Title: My rune library Post by: Grymdycche on March 17, 2011, 12:51:38 PM I'll have to start on some reviews soon, but in the meantime, here's everything I have, in no particular order except how I recall them as I type this!
Share time - let's see what you have as well. BTW, I have two little rune books that came with sets of runes, I won't include these as they're much akin to the LWB - "Little White Book" one gets with tarot cards.
As of this writing, I'm currently reading Rudimentary Runelore, which is excellent, by the way. I haven't yet read "Taking Up the Runes" or "Intro to English Runes", the latter of which is a wholly scholarly work. Everything else has been read cover to cover. I can't say any of them are bad, though I'm most fond of: The Rune Primer, Rudimentary Runelore, Complete Illustrated Guide to Runes, and Nordic Runes. I used to have one that was given to me, called "The Celtic Runes"; actually, the runes covered in this book were the Anglo-Saxon Futhork, which was a bit different than your normal Elder Futhark, but anyway, there never was any such thing as "Celtic" runes. Needless to say, I threw that one out in the garbage where it belonged -another new age author trying to cash in on runes and understanding nothing of what they were writing about.

Good, solid, academic and historic research, but really kinda dry, too. Might not be to everyone's tastes, unless you have a thing for history. |
