Sixteen Rune Futhark

This detailed textbook of Norse Way magic introduces the reader to the main concepts and practices of Gothic or Germanic magic. The English, Germans, Dutch, Icelanders, Danes, Norwegians and Swedes are direct descendants of this ancient Germanic culture. Author Edred Thorsson teaches that if you are interested in living a holistic life in body-soul-spirit unity, you will find the key to knowing your spiritual heritage in the heritage of your body - the natural characteristics you have inherited from your distant ancestors. Most readers of this book already "speak the language" of the Teutonic tradition.

Norse magic contains material that has not yet been discussed in practical terms. This book outlines the ways of Norse magic and the character of the Norse mage. It explores in depth the theories of traditional Norse psychology (or soul culture), as well as the religious tradition of the troth and all of Germanic theology. The remaining chapters form a series of "mini-grimoirs" on the four basic magical techniques of the Nordic path: the runic magic of the Younger Futhark, Icelandic Galdor staves, Pennsylvanian hex signs, and "seith" (or shamanism). This is an excellent overview of the Teutonic tradition, which will interest both neophytes and long-time pilgrims on the Nordic Way.
