Elder Runes: A Novice’s Guide to the Elder Futhark

For more than 1,500 years, the Elder Runes have held a hallowed place in Norse lore. Equal parts alphabet, learning tool, record keeper, and sigil, they have carried the Scandinavian tales of gods, heroes, and giants across the centuries.

Today the runes remain a living tradition. This guide is your introduction to their history, their meanings, and the practice of modern rune casting. Each rune of the Elder Futhark is explored in detail, with a short history, an interpretive overview, a touchstone for guided meditation, and questions to ask during a reading. You’ll also learn simple one-, two-, and three-rune spreads, including the author’s own Crossroad Runes.

Begin here and develop a personal approach to the art and craft of casting, one that deepens your connection to the Elder Runes.
