Elder Futhark bind runes are ancient symbols that combine two or more runic letters to create a single, powerful symbol. They were used by the Ancient Germanic peoples, specifically the Norse and Germanic tribes, as a form of magical and mystical communication. These bind runes were believed to possess special qualities and were used for various purposes such as protection, healing, luck, and divination. The Elder Futhark is one of the oldest runic alphabets and consists of 24 letters. Each letter corresponds to a specific sound and has its own symbolic meaning. By combining these letters in specific ways, the Norse and Germanic people believed they could harness the power of these symbols and enhance their effects.

Description
This is the first and only book (which I am aware of) that is exclusively dedicated to a comprehensive system of bind runes created from the Elder Futhark
- Easy-to-read and easy-to-use information with no expert rune knowledge required
- Contains 24 black and white Elder Futhark bind runes, each with an unique stanza
- Discusses the bind runes as active tools for magick, spiritual and/or self-empowerment rituals
- Guidance on the purpose and use of each bindrune
- Designs include additional western alchemical elements as well as a novel alchemical symbol of my own design
The sigils were initially featured on the Celestial Rune Sigils oracle deck (more details on my website) and now they have been converted into book format as well In this book I provide guidance on the crafting, uses and invocation of the Celestial Rune Sigils. These sigils are not merely meant for use in divination, but rather they have a more active role with each sigil having a specific intention and contribution towards metaphysical, spiritual and magickal rituals. Therefore, the Celestial Rune Sigils are not only restricted to tarot readers or oracle enthusiasts. They have been created for the larger metaphysical community and would be of special interest to our energy workers and magick wielders. They are appropriate for most ages, including the very young and those who are wiser, since they can be used for both personal rituals and to assist clients during various healing and/or magick sessions.
The Celestial Rune Sigils represent a metaphysical, spiritual or magickal toolbox, with each sigil representing a different metaphysical tool. Each sigil can be used in this way, much as one would use a wand, crystal or other spiritual tool. There is a lot of freedom as to how precisely to apply each card and I hope that the practitioners who make use of this book will find their own intuitive ways of applying each of the sigils during their spiritual journeys and magickal rituals.
I appreciate any feedback, comments and/or reviews about this book as I am constantly striving to improve on the system and to make it relatable to all my fellow rune enthusiasts.

The specific letters chosen and their arrangement depend on the desired outcome and the intentions of the creator. These bind runes were often inscribed onto various objects such as talismans, amulets, jewelry, weapons, and even gravestones. The material in which the bind rune was engraved was also believed to add its own unique properties to the symbol. These objects were then carried or worn by individuals who sought the specific qualities associated with the bind rune. For example, a bind rune combining the runes for strength, protection, and victory could be used by a warrior seeking protection and success in battle. Similarly, a bind rune combining the runes for health, recovery, and vitality could be used by someone seeking healing or improved well-being. The possibilities were endless, and bind runes allowed individuals to customize their symbols based on their specific needs and desires. While the exact origins and meanings of some bind runes have been lost over time, several examples have been found in ancient Norse and Germanic artifacts. These surviving examples, along with historical texts and folklore, provide valuable insights into the power and significance of these symbols in the ancient world. Today, bind runes continue to be used by individuals who are interested in Norse and Germanic mythology, magic, or spirituality. They have gained popularity as decorative tattoos, jewelry designs, and as symbols of personal empowerment and connection to heritage. While their magical properties are still debated, these bind runes serve as a link to the ancient past and the beliefs of our ancestors..

While the idea of bind runes intrigued me, "Elder Futhark Bind Runes" failed to deliver on its promise. The book provides a brief overview of the origin and history of bind runes, but the actual instructions on how to create and use them are scarce and poorly explained. The author assumes prior knowledge on the subject, making it difficult for beginners like myself to follow along. Additionally, the book lacks practical examples and case studies, which would have been helpful in understanding the concept better. Overall, I felt like this book didn't provide the guidance I was seeking, and I would recommend looking for alternative resources on the topic.
