Within the pages of this magical handbook, you'll find everything you need to know to practice Saxon sorcery. Alaric Albertsson once again uncovers the practices and customs of the Anglo-Saxons hidden in early charms and English folk traditions. His first book, Travels Through Middle Earth, taught readers how to connect with the Saxon cosmology, deities, spirits, and rituals. Now, Wyrdworkingtells how to craft rune charms, brew potions, cast effective spells, and use magical techniques to find love and prosperity. This guide explores the folklore, meanings, and magical properties of all thirty-three Old English Futhorc runes, classifying them by theme, such as animals or trees, to help you learn. Discover how to make a wand or staff, consecrate and use a seax(knife), and practice the herbal healing known as wortcunning. Design effective spells through the use of galdor(incantations), practice wiglung(the art of soothsaying), and create your own set of powerful divinatory runes.
