MY FOUR OLD RUNE BOOKS

If you look for books on the Runes on Amazon, there are dozens to choose from, most are terrible books wrote by followers of the witchcraft or other new age cults not connected to Odinism.  Most of these books are a waste of money and written by people like Silvia Hill who have perverted the Runes to earn money, their aim is greed not to spread wisdom and knowledge. Let me be very clear, if you don't worship the Asier, don't honour the gods correctly the secrets of the runes will never be revelled to you. The Runes and the Asier gods are linked, and the English and other Germanic people are linked to both through our ancestors and genes.

I have four old books on Runes on my bookshelf and I used to own a copy of  Diana L Paxtons book,  but it was so bad I threw it in my dustbin.  This Berkley liberal has sought to mislead people for a long time. Paxton has caused more division and falsehoods then any other person in Asatru. In next couple of weeks I am going to do a post on Paxton and expose her for who she really is. Please don't waste your money buying her book . 

I think the worst book I bought was Ralph Blom book with a bag of plastic rune tablets made in a factory in China,  I paid a pound for it in a charity shop, and it was a waste of a pound. The sad thing is his sold thousands of copies and misled thousands of people about the true nature of he Runes. Blum is a Jew from California his not a Odinist and  has no understanding of our faith. The book  has a nice cover and start with a preface by Marlon Rayner another Jew from university of Hawaii who has no knowledge of our faith spouting rubbish.  It is the gods who grant insight not Ralph Bloom and his childish book. The  second book I own, is Jason cooper book is not too bad, its quite basic but for a introduction book to Runes,  if you can buy it cheaply in a used book store. It's worth buying. The third book is  The Runes by Andy Baggott, this is another book I regret buying because like Blums book it is utter rubbish. Baggott claims to be a shaman in the Celtic tradition, so once again not a follower of our gods .He claims all Runes are associated with a Herb colour and Stone what ancient writing told him this I don't know ?  let me give you few examples, Odal rune colour is yellow and its linked to Herb clover and stone Ruby ? why he doesn’t explain.  The Thorn Rune is associated with house leek's, Tyr Rune with Coral gemstones .There is not one example of the Runes being associated with plants or colours or stones like Coral its just BS. It's made up by followers of various witchcraft cults, who are not followers of  our ways. But it gets worse, he writes  about making an offering to the trees; what does he suggest a bucket of compost, water ? No salt !! what tree or plant wants salt !  Bagshot is another person who is not part of our faith and is trying to earn money buy ripping people off, with a book that is full of nonsense . Please if your buying a Rune book check if the person is a follower of the old faith and beware of people who are publishing books on crystals wicca and Runes because it's a clear sign that they are pumping out books for money .

The last book on my shelf is a well read and starting to fall apart ive studied it's contents so much  this one I would recommend Futhark A hand book of Rune magic by Edred Thorsen this is a man who really understands the Runes and how to unlock their magic. Thorsen's real name is Stephen Flowers and his written several Rune books a few of which I've read and all are worth buying. His one of the nine great Rune teachers of the Wolf Age in my view.

The doctrine of the Runes  should be regarded as mythological philosophy of nature based upon the correct belief in magic but developed far beyond the limits of religion. Ive never experienced a dream or had a vision. Ive been studying Runes, for over 40 years and believe I know as much about the Runes as any man or woman alive ,but ive never developed any real power the books that promise you that your be able to read and understand the Runes are liars. Here's the danger if your still learning and you cast a Rune spell that is not wrote correctly it will have the reverse effect . So please be careful.

 Ive only meet 3 or 4 men who  truly had the power to read the Runes. Wulf of Woden's Folk is one of the few men initiated into the knowledge of spells, curses and charms that can be invoked by the use of Runes. this is the power that the Runes hold for true Rune master like Wulf.   In my experience woman have a different nature and are able too connect to the spirits in a way few men can. Freya Aswyn is one such person many people recommend her books. she got expelled from the Troth a few years back for being a racist and has since kept a low profile.  Casper Odinson Crowell   is also someone with a deep knowledge of the Runes. While his book  VOR FORN SIDR covers all aspects of Odinsim it also has a large section on Runes and is worth buying and studying. Casper is a former enforcer for the Ayran Brotherhood who served decades in California's most brutal prison's , his now a free and leads the Sons of Odin  all of his book can be bought on  Amazon.
