Synopsis

Working with the Anglo-Saxon Runes’ is one of the first commentaries on the Anglo-Saxon Rune Poem written from a pagan perspective. Although there is a section on divination, its main focus is on the hidden meanings within the Rune Poem itself. Taking each verse as a separate chapter, Tylluan Penry introduces the reader to the rich tapestry of Anglo-Saxon life, beliefs, history and legends. Here you will find beer cellars and gaming boards, singers of songs, fine horses, boats and wandering souls. The result is a truly magical combination of wayfaring and wyrd. Using comparisons with other Anglo-Saxon poetry and the language, she reveals the deep themes that run throughout the Rune Poem. To ensure that nothing is missed, she presents here a fresh translation of the original Rune Poem. The book is well referenced throughout with a full bibliography and index for ease of use. Working with the Anglo-Saxon Runes is not a simple guide to divination, it is a guide to the spiritual life itself...
