The runes have deep resonances within the pagan Norse world of gods and goddesses, giants, dwarves, warriors, and wizards, which have greatly influenced the work of J.R.R. Tolkien, among others. Norse tradition attributes the discovery of the runes to the “All-Father” Odin – a god of inspiration and secret wisdom and the mythical prototype for runecasters, who established the pattern for gaining his knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNordic Runes \u003c\/em\u003eaddresses three major areas: Runelore, the history of this 2000-year-old Norse oracle; Runestaves, the meaning of the individual runes of the Elder Futhark alphabet and their powerful mythological, magical, and practical lessons for daily life; and Runecasting, a comprehensive guide to the oracular application of the ancient runes, including their crafting, divination, and self-development. As \u003cem\u003eNordic Runes\u003c\/em\u003e shows, the runes do more than simply reflect the path of fate; they help develop and enhance intuition.
