The Greater Mysteries of Nordic Spirituality
The runes are a system of magical symbols that can be used for divination and casting spells, both to harm and protect. While these uses of the runes are powerful, David Linder focuses on a deeper and arguably more significant level of the runic mysteries—the magic of self-transformation.
The runes of the Elder Futhark are 24 facets of the great Mystery, which is translated as Runa. Each rune serves as a distinct interface that allows access to certain aspects of the great Mystery in order to heal, to reconnect, and to transform oneself. To grasp a rune is not just a matter of intellectual understanding, but a task of expe- riencing it physically and spiritually. Linder reveals how the lived experience of grasping a rune’s meaning is an initiatory step toward realizing one’s higher self and coming closer to the great Mystery.
The author draws upon the Prose and Poetic Eddas, as well as the Anglo Saxon, Norwegian, and Icelandic Rune Poems to explain each rune. These source texts show how Nordic spiritual- ity is more concerned with the practicalities of mundane life than dogmatic codes. Linder contextualizes the meaning of each rune for our time and reveals the concrete opportunities for growth that each rune offers.
Advanced Rune Magic teaches methods to incorporate the runes into your daily life as tools for both contemplation and self-trans- formation, showing how simple applications can produce tangible results. While these methods can enrich one’s magical and spiri- tual practices, they will also lead to improved daily functioning, a stronger sense of purpose, and overall well-being.
