A Practical Guide to the Runes. Their Uses in Divination and Magick. Lisa Peschel

My wife recently found a set of Runes she liked at an Occult shop, but they didn't come with any accompanying instructions. So, I picked up a copy of "A Practical Guide to the Runes" by Lisa Peschel. This is a helpful and easy to follow book, with basic information on Rune Divination and Magick.

EIHWAZ the yew, URUZ the wild ox, KENAZ the hearth fire. Created by the Nordic and Germanic tribes of northern Europe, the runes began as a magickal system of pictographs representing the forces and objects in nature.

With over 200,000 sold, this guidebook will help you discover the oracular nature of the runes and how to use them as a magickal tool for insight, protection, and luck.

Ragnarok (2013): Archaeology and Norse Legend

Ragnarok. 2013. Archaeology. Norse Mythology

Directed by Mikkel Braenne, and written by John Kare Raake, Gaten Ragnarok (2013) weaves a legendary snake creature from Norse mythology as the terrifying cause of the Viking apocalypse. The story centers on a Norwegian archaeologist, who comes upon a stone map that leads him and his team (including his two children) to Finnmark, and a northern "no man's land" that was the sight of a cataclysmic attack that wiped out a Viking expedition in ancient times. The special effects are lacking, but the subtitled plot maintains it's interest. The cast is good, including Pal Sverre Valheim Hagen, Nicolai Cleve Broch, Bjorn Sundquist and Sofia Helin.
