Summary: Not my favorite
Comment: I picked this up because Thorsson is widely acknowledged as an authority on modern esoteric runeology and the northern path but I didn't get that impression from this book. It wanders off into places that feel silly or irrelevant to the subject and most of the sources he cites are his own previous works. The section on hex signs was interesting but really is not part of the northern path and would be better published as it'sown book. There is some good stuff in the rest of the book but you have to work to sift it out and you could find much of the same information elsewhere.
If you are a fan of Thorsson's work you will probably like this as well but I think I'll pass.

Summary: Excellent Book on the Revivification of Norsk Viking Magick
Comment: A few people gave trashy reviews of this fine book.The bottom line is that no one can say for sure, what the original runesters did.Edred 'Stephen Flowers' Thorsson presents an interesting modern interpretation of the ways of the scandinavian pagans of yesteryear.Many of the old building structures of northern europe,have those 'Hex-signs' highly displayed still.The christian romanisation of Scandianavia incorporated the symbols into the catholic church.And later the protestants left the symbols there,because it was so apart of their social identity.If Sweden and Norway had embraced Russian communism,the physical Hex-signs would have been removed and destroyed.I think most literate pagans would agree,this is a valuable book on the revival of the Norsk Shamanisic beliefs and traditions.

Summary: Operant Hexology
Comment: I give this book 5 stars not for its information on runes or norse mythology, but for the small chapter on the Pennsylvania Dutch Hexsigns. I am very interested in Hexology and Powwow, and read anything I can get my hands on about it. Mr. Thorsson has given the reader a basic introduction to Hexology, examples of Hexsigns, and pretty good history too. I cannot speak about the rest of the book, but buy it for the hex information if for nothing else.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great source for younger futhark runes
Comment: Edred Thorrson is perhaps the most trusted modern authority when it comes to the Runes and Northern occult tradition.

This book is a great introduction to many practices rooted in the Northern way, including a fascinating section on the only system of unique colonial American magic that I have come into acquaintance with, Pennsylvania "Dutch" Hex-signs.

Very informative and suitable for beginners as well.

Summary: Learning from this book
Comment: This is my principle book that I am learning from. For one it is far more accurate on runic magick and magick in general than any Wiccanized book that I can find. People say this guy is a Satanist so they freak out and run but frankly I could care less what one's personal religion. The fact that this guy knows his stuff is beyond doubt. Yes he makes some errors but everyone does this...As for him belonging to the Temple of Set. Sounds like a pretty closed minded way of thinking not to mention very christian in mindset to think that you shouldn't read a book from someones religion that is very different than your own.
