It is through the Norse God of Magic, Odhin, that gods and men are able to receive the wisdom of the Runes.

Odhin was the first being to be initiated into the Runic mysteries by extracting the Rune wisdom directly from the source, and it infused into his being. When the essence of the Runic knowledge merged within him, he was able to formulate the means to communicate their nature to other beings.

This book is meant to be a beginners guide to using the Runes for divination purposes, as such, detailed lore about the Runes and more complex divination practices and methods are not included here. However, even an experienced Runster will find beneficial information and perhaps a new way of looking at the Runes.
