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. This is the third edition of this masterpiece, with numerous corrections.

A solid historical and academic review of runology has a definite place when so much in the marketplace is trivial, inaccurate, and self-interested. Flowers provides this with a wealth of information, references, and conclusions in a field that is making a timely and appropriate resurgence; although this would be of interest only to the serious student and dedicated runologist. For those who know Flowers as Edred Thorsson, this work gives an appreciation of the depth of his background and appreciation of the field; it also helps to put his later works into a clearer context and on a solid foundation.
This is one of my go to books on Runology, the other would be Runic Amulets and Magic Objects by Mees & Macleod.
