I am compelled to write this review after reading the lack of information from the other reviewers. Apart from "the best work" or "only for serious users" you do not get any information about what this book is about or if it is worth looking for it.The Nine Doors is a program of studies and practices which involve physical, mental and spiritual exercises in order to "absorb" into your personal field the energy of the runes. As you can guess, the exercises progress in difficulty and complexity as the book advances. The merit of the work is that is the first book to really try to propose a method of working with the runes besides the obvious "learning the meaning" for divination.My complaint is that even by working through the system you may feel something is lacking. This is similar to buying a book of Tai-Chi with good pictures of all the movements and forms and expect to become a Tai-Chi master by just following them. However, if you are completely on your own with no access to a good teacher, this is a good solid work which tries to give you the basis for rune work.Hope this works to give a better idea.
It never ceases to amaze me why publishing companies let their better qualitie books go out of print while keeping the bad ones. 9 Doors is by far the best book on runology to date. This book is still available through the Rune Gild, and why Llewellyn let it go is beyond me. It far surpasses the wisdom in FUTHARK or RUNELORE. One thing is this: 9 Doors will open doors but it is you who must walk through them! If you read this book with an open mind you will discover things you never dreamed of. But do not just read the book... WORK THROUGH IT!
Nine Doors is an intense study of the Germanic magick's and the process to achieving knowledge. A good study. Not for the faint of heart. It's not easy. Demands your attention but the reward is there. It opens yourself up to expanded awareness and a deeper understanding of the energies we have to work with. That we are! If for nothing more than a book of self-discovery, I recommend it whole heartedly
a must read for anyone serious about runecraft or other magical studies. the meditations/visualizations are very powerful, especially the runic circle and runic tree of life exercises. read Futhark first or along with this one.
Nine Doors of Midgard is an excellent sourcebook for thestudy of Germanic magic and its rituals, practice, andrunic lore. Apart from Thorsson's tendency to get going at times on his own esoteric runic explanations and get a tad off his 'unbiased' view of the lore, he keeps the text useful and mostly to the point. A great book.
Iâve read Thorssonâs Futhark, which is an awesome book; this text takes it to a whole new level. Being academically inclined myself, I really appreciated Thorssonâs systematic approach to working with the Runes: first by gaining a basic, well-rounded foundation, which includes history, then progressively working towards mastery by adding to that foundation one practice after another.Thorssonâs underlining method is to school the initiates in the ancient lore and known traditions with the intention of getting them to tap into the Runic streams of energy in order to lead them towards deeper and deeper insights as they slowly come to embody the myths within their lives.While $200 is excessive, the fact is, this book is by far one of the best books on Runic development out there. Rather than just a magical or divinational practice, The Nine Doors of Midgard is also about developing and refining ourselves. I could not afford this book myself, so I utilized my public libraryâs Interlibrary system to get it â maybe you can do the same.The Nine Doors of Midgard was originally the Rune-Gildâs guidebook for new initiates. In saying, it is not like your average Rune book with correspondences, reading techniques, example readings, and some personal reflections of the author. This book is filled with meditations, rituals, visualizations, physical postures, intonations, and so much more.This book is not a standalone text either. Itâs the bare bone practices of the Rune-Gild with a hefty reading list for the initiate to study and work with in addition to the practices offered. In saying, this is not a beginnerâs Rune book. In fact, for the average reader I would not suggest this book. The Nine Doors of Midgard is geared towards those that want to transform and embody the Runic energies within their lives. If thatâs what you want than this book is a great resource.
The Nine Doors of Midgard is THE authoritative source for anyone wishing to plumb the depths of the Germanic mysteries. Those who simply are looking for ways to sharpen their own minds and expand their own consciousness will also find in this book a unique and powerful program of self enlightenment and empowerment. For me, the Nine Doors have opened multiple new worlds of life, experience and mystery.
This is the book for anyone serious about the runes. Others give you a lot of fluff and back ground, this is the one that will get you there.
