very poor, sample readings are needed to make this workable to the beginner and none are provided.
Look elsewhere.

As a beginner, I found this book easy to read with excellent concise information for such a small book. The size of the book has benefits too as It is easy to carry around for reference purposes and fits in your pocket. I'm not sure if it's too basic for more advanced users but for me it is an excellent starting point.

I have studied runes for several years and thought at first that this book would be a waste of time. It is a very good beginner's book but it can also offer insights unexpectedly to those with more experience. It is practical and very accessible. The divinatory meanings are useful, not always my understanding of the runes, but each person sees them differently. The suggestions for making runes of various sorts are good although some of the tables at the back are a little odd, being more to do with standard wicca than Norse practice. On the whole a very useful book.

This small slim volume has all the information that a beginner needs to make serious headway into the study of Runelore. It is equally usefull to those with more experience due the remarkable clarity with which the author presents her information. Rune meanings, casts, bindrunes, correspondences and magical rituals are all covered. I have spent double the price of this book on larger publications that provide half the information that Ms. Peschel conveys in this one small volume. Many may balk at her inclusion of Blum's blank rune but even here the author clearly acknowledges that it has no historical basis and that it's use is, like all runic practice, a matter of personal intuition. An invaluable volume for any student of the Runes, you simply cannot go wrong with this book.

This book is perfect and easy. The explanations of runes within its pages are perfect for the beginner as well as the veteran. The refrence tables in the book for magick works are also one of the best I've seen so far. Though small and compact, this book holds a king's ransom in runic knowledge and no one should pass up the opportunity to get it.
