I am truly blown away by the incredible beauty of this book, and I can't wait to start my own personal journey through the runes. The cover is just a small insight to the magic that is weaved delicately through each page. This knowledge is something that few in the past have been able to obtain, but now, because of the undeniably dedication of Eiríkr Haf Úlfrsson the new world can once again meet with the old.

I am new to learning about the runes, except for what I have learned from the author here and there. I did an unboxing of my books and everything I opened blew me away. The color choices of the books, the font, the pictures, the small details that one might miss if they aren’t looking for them. The footnotes are so helpful. The way that this is written aby someone who actually studied the topic immensely and not just went to school and is a professor on the subject makes me want to soak it up even more. I started reading Book One, The Red Book, and I am 30 pages in and it is so immersed with knowledge that my mind is asking me to keep reading and never stop. Eirikr, my friend, I hope the pen never leaves your hand because you are an amazing author and I can’t wait to continue soaking up your amazing wisdom on the runes. Thank you for blessing us and sharing this with the world.

I can't say enough about the amazing quality of this Rune Deck that was designed by Larisa, a.k.a. Boss Lady and Inspired by the man himself Eiríkr Haf Úlfrsson. These runes that he created are a true work of beauty and intelligence. The wolves that accompany the runes is breathtaking. The wolves seem like they are going to pop off the card and come to life. Very well done by the Artist and Creator. Look for my reviews on the remaining Runabok, A Journey Through The Runes Items coming soon. hgcx

I've been studying runes for a few years now, diving pretty deep into everything from the Elder Futhark to the Younger Futhark, Anglo-Saxon, and Icelandic variations. I've also explored rune history, rune magic, and collected several books on the subject. When I picked up "Rune Casting: Observations Through A Modern Lens" by Karin Dahlstrom, I wasn't sure what to expect but it turned out to be a solid addition to my collection.
What I really appreciated about Dahlstrom's approach is how she handles rune reversals. She makes the point that "a reversed rune is not automatically negative," which is refreshing compared to alot of the doom & gloom interpretations you see out there. Her example of Berkana reversed as "protecting what you have rather than expanding" shows a more nuanced understanding that comes from actual practice.
The section on casting methods was particularly useful. She emphasizes that "the casting surface and your intention matter as much as the runes themselves." This kind of practical advice seperates books written by actual practitioners from more surface level guides. I also liked her recommendation about journaling your casts, tracking "your emotional state, the question you asked, and how the reading resonated days or weeks later" has helped me see patterns I wouldn't have noticed otherwise.
One thing I respected about Dahlstrom's writing: she doesn't pretend to have all the answers. When discussing Dagaz, she presents different perspectives on whether it can be reversed and lets readers decide what resonates with them. That kind of intellectual honesty is something I value in books about divination and magic.
Overall, "Rune Casting: Observations Through A Modern Lens" is a worthwhile read for anyone looking to deepen their rune practice. It's encouraged me to be more intentional with my own work, and I've found my readings becoming more meaningful as a result.

Haven't read the book yet but the contents are adorable and simple. I love getting pens and highlighters. Also the book list helps me keep track of my books.

I am so excited to start these books later this winter as I’m deep in my Runabok series right now. They look and sound so good. I love all the extra goodies that come with it too. Such an amazing touch of your truly a book need. Lol.

Krampus brought me some lovely books that I can't wait to get into, as well as some fun stocking stuffers. (No coal). Extra bonus has come in the ribbons that wrapped the gift have been great toys for my cats. If I have the money available, I would so get this again.

I know the individual books were gorgeous, but the Full Color Edition blew me away. I know it’s the same information but from the beauty of the cover to the pictures in the book and the crisp white pages it is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!! Boss Lady you did good on this surprise. I am so glad I decided to order this for my collection as well. My signed Full Color Edition James Bond 007 will be cherished forever and will not be used for my learning purposes to preserve its beautiful state as it will be a very sought after book in the future and I will be proud to say I have 1 of the first 9 copies. Thank you Eirikr for writing and sharing your knowledge with us.

Amazing as always!

Have had this book a little over 24 hours now and haven't been able to put it down. I've read half the book so far and it is very informative. It's packed with information and very easy to read and understand. I've learned more about the runes from this book in the last 24 hours then I have the last few years reaching on the internet. With so much misinformation on the internet, this book is a must-have. The author did an amazing job.

Absolutely brilliant..

The Rune Master's set was (is) absolutely incredible. Tons of extras! loved those too! It was definitely worth the wait. I hope to see more from Eirikr! Now, it's time to read and learn.

To receive a beautifully wrapped parcel is a highlight of its own. Then to find the prophecy cards in their own box, each card handcrafted and the very informative booklet explaining every card's prophecy is stunning. Anyone interested in Norse Gods and their history would love this little masterpiece.

TLS does it again!! Amazing!
