For such a small book, the author covers a lot of information. She begins with a description of runes followed by the history and different types of runes. I agree with her suggestion to study one rune at a time to avoid confusion and keep a rune journal. She suggests runic dance or yoga and includes a bread recipe with an apple alternative for a special ritual.

 

Ms. Chauran provides a very thorough interpretation of patterns in a runecast. She describes using Finn’s Window which for me is associated with the Ogham. I love her thought that a rune reading is more like a choose your own adventure book than a crossword puzzle. There are many interpretations included based on the context of the query which is very helpful to beginners. I actually wish I had a list like this when I was learning the runic systems. The exercises at the end of the book are great ways to work closely with the runes. This is a great book for a beginner or anyone that would like to see another perspective.
