Since its first publication nearly 20 years ago, Ralph Blum�s The Book of Runes has brought inspiration and comfort to millions of people around the world. Every culture for the whole of recorded history has possessed some form of oracular tradition, and the primary function of Runes�stones and cards alike�is to help us get our bearings in life. An ancient Western alphabet last used in Iceland during the late Middle Ages, the Runes may have originated as long ago as the Bronze Age. Ralph has found the Runes to be a strong teacher and wise companion, and he now offers thoughts that have illuminated his path in the hope that they will illuminate yours too.

Ralph H. Blum�s Little Book of Runic Wisdom is a pocket-sized book of days which can be consulted daily or dipped into randomly to provide wisdom and guidance whenever it is needed. A large part of the book is made up of quotations taken from the author�s own bestselling books on the Runes. There are also previously unpublished extracts from the author�s working notes for his many Rune-related titles. This book is completed with a selection of quotes, poetry, jokes, and proverbs from many personal contacts and other diverse sources to bring inspiration and humor to every day.

About the Author

Ralph H. Blum first encountered the Runes by chance, while conducting research in England. He subsequently explored their origins and traditional meanings, applying these to contemporary culture and has been teaching the Runes as a sacred self-counseling technique since 1980.
