About the author

Donald Tyson is a Canadian from Halifax, Nova Scotia. Early in life he was drawn to science by an intense fascination with astronomy, building a telescope by hand when he was eight. He began university seeking a science degree, but became disillusioned with the aridity and futility of a mechanistic view of the universe and shifted his major to English. After graduating with honors he has pursued a writing career.

Now he devotes his life to the attainment of a complete gnosis of the art of magic in theory and practice. His purpose is to formulate an accessible system of personal training composed of East and West, past and present, that will help the individual discover the reason for one's existence and a way to fulfill it.

Reviews

[Matal “The Mischling Princess” Baker · Rating 4 out of 5]

Donald Tyson’s “Llewellyn’s Truth About Runes” is a basic introduction to runes. The author is a good writer, but the charts included in the book are difficult to understand. If the chart had been clearer, this book would have been more helpful.

The author provided a clear history and use of runes, given the book’s brevity. Overall, this book is a good start to understanding runes and rune usage, but it would be a disservice to use this book as a be-all-ends-all book on rune lore.
