Runes and the Power of Women. Secrets of Northern Mysteries

The book by Freya Aswynn is a classic work on the secret meaning of runes and working with the ancient alphabet, inspiring many people around the world to explore runes and delve into the mysterious and harsh world of Scandinavian... mythology. This is the first book on runes written by a woman, celebrating the feminine principle and matriarchal culture — a source and repository of secret knowledge and sacred runic practices. This book will tell you: • About the role of women and matriarchy in the Northern tradition. • About Scandinavian mythology and the symbolic meaning of the Elder Futhark runes. • About the author's method of studying runes and divination. • About the runic calendar, its sacred meaning, and how to work with it. "For me, as for many of my colleagues, this book was the first key that opened the wonderful world of runes and runic magic. Thanks to its lively language and accessible presentation, the world of runes became even more appealing. It is important that Freya Aswynn approached the runes already possessing both life experience and extensive knowledge in esotericism, which allowed her to talk about the Northern Tradition not only as a part of ancient culture but also as one of the contemporary life paths we can take in our self-improvement. The book is interesting for its practical developments and the experience of living with runes, which all subsequent generations of runologists look up to and utilize.” — Olga Korbut, runologist, creator of the MagicLife school, author of the book “Runes. Theory and Practice of Working with Ancient Forces” Freya Aswynn is a leading British specialist in the history of runes, runic magic, divination, and consulting with the help of runes.
