Weiser Books, 1983

Groundbreaking but Incomplete
In general I think that this is a must-read for those studying runic magic. As some others have pointed out, the commentaries on the Runes in this book are somewhat influenced by the Armanens, and this influence is less noticeable in Thorssons later works. My general recommendation is to read his work "Runelore" either first or alongside. However, what sets Futhark apart is that largely ...

The Invincible: An Outline of Germanic Philosophy

Guido List

Runa-Raven Press, 1996

A must have for List students
Quite an eye opener, for those who are interested in Runes and the work of Guido von List. Covers thought around the periphery of the era. I must say, quite unexpected and enlightening!

Northern Magic: Rune Mysteries and Shamanism (Llewellyn's World Magic Series)

Learning from this book
This is my principle book that I am learning from. For one it is far more accurate on runic magick and magick in general than any Wiccanized book that I can find. People say this guy is a Satanist so they freak out and run but frankly I could care less what one's personal religion. The fact that this guy knows his stuff is beyond doubt. Yes he makes some errors but everyone does this...As for him ...

The Nine Doors of Midgard: A Complete Curriculum of Rune Magic (Llewellyn's Teutonic Magick Series)

Llewellyn Publications, 1991

Excellent Text!
Hail! The person below knows absolutely nothing pertaining to the nature of the Odinnic Path, which as both "shining" and "murky" qaulities. I own the revised addition, and I have not read any references to the Temple of Set(although the Temple of Set is a good organisation for those who *choose* to go in that direction). However, this book is an excellent guide to visualisation, concentration, ...

Weiser Books, 1987

Great
This book is divided in two parts. First part, Historical Lore, presents a history of the runes in a more realistic, scientific view using examples form archaeology to support certain hypothesis of how the runes where invented (examples of runic writing with explanations are found throughout the book especially in the first part). The first 5 chapters of the book are chronologically organised and ...

Siegfried Adolf Kummer, Edred Thorsson

Runa-Raven Press, 1993

An important work for many reasons
In order to understand why this work is important, it is important to understand the context under which it was first published. Kummer was a German nationalist who published this book a few months before the Nazi takeover and the subsequent persecution of the Volkische, or Germanic Revivalist, groups at the hands of Himmler. Kummer was, like many of his time, extremely racist, and this book ...

Fire & Ice: Magical Teachings of Germany's Secret Occult Order (Llewellyn's Teutonic Magick Series)

5 reviews
S. Edred Flowers, Edred Thorsson

Llewellyn Publications, 1995

Extremely Intriguing.
This book is well worth the cost, and to those who appreciate the topic along with the author's insights, the book is worth it's weight in gold. In this text one will learn some of the history and practices of the Fraternitas Saturni. Very little information is available on this subject and Flowers has been quite thorough in compiling a book on this topic from what limited resources are ...

Runecaster's Handbook: The Well of Wyrd
Edred Thorsson in my opinion is the best author for anything to do with Runes or Northern culture and magic. I have been studying Runes and Northern culture for 10 or so years now and his books are the only ones I have come accorss that strip things back to the beginning. The information in his books is probably the most accurate and truthful information you will get anywhere. I recommend his ...

The Truth About Teutonic Magick (Vanguard Ser)

Edred Thorsson

Llewellyn Publications, 2002

A Good Introduction to Teutonic Faith, Troth & Magick
Although "Teutonic Magick" is a book of few pages, Edred Thorsson has put a great deal of information into these pages. Herein one finds details of: > The key deities of the Teutonic Religion (Woden, Thor, Freya, Frigga, et.al.) > The divine realms of Yggdrasill > The 24 Runes of the Elder Futhark > .... And much more. This book is clearly intended as an introduction for those who ...

Rune Might: Secret Pratices of the German Rune Magicians (Llewellyn's Teutonic Magick Series)

Edred Thorsson

Llewellyn Publications, 1989

I paid $60 for it - It was worth EVERY penny!
Why, why, why, why doesn't Llewellyn reissue this book!?! I borrowed and read a friend's dog-eared, tattered, well-loved copy and just HAD to have one of my own. It is THE ultimate source book on rune yoga/armanic runes and an excellent overview of the German occult scene in general. As an Armanic practitioner, I must say that anyone who turns their nose up at the armanic runes or rune yoga ...

The Book Of Ogham : The Celtic Tree Oracle

Edred Thorsson

Llewellyn Publications, 1992

Fascinating!
This is the first book I've read on the subject of Ogham and I'm far from an expert on the topic but from what I can tell this is a great introduction . There is a LOT of nonsense regarding various "pagan" traditions in print today but Thorsson tends to be a person you can trust to do the historical research and let the Tradition speak for itself. The thought and practices of the ancient Celtic ...
