at the esoteric rune system derived from Odin's book of wisdom, the Hávamál. He considers this system from a magical perspective and works to square the hidden rune messages both with the traditional rune poems and with Germanic mythology. He aligns himself with those who are unsatisfied with runic pop-culture and simple exoteric explanations for the profound mysteries that are the runes. Throughout this analysis he demonstrates awareness of alternative ideas about the great mysteries of our world and cosmos. He embraces a wide range of ideas and remains open to those that seem fantastic and beyond our normal comprehension. He argues that those who seek beyond the mundane and easily explained are likely to embrace the magical practices of those enlightened to this esoteric rune row. Here the seeker will find a wide range of practices from meditation and mantras to chakras and yoga.

The author makes the case that the Armanen system provides answers to the mystery of the runes unlike any other rune row. He makes the case that this rune row, far from being the invention of a single mind is supported by the ancient wisdom of the various traditional rune poems. For those seeking the mysteries, willing to explore the old secrets, and willing to eschew contemporary taboos, there can be no runes that better satisfy and provide answers and profound benefits. Readers will discover a Germanic mythological tale that takes them chronologically from the dawn of time in Ginnungagap to the heavenly rebirth of Gimle. They will also recognize a story of their own lives—from birth through life to death and rebirth. Finally, for the initiate seeking rune mastery, the runic tale reveals itself as an instructive course that teaches the secrets of the runes and maps a path of discovery and wisdom. Van den Andel reveals a powerful esoteric system that may be beneficial to any who seek personal growth, transformation, and healing.

A powerful meditation that offers in depth insight into the runes
I bought this book on release date and am only writing my review now, because I was sitting down with this book constantly! While reading it, I felt a great deal of understanding for what the Author clearly and easily understandable describes. I decided to work with this book and do my own meditation on the runes and as a matter of fact will in the future use the Armanen runes for my divination. An amazing book that I can only recommend to anyone, new or familiar with Nordic runes.This is also the second book I read from this author and thought it is of a different nature it drew me in even more so than his first book. I really had an amazing experience with it!

"Hail the givers!"
Written by a seasoned practicioner and competent thinker who possesses a talent for connecting the levels that constitute the mystery of Runa, this book is a definitely a most welcome addition to the steadily expanding field of Armanen Runes.
Here, the mythological background of the Runes is gracefully fused with the practical and personal and presented in an original way and it is a pleasure to read.
Thanks to the author and publisher.
Alaf Sal Fena!
