Reviews

[Matt · Rating 4 out of 5]

A great short essay on the revival of Teutonic Magick from the late 1980s. Today the traditions it touches on are much more vitalized but this pamphlet gets at the roots of the revival in a short concise and clear format. Includes basic instructions for beginning practice with the Runes and Icelandic Stave Magick. A great supplement or introduction to the topic, especially in its historical context.

I've read a few books by Flowers/Thorsson now and this book comfortably reminds and organizes those talking points as a basic overview. It's a tiny book, simple language and print, with a title "the truth about...". This honestly feels like I'm reading a book intended for Scholastic publications, and maybe it was. It's nice to get a "here's what it is and how it works" without having to think very hard or decode very far.

Short but has lots of good info and even reveals how runes were really made magically.
