See where your future lies with Norse Divination, the only book designed around the Norse gods themselves rather than the Futhark. Through concise yet detailed analyses of these deities and their relationships to each other, you'll gain a deep understanding of your past, present, and future. Join Gypsey Teague on a divine journey into the Norse pantheon. Along the way, you'll learn how to use the gods' beliefs, customs, loves, and deaths to create your own 36-piece divination set. Gypsey guides you in making a set, reading the pieces in their past, present, and future positions, and applying their wisdom to your life. Each Norse god, along with important mythological items, has a dedicated chapter outlining who they are, what their role is, and how they can help you find greater happiness and success.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"Norse Divination is a breath of fresh air in what has become a largely stagnant field. Gypsey Teague has created and tested a thoroughly modern system of runic divination in which the diviner departs from the more typical meanings extrapolated from the rune poems, and instead enters a realm of story.? In this incredibly intuitive system, the reader is taken on a journey through a realm of Holy Powers, cosmology, and eschatology...Gypsey's style of writing is no-nonsense and to the point. Easy to read without losing any depth of meaning. She's upfront about her sources and her instructions are thorough. The end result is a highly workable modern system of divination and something truly creative."-Cat Heath, author of Elves, Witches & Gods
