Book Description
In these nine remarkable essays, Collin Cleary expands upon the ideas of his path-breaking book Summoning the Gods and ventures into entirely new territory: "What is a Rune?" explores the nature of mytho-poetic thought and the problem of recovering the mysteries of runa. "The Fourfold" uses Martin Heidegger's phenomenology of "dwelling" as a means of approaching our ancestors' way of being in the world. "The Ninefold" offers a philosophical interpretation of the nine worlds of Germanic myth. "The Gifts of Odin and his Brothers" unveils the inner meaning of the account of human origins found in the Eddas. "The Stones Cry Out" advances the revolutionary thesis that "openness to Being" explains the sudden appearance of art in Europe 40,000 years ago. Cleary's controversial essay "Asatru and the Political" argues that Asatru is inseparable from White Nationalism. "Are We Free?" skewers the false conception of freedom to which Westerners are in thrall. "Heidegger: An Introduction for Anti-Modernists" offers readers the best English-language introduction to the most important philosopher of the last century. "The Prisoner and Ibsen's Brand" is a sequel to Cleary's popular essay on The Prisoner from Summoning the Gods, exploring this enigmatic television series in the light of Henrik Ibsen's classic play about implacable moralism."

An Introduction to English Runes

Book Description
Introduction to the use of runes as a practical script for a variety of purposes in Anglo-Saxon England. Runes are quite frequently mentioned in modern writings, usually imprecisely as a source of mystic knowledge, power or insight. This book sets the record straight. It shows runes working as a practical script for a variety of purposes in early English times, among both indigenous Anglo-Saxons and incoming Vikings. In a scholarly yet readable way it examines the introduction of the runic alphabet (the futhorc) to England in the fifth and sixth centuries, the forms and values of its letters, and the ways in which it developed, up until its decline at the end of the Anglo-Saxon period. It discusses how runes were used for informal and day-to-day purposes, on formal monuments, as decorative letters in prestigious manuscripts, for owners' or makers' names on everyday objects, perhaps even in private letters. For the first time, the book presents, together with earlier finds, the many runic objects discovered over the last twenty years, with a range of inscriptions on bone, metal and stone, even including tourists' scratched signatures found on the pilgrimage routes through Italy. It gives an idea of the immense range of informationon language and social history contained in these unique documents. The late R.I. PAGE was former Professor of Anglo-Saxon in the University of Cambridge.
