The Runes are ancient, based in nature, related to archetypal forces and the natural cycles once followed by our pagan ancestors and celebrated in such festivals as Beltane and Samhain; festivals still preserved in part, as the author relates, in the Church calendar.
In this first ever publication to deal exculsively with runic time cycles, Nigel Pennick is a persuasive advocate of a new way of approaching the modern world. He discusses the place of the runes in the Northern Tradition, looking at its attitude to destiny and free will and relating its cosmology to modern physics. The book goes on to discuss the origins of the runes as well as the esoteric numerological significance of traditional divisions of time, space and money.
The significance of the planets and the fixed stars in the Northern Tradition is described and the runic birthchart explored. Runic cycles, biorythms, weather cycles, even stock market cycles, all are discussed and contribute to the unique character of a book which, on a broader level, is about the incredible pattern of time cycles operating in our universe.

With the Gothic alphabet, each character possessed an individual meaning that emanated partly from the spirit of the age, partly from the conscious and subconscious of the man creator of the alphabets, and partly from the realm of spirit that is as undefinable as the many words by which it is described. Gothic divination has no overall ruling text, only individual meanings and associations without giving a fixed, textual, association. This flexibility and freedom within an agreed framework provides us with a powerful tool to investigate every area of human experience from an otherworldly perspective. This is the power that divination gives us. It is up to us to use it wisely, for the good of all.
The symbolism of the runes is detailed together with their place in pre-Christian society — the pagan world view. Detailed descriptions of each of the eight runes of Freya’s Aett, Haegli’s Aett and Tyr’s Aett are given with divinity, religious symbolism and spiritual meanings etc, based on The Anglo Saxon Rune Poem. Also included are details on how to make your own set of runes, how to cast the runes for divination and the use of rune magic.
The book concludes with descriptions of the gods and goddesses of the Aesir and Vanir, their myths and legends and the seasonal cycle of festivals in the Northern Tradition. The theories regarding Hyperborea and the ‘Atlantis of the North’ are explored together with the concept of duality in Indo-European religion the Web of Wyrd and the Norns, Saxon/Norse paganism and traditional witchcraft.
