Book Description
"Long Branches" places the Younger Futhark - the runes of the Viking Age - in their historical and cultural context. Neither magical guide nor academic treatise, "Long Branches" investigates the meanings of this set of sixteen runes used throughout Scandinavia. Author Ann Groa Sheffield draws on the stories preserved in the Norse Eddas and sagas together with other evidence from Germanic literature, archaeology and linguistics to explore in depth what each stave may have meant to the people who carved these runes into wood, stone, metal, and bone a thousand years ago.

Book Description
This is the first and only book (which I am aware of) that is exclusively dedicated to a comprehensive system of bind runes created from the Elder Futhark! At a glance, it provides the following: * Easy-to-read and easy-to-use information with no expert rune knowledge required * Contains 24 black and white Elder Futhark bind runes, each with an unique stanza * Discusses the bind runes as active tools for magick, spiritual and/or self-empowerment rituals * Guidance on the purpose and use of each bindrune * Designs include additional western alchemical elements as well as a novel alchemical symbol of my own design My studies into the Elder Futhark, which have fascinated me since childhood, have been converted into a coherent system of bindrunes for everyday use without the requirement of expert knowledge. I have named this bindrune project; the Celestial Rune Sigils. It started as a set of magickal tools with which to facilitate self-improvement through the exploration of spirituality. Subsequently, I have transformed the bindrunes into a set of 24 black and white sigils, representative of their origins from the 24 Elder Futhark Runes. The sigils were initially featured on the Celestial Rune Sigils oracle deck (more details on my website) and now they have been converted into book format as well! In this book I provide guidance on the crafting, uses and invocation of the Celestial Rune Sigils. These sigils are not merely meant for use in divination, but rather they have a more active role with each sigil having a specific intention and contribution towards metaphysical, spiritual and magickal rituals. Therefore, the Celestial Rune Sigils are not only restricted to tarot readers or oracle enthusiasts. They have been created for the larger metaphysical community and would be of special interest to our energy workers and magick wielders. They are appropriate for most ages, including the very young and those who are wiser, since they can be used for both personal rituals and to assist clients during various healing and/or magick sessions. The Celestial Rune Sigils represent a metaphysical, spiritual or magickal toolbox, with each sigil representing a different metaphysical tool. Each sigil can be used in this way, much as one would use a wand, crystal or other spiritual tool. There is a lot of freedom as to how precisely to apply each card and I hope that the practitioners who make use of this book will find their own intuitive ways of applying each of the sigils during their spiritual journeys and magickal rituals. I appreciate any feedback, comments and/or reviews about this book as I am constantly striving to improve on the system and to make it relatable to all my fellow rune enthusiasts!

Book Description
Norse Runic Magick, The Meaning of the Futhark Runes Brittany Nightshade, the author of the popular "Book of Shadows" spellbook series, has released this Runic Handbook for those who would like a compact resource detailing the Elder Futhark Runes and their meanings. This simple beginners handbook is a great reference guide for anyone wanting to familiarize themselves with the meaning behind the Futhark Runes for purposes of Divination, Rune Magick, etching, or if you just want to learn more about these ancient Norse symbols. The runes are the written letters that were used by the Norse and other Germanic peoples before the adoption of the Latin alphabet in the later Middle Ages. Unlike the Latin alphabet, which is an essentially utilitarian script, the runes are pictographs of some of the most powerful forces in the cosmos. In fact, the word "rune" and its cognates across past and present Germanic languages mean both "letter" and "secret/mystery." The letters called "runes" allow one to access, interact with, and influence the world-shaping forces they symbolize. Thus, when Odin sought the runes, he wasn't merely attempting to acquire a set of arbitrary representations of human vocal sounds. Rather, he was uncovering an extraordinarily potent system of magic. The Runic Handbook covers all 24 Futhark Runes and has a section on common Nordic symbols and their meanings including the Vegvisir, Mjolnir, Yggdrasil, The Valknut, The Helm of Awe, and The Triple Horn of Odin. In the back of the book are large images of each Rune and Symbol with a blank backside for each image so you can write your own notes or even create your own Rune Magick Rituals.

Book Description
Are you an open-minded spiritual practitioner? A seeker of truth and knowledge? Someone who is willing to discuss alternate perspectives? Then this book is for you. Here within is my attempt at finding the truth behind the purpose and origin of the Elder Futhark as well as intuitively deciphering their somewhat obscure meanings. At a glance this book provides: * Discussion on how runes became a language used for divination * Modern meaning interpretations for each rune * Abstract geometric artwork for each rune * Additional western alchemical and astronomical associations for each rune * Several overview tables and references In this context, this book does not discuss the traditional meanings or interpretations of the runes, but rather more modern outlooks and perspectives on each. Instead of adding more content to already confusing and conflicting traditional/conventional meanings - I have opted for the opposite, to simplify rather than complicate. I have tried to distill the core of each rune through my studies into their history, linguistics and metaphysics in order to make clear delineations between the runes. Thus, brief mentions are made to traditional meanings in favour of more discussion around the transference of the runes into our daily lives with reference to more familiar circumstances and challenges. I am quite partial to the metaphysical symbolism of animals, plants and objects, thus this book includes plenty representations form the animal kingdom as well as everyday objects and some minor contributions from herbology. I have tried to keep to the mythology related to the Germanic tribes and to the everyday references of people living in Iron Age Europe. Therefore, some of my interpretations are similar to their traditional counterparts, but the majority of them have been cast anew. I truly appreciate any reviews, feedback and recommendations as I am constantly striving towards improving this runic body of work to make it more relatable to my fellow rune enthusiasts!

Book Description
Hail to the reader! Thank you for showing an interest in the "Learn Vinland Younger Futhark" book. So you may be wondering why I created Vinland Younger Futhark. Well, I initially started this book with the intention of only using Younger Futhark. Younger Futhark is an alphabet of Scandinavian Runes containing 16 characters, which were used around the Viking timeline. I quickly realized that this Old Norse Language was not intended to compliment such languages like modern English. No matter how hard I tried, I just could not create a good system of translating Younger Futhark into English confidently. Yet translating English into Younger Futhark was no problem. This is because one Younger Futhark character can represent several English letters. Any examples of Younger Futhark why it is not used that often in modern times. It simply just does not translate well into English. Its more of a guessing game of what seems right, rather than a confirmed translation. My goal is to revive this old language for modern English speaking people who are interested in the Norse culture. This includes bringing back Rune Stones and Grave Stones into the modern era. But we have a problem, most of the Grave Stones would be untranslatable into English. Especially important translations like names would be very difficult and time consuming. So it seems inevitable that we need to update the Younger Futhark to compliment modern English. This is why I created the Vinland Younger Futhark. I came into this project with the sole intention of not changing it, but rather slightly modifying already existing characters. This means that I did not have to create any "new" symbols for this to work. Instead I used the characters already provided and just made slight variations to represent each letter in the English alphabet. Problem solved! I found several variations of the Younger Futhark during my research. Just as people migrate and spread out, so is it natural for languages to change and update. This is true then, just as it is true now! Enjoy this ancient alphabet and lets carve a new path!
