Nigel Pennick Libri

A comprehensive sourcebook containing all you need to know on the history and mythology of the rune, through to the meaning of each rune and how you can benefit from them today

Using the premise that languages and the alphabets that comprise them are metaphorical microcosms of our world, Nigel Pennick demonstrates how various alphabets function as a metaphysical description of reality. Magical alphabets actually enable seekers to experience a transformative process. This inner transformation is one of the main objectives of all esoteric traditions, and it can be accomplished by using any of the alphabet systems described in this book.
