by Chris Travers
This is the best of both worlds. You can download an electronic version of this necessary book immediately, and you will be shipped a hard copy as well.
The Serpent and the Eagle was written to be the ideal beginner’s book on the Runes. By exploring the rich lore from Germanic mythical sources as well as comparative studies, this work provides a solid basis of understanding the Runes as well as fruits of the author’s own research unavailable elsewhere.
The first part of this book is a basic overview of most important elements of Germanic cosmology. In this work, the structure of the World Tree, space, time, and social order are explored in detail as they relate to the Runes.
The second part explores the structure and meaning of the Elder Futhark using a variety of methods. The meanings of the Runes are made accessible and enough information is provided to help the seeker explore this subject further.
The third part of this book explores practice. Here one will learn how to explore the Runes using meditation, get answers to questions using divination, and use the Runes to create changes in your life. Anyone interested in Runes, whether a novice or an advanced student, will find a wealth of information and insight in this book.

Runes and Magic: Magical Formulaic Elements in the Older Runic Tradition
http://www.runaraven.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=72
Stephen E. Flowers
Originally published in 1986, based on the author’s 1984 doctoral dissertation, this volume has become the leading academic study of the topic of rune-magic. When originally released only 250 copies of this work were printed in a prohibitively expensive edition. This new revised and updated version allows more readers to discover the revolutionary contents of this book which presents a comprehensive history and theory of the concept of magic in connection with the ancient Germanic runes. It also catalogs, categorizes and analyzes the many magical formulas used by the most ancient rune-masters and shows how these formulas were utilized within the traditional Germanic cultural frame of reference. No mater what your level of interest is in the runes, this is the most in-depth text you will find.
Note from the author:
The text of RUNES AND MAGIC is now in the final stage of editing. Due to financial considerations we will only be able to print a limited number of copies of this long-awaited new edition of the major academic work on the use of runes in magical operations. The book is now being offered on for pre-order. We will print at least as many as we get pre-orders for. So if you want to ensure that you get a copy of this work, please pre-order it now.
RUNES AND MAGIC will go to press about February 15, 2009.
Upon purchase You will be notified that you’ve reserved a copy and when the item has shipped.

This is the inaugural edition of the official journal of the Woodharrow Institute. It contains four fascinating articles of interest to various readers: “Elf-Quern and Elf-Shot: Language of Healing and Harming in Germanic Ritual Practice” by Dr. Stephen C. Wehmeyer; “On Magical Runes” by Prof. Dr. Magnus Olsen; “The Germanization of Christianity in the Theologia Germanica” by Dr. Glenn Alexander Magee; and “The State of Traditional Germanic and Scandinavian Studies in the Universities of the United States” by Michael Moynihan. The Olsen article is a translation of one originally published in Norwegian in 1916 and it one of the seminal academic works on the concept of rune-magic. The article by Michael Moynihan is useful for discovering local universities and their programs in areas of study which interest us. All proceeds from the sale of this work go to the Woodharrow Institute, a nonprofit foundation.
