Book Reviews of Northern Magic: Rune Mysteries and Shamanism (Llewellyn's World Magic Series)
Book Review: Surprisingly Informative
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a really good reference for the very busy professional person who needs a clear presentation of ideas in a very short space. It would function as an excellent primer to Runelore and/or Futhark.This book gives a really good quick overview of the Northern Way as it exists in its present remanifestation. In Chapter III, Dr. Thorsson explains the similarities and differences between the Troth, Rune-Galdor (operative rune magick), and Seith (norse shamanism) in a clear and concise manner.
Chapters IV and V explain Teutonic Cosmology and Theology in a quick, clear, and concise manner.
Dr. Thorsson does make a run at describing the Teutonic "soul" concept, but this is not as satisfying as the foregoing-described concise summaries.
Dr. Thorsson focuses on the younger runes and some home-grown Pennsylvania Dutch magick in this book, which might be interesting to some.
In my opinion, this book is most valuable for the quick summaries, and illustrations accompanying same, discussed above.
