It worked. By that, I mean I found the way Laura described the history, legends and meanings of the symbols helped me get the same feeling when using them that I have with tarot. The runes really started to speak to me. I could sense a kind of energetic connection as I drew them from a bag, and the readings I am now getting are spot on.
This is what publisher Cico Books says on its website:
"Runes were the writing alphabet of the Norse people, but they are not just static letters: they are dynamic energies that can help you make sense of your past, present and future. In A Guide to Reading the Runes, Laura Daligan reveals how to work with these symbols to uncover a world of ancient knowledge.
"Learn about the runes’ connection to Norse mythology and what runes meant to the Norse people. Explore each rune in depth to find out its meaning and correspondences, and discover the art of divination using runes – how to read and interpret them for yourself and others. Finally, take your learning further – from healing rituals to anointing yourself with runic symbols, as well as making your own set of runes and seeking out runic associations in nature."
I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn to use the runes for divination or magic, a section in the back goes into that too. If you live in the London Borough of Bromley, remember you can borrow a copy from a local library once I've taken it back there! You may find copies in other libraries too. I loved this book so much I've put it on my Yule wish list and hope to get given a copy to keep.
