"The Runes are a pan-European magical language whose roots lie in the pagan beliefs of ancestors who built many thousands of stones circles, long barrows and dolmens throughout ancient Europe. These same symbols and techniques were used by the pagan Celts and Germans. This book is a complete manual of magick based upon their arcane symbolism and secret techniques. For this new edition much of the text has been rewritten and updated, new sections added and others elaborated with more detail."
