Everything Under the Moon

Hi my best friend and I are swapping divination tools. I'm giving her a tarot deck, and she's giving me a rune set (she's never been interested in divination until now!) okay..so what websites, books, and techniques do you all suggest for my beginning into the world of runes?

Taking up the Runes, by Diana Paxson...is essential,........ and anything by Edred Thorsson


Odin hanging from the yggdrasil tree, here's a stanza from the poetic Edda:

I know that I hung on a windy tree
nine long nights,
wounded with a spear, dedicated to Odin,
myself to myself,
on that tree of which no man knows
from where its roots run.

after those nine nights he see the runes

Thank you!

Just thought I'd let you know I started to read that book last night and I love it! Thank you for telling me about it Now I can't decide on if I want to make runes or buy them..
