The Complete Guide to Runes by Wayne Brekke
I received a copy from Callisto Media, Rockridge Press through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
If you’re interested in runes and are learning or looking to learn how to read them, then this is the book for you! Inside you will find a pretty good guide covering everything from the known history to the guide itself. I took a class on runes last year, and I think this is a great supplemental book to go with what I learned in that class. It also appeals to my love for learning history because the opening covers what is known about the history of runes as well as the differences between the Elder and Younger Futhark.
All in all, I found this to be a pretty good guide. I like that it also encourages one to make their own rune set if they wish, but it also teaches about what types of rune sets to look into based on your needs and how you plan on reading them. I also like that it teaches the multiple ways one can work with runes, which isn’t just about reading rune sets. I think this is an excellent book for beginners as well as people further in their rune journeys.
