Review: A Solid Runic Foundation - When you find an author that discusses esoteric topics with clarity, simplicity, and above all, experience and knowledge, you know you have found a good author. When that same author offers academic references and clearly stated personal opinions, you know you have found a great author. Mountfort falls under the second category. I really appreciate Mountfort’s efforts to include a variety of different sources when discussing the Runes. I definitely got the feel that he is well researched and practiced and not just regurgitating what others have said. I like his writing style and honesty. Rather than paint some mystic associations he is down to earth and practical. His main intention is to introduce the divinational aspects rather than the magical and developmental ones. Though, he does offer a little bit on these as well. The authors correspondence section of the Runes gives us some traditional names, sounds, imagery, and definitions, as well as, the traditional poems associated with each Rune, their meanings, keywords, and myths/legends related with them. The myths and legends part I really liked. This is by far the best introductory book on the Runes I have come across. This is the fifth book on my suggested Rune Reading List. While not on my suggested read list, I also encouraged you to get Rune Correspondences by Frodi Ingsson so that you can add things that are meaningful to you as you learn more about the Runes. 1.

Rune Workings: Meditations and Rituals by Frodi Ingsson (forthcoming) Review: Well written and informative - I just finished reading this book and I am really impressed. Only a small part of the book is about the "how to" of rune casting, which is how it should be. The book covers a lot: the ancient historical origins, commentaries on 19th and 20th revivals, and commentary on how much of rune lore today came from BCE, to name just a few subjects. I was particularly impressed at the treatment of the various translations of the runic texts and meanings, allowing the reader to choose the most accessible way to use the runes. As a history major, I loved the first part of the book that went into the Norse tales of Odin and the Norns, so much so that I went to Barnes and Noble and picked up a couple books on Norse myths and legends to read up in further detail. I highly recommend this book to novice and seasoned rune casters alike, a real joy to read! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0051OHLNO | | Accessibility | Learn more | | Best Sellers Rank | #893,058 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #26 in Divination with Runes #108 in Paganism #298 in Folklore & Mythology Studies | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,497) | | Edition | Original ed. | | Enhanced typesetting | Enabled | | File size | 2.8 MB | | ISBN-13 | 978-1594777653 | | Language | English | | Page Flip | Enabled | | Print length | 322 pages | | Publication date | May 5, 2003 | | Publisher | Destiny Books | | Screen Reader | Supported | | Word Wise | Enabled | | X-Ray | Enabled | ## Images ![Nordic Runes: Understanding, Casting, and Interpreting the Ancient Viking Oracle - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81nPQIFMf9L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Solid Runic Foundation *by F***N on January 16, 2016* When you find an author that discusses esoteric topics with clarity, simplicity, and above all, experience and knowledge, you know you have found a good author.

It is a balanced book that covers the history, the individual runes, and divination. It is very readable. In Rune FB groups, this is one of the books most often suggested to beginners. I have a number of books, but always come back to this one. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/102652438-nordic-runes-understanding-casting-and-interpreting-the-ancient-viking-oracle](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/102652438-nordic-runes-understanding-casting-and-interpreting-the-ancient-viking-oracle) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
