Runes : divination or simple Nordic alphabet ?
Résumé
Runes fascinate both history enthusiasts and lovers of esotericism. But what do we really know about these angular signs ? In Runes : Divination or Simple Nordic Alphabet ?, the author retraces the origin of the Futhark, from its earliest Roman era inscriptions to the discoveries of 2025. You will discover knives marked with the name of their owner, memorial stones raised by Vikings and sticks carved in Oslo. The book also demystifies the so called runic oracle by showing that no medieval source mentions divination by runes ; it was the New Age movements of the 1980s that turned the alphabet into a fortune telling game. Supported by recent archaeological research and a complete bibliography, this work offers a clear and nuanced analysis. It highlights the heritage value of runes and invites readers to distinguish authentic history from modern reinventions. Publisher : Five Minutes - Collection : ESSENCE.
