The runic futharks contain the secret wisdom of the pre-Christian cultures of northern Europe. While the runes have been used as letters in Norse writing systems, they also hold deeper significance as symbols of the mysteries and tools of divinatory and magical practice. Séléné explores Norse mythology to trace the physical origins of the runes as well as their mystical and secret nature. Drawing upon the “Hávamál” and Eddas, she invokes the Aesir and Vanir deities with the runes, allowing them to interact in revealing ways. Each card, illustrated by Thyonesca, represents either a rune or a god. The guidebook provides interpretations for each card while contextualizing the rune or god within its mythological and magical setting.
