Divination with the Runes is nothing new. That said this book is definitely a new addition to how and why the runes mean what they do and what Dieties are involved in a reading. This book is meant to used IMO. Drawing the runes on cards or going further artistically are ways to use them and encouraged. I found the Diety correspondences to the runes the most beneficial and eye opening concepts learned from reading this book. The scope of my readings went way up after reading this book and the information gleaned from it made the readings I did for myself more accurate. Excellent and new addition to runeology.
