Summary
Discover the power of ancient Nordic runes with this beautifully presented book and deck。
According to Norse mythology， Odin， the chief of the gods， hung himself in self-sacrifice from the world tree Yggdrasil for nine days and nights in order to receive cosmic wisdom。 This was granted to him in the form of the runes。 The runes make up an alphabet that， with local variations， was used across most of northern Europe from pre-Christian times until the thirteenth century。 The word rune is derived from rúna， an ancient Germanic word meaning whisper or mystery。
The Runes Box explains the meanings of the runes and the Norse mythology that underpins their basic concepts。 Enclosed in a handy hardcover case so that the wisdom of the runes can be carried with you at all times， you'll find:
A 96-page booklet that explains the history of runes and how to use them
36 carry-size cards with information on the 24 runes and their meanings， plus some essential runic blessings and wishes
The straight， angular lines of the runes are ideal for carving into bone， wood， or stone， or forming with twigs。 Different methods for making runestones are described with instructions on how to use them for divinatory and magical purposes， from making talismans to petitioning the Norse gods。
Approach the runes with a benevolent instinct， an open heart， and an honest spirit， and truths will be revealed to you。
Incorporate common mind-body-spirit practices into your daily routine with the Mindful Practice Deck series。 From dream interpretation to runes casting and crystal healing， learn about the history of each practice as well as how to use each to meet your specific needs。 Beautifully presented in a hardcover case， each kit includes a removable paperback reference book and a 36-card deck in a protective box， perfectly sized for quick access on the go。
Also available: The Dream Interpretation Box; The Crystal Healing Box

The Runes Box by Lona Eversden is the first book on runes that I have read and comprehended best。 I think this was due to the heavy visual images and less words。 Each of the images was drawn in great detail and easy to follow。 The supporting text help it stick in my brain better。 I enjoyed the detail on each rune as well as the idea of making your own。 That idea had never popped into my head， and I love it。The colour scheme was also gorgeous， calming， and very nature focused。 This is definitely The Runes Box by Lona Eversden is the first book on runes that I have read and comprehended best。 I think this was due to the heavy visual images and less words。 Each of the images was drawn in great detail and easy to follow。 The supporting text help it stick in my brain better。 I enjoyed the detail on each rune as well as the idea of making your own。 That idea had never popped into my head， and I love it。The colour scheme was also gorgeous， calming， and very nature focused。 This is definitely the best book I have read on runes to date。 If they are something you have failed to understand in the past， I suggest trying The Runes Box。 I received an eARC from Quarto Publishing and Wellfleet Press through NetGalley。 All opinions are 100% my own。 。。。more

At first， I thought this was a history book， which described the Norse gods and the symbolisms with the runes。。。 and， basically， that is what this book contains， but its real purpose is to teach its readers about the use of runes for divination， which is also very interesting。 At times it bored me a bit， because the information has a very similar format， but I suppose it is a problem with my brain and not with the book itself。 It is very informative， and it is super pretty， the aesthetic is beau At first， I thought this was a history book， which described the Norse gods and the symbolisms with the runes。。。 and， basically， that is what this book contains， but its real purpose is to teach its readers about the use of runes for divination， which is also very interesting。 At times it bored me a bit， because the information has a very similar format， but I suppose it is a problem with my brain and not with the book itself。 It is very informative， and it is super pretty， the aesthetic is beautiful and the colors are very calming。 。。。more

For such a short read this book is jampacked with information for beginners。Next to the meanings of each rune， The Runes Box also covers correspondences and mottos that are helpful in remembering what each rune represents。 A great start to dive deeper。Thank you Netgalley and Wellfleet Press for the ARC。
