THE BOOK
Ford, Gavin
RUNECENTRIC: An inspirational handbook of rune secrets, symbolism and mandalas
Publisher: LockDownBoox, Pretoria, 2021
Runecentric is an indispensable guide to the 24 runic archetypes known as the Elder German Futhark — an alphabet of divination and magic that has been in use for over a thousand years. The handbook is jam-packed with surprising insights into the cross-cultural interconnectedness of archetypal symbols. Runecentric will nurture a more intimate understanding and appreciation of one of the world’s most intriguing esoteric protocols, while kick-starting greater conscious awareness and empowering the reader with a sure-fire tool for creative problem-solving.
The author (former diplomat, advertising consultant and wordsmith) has judiciously collated mythological, historical, semiotic, etymological, sound symbolic, cross-cultural and intuitive insights from 24 years as a rune researcher, rune reader and workshop facilitator on ancient symbols, to weave a tapestry of meanings and gleanings in this compendium for Futhark fans, whether neophytes or seasoned shamans.
