"""This book is an introduction to runosophy, the wisdom of the runes, and to practical rune magic. The runes are dynamical symbols that characterize hidden forces. . . . This book does not claim to include a historical description of runes or rune magic. It is an introduction to a rune magic that is constructed around practical work with the runes in modern times. The ambition, however, has been that the runosophy in this book shall be deeply rooted in historical Nordic magic."" - from the Introduction."
