Summary: For those who want to learn the history and the basics!
Review: I chose this book because I don't like anything satanic (which many runes books protray), and I don't want a "watered-down" version either, so I figured this would be my best bet. It has great pictures, many interpretations of the runes, the history behind it (because I think that's very important). This book is suited for those who just want the facts and still worship God!

Summary: What are runes?
Review: The Complete Illustrated Guide to Runes By Nigel Pennick

This is a good rescource to learn the history of many rune systems and their meanings. It explains the runes of 5 different systems: Elder futhark, Anglo-saxon and northumbrian runes, Younger futhark, Gothic and medieval runes, and the Armanen runes, and goes over the meaning of each individual rune and why it means what it does.

This also goes over rune use through out history, what runes are, and an almost endless amount of different uses for the runes.

I RECOMEND this book FOR deciding what rune system you might want to use, or just good facts on what runes are whether or not you belive in or want to use them.

I am NOT a neo-pagan or involved with wicca or any spiritual group. I am not religous, THIS BOOK REVIEW IS MY OWN OPINION ONLY. This does NOT mean that you have to agree with me. You might love the books I listed above, I don't have a problem with that. We each have different prospectives and opinions, my review in No Way should be Your Opinion.
