I just loved this book--and the Womanrunes system. The book is a concise, but quite thorough, guide to utilizing the Womanrunes symbols for personal guidance and divination. The system itself is profoundly meaningful, yet simple to understand. The symbols are easily recognizable and easy to draw.
The author's insights into each rune deepened my understanding without competing with my own personal interpretations. She provides different ways of thinking about each rune's message, and offers questions to ask oneself when the rune appears in a reading. In addition to the extended interpretations for each rune, the book also contains a brief history of the runes, suggested layouts for readings, and other ideas for utilizing the runes in one's spiritual practice.
I have the book and cards. They are ongoing. You can pull a card for daily reflection or do a reading. I'm amazed at how spot on they are.....as though able to read your mind. I connect with them well. The interpretation s are quite lengthy compaired to other books with cards, but I quite like that.
This is a great companion for the runes. The only reason I've given it only 4 stars is the author (Molly) did something Shekhinah has said shouldn't be done, she changed the name of some of the runes. She had left a note at the bottom of rune sheet specifically asking for no changes.!
Simple, easy to read, easy to connect to and understand. Womanrunes are beautiful and easy to relate to. The words in the book are clearly chosen for their power and meaning. Highly recommended.
