View Rights PortalLike the Norse runes, the ogham is a system designed to help practitioners learn and remember them and their meanings. Where the Norse runes had the three Rune Poems, each version with a verse for each stave, ogham is set out in three ancient Briartharogams, word-lists, which are reproduced at the end of this book. These lists contain many kennings, little puns to add meaning, which often confuse rather than enlighten.

The Runes emerged as sacred instruments of prediction and protection, in times when magic was part of everyday life. Nowadays, coming into contact with them provides us with the necessary clues to clarify our spirit and our mind, make the right decisions and choose the most appropriate path at a given moment. The information is received through the interpretations of each rune, which stimulates the opening of other deeper channels of understanding. Part of the magic of the runes lies in their great flexibility, in the ability to adapt to the requirements of each moment and in their surprisingly easy use. This means that in this New Era that we have to live, they become stronger every day as a true method for inner knowledge.
For fans of Lev Grossman and Terry Pratchett comes this delightful novel of war, mystery and a little bit of magic... Fall in love with the extraordinary world of Faye Bright – it’s Maisie Dobbs meets The Magicians. As Spitfires roar overhead and a dark figure stalks the village of Woodville, a young woman will discover her destiny… Faye Bright always felt a little bit different. And today she’s found out why. She’s just stumbled across her late mother’s diary which includes not only a spiffing recipe for jam roly-poly, but spells, incantations, runes and recitations… a witch’s notebook. And Faye has inherited her mother’s abilities. Just in time, too. The Crow Folk are coming. Led by the charismatic Pumpkinhead, their strange magic threatens Faye and the villagers. As WW2 goes on in the background, and armed with little more than her mum’s words, her trusty bicycle, the grudging help of two bickering old ladies, and some aggressive church bellringing, Faye will find herself on the front lines of a war nobody expected.

THE POWER OF SYMBOLS Sacred Images for Meditation and Divination by Stefano Fusi Artwork by Stefano Fusi Product Details 41 cards + 68-page guidebook+gold extra thin point marker Guide book size: 85 x 130 mm Card size: 85 x 130 mm ISBN: 978-1-955680-03-5 Imprint: Edizioni LAlbero All our oracles are designed and printed in Italy using only 100% ecofriendly material and non toxic inks and varnishes. Symbols are the signs that reveal and perpetuate the unlimited universe in our world and in our common life. They reveal meanings beyond those obvious to the senses and to our rational sphere. They exist before we can imagine or think about them: like genes and DNA on the physical plane, symbols pre-exist us, they carry with them the original instructions of life. They exist in nature and we have then encoded them to express in perceptible and comprehensible forms the essential forces that structure existence since the beginning. They are a synthetic map of the motions of what we call energy.The Power of Symbols is a deck of 41 Oracles with guide book.
