    A Solid Runic Foundation
  

*by F***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2016*

When you find an author that discusses esoteric topics with clarity, simplicity, and above all, experience and knowledge, you know you have found a good author. When that same author offers academic references and clearly stated personal opinions, you know you have found a great author. Mountfort falls under the second category.I really appreciate Mountfort’s efforts to include a variety of different sources when discussing the Runes. I definitely got the feel that he is well researched and practiced and not just regurgitating what others have said.I like his writing style and honesty. Rather than paint some mystic associations he is down to earth and practical. His main intention is to introduce the divinational aspects rather than the magical and developmental ones. Though, he does offer a little bit on these as well.The authors correspondence section of the Runes gives us some traditional names, sounds, imagery, and definitions, as well as, the traditional poems associated with each Rune, their meanings, keywords, and myths/legends related with them. The myths and legends part I really liked. This is by far the best introductory book on the Runes I have come across.This is the fifth book on my suggested Rune Reading List:1. The Complete Illustrated Guide to Runes by Nigel Pennick2. Way of the Runes by Bernard King3. Runes: Reading the Past by R.I Page4. Runelore: A Handbook of Esoteric Runology by Edred Thorsson5. Nordic Runes by Paul Rhys Mountfort6. Taking up the Runes Diana L Paxson7. Runecaster’s Handbook Edred Thorsson8. Poetic Edda by either Hollander, Crawford, or Larrington9. Prose Edda by Jesse L. Byock10. Hávamál Meditations: Embodying Oðinn’s Teachings by Frodi Ingsson (forthcoming)11. Runes of Transformation by Kaedrich Olsen12. Helrunar by Jan Fries13. Runes and Magic by Stephen E. Flowers14. Rune Yoga: Embodying the Runic Energies by Frodi Ingsson (forthcoming)15. Rune Workings: Meditations and Rituals by Frodi Ingsson (forthcoming)

    Exciting read, not historically accurate from a researcher perspective.
  

*by J***O on Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2019*

This is a very well written book. It is very exciting and informative. Please keep in mind, that this book comes from the perspective of modern day ideas and beliefs of the magic and value and usage of the ruins from the modern day practitioner perspective. The book does not necessarily come from a evidence-based scholarly perspective on the historical usage and meaning of the runes. The author is obviously a modern-day practitioner or supporter of pagan mysticism. Not to say that this book is bad or wrong but it is definitely written from a modern day view of the runes and the mythology related to them. If you want a scholarly resources for research purposes this book might not be for you. However, there are some really great scholarly research-based books that better encapsulate the actual historical usage and believes of the Norseman of the past.

Excellent rune book. This is the 3rd or 4th different rune book I've gotten over the 25 years or so I've been reading runes. My last name is a rune and my ancestry is Nordic/Germanic so this is a passion of mine. I even have the whole runic alphabet plus a few bind runes tattooed into a design on my back. I got to see authentic ancient rune carvings in Sweden in 2010. This Nordic Runes book is an excellent mix of history and useful info for throwing readings. The author really knows his stuff, so it's not dumbed down, and it's a great choice for the experienced rune reader. Yet it's not too complex and confusing for someone just starting out. I paid full price for this. I was not given a product discount for an honest, unbiased review, or compensated in any way.
