Editorial Reviews

"Norse Divination is a breath of fresh air in what has become a largely stagnant field. Gypsey Teague has created and tested a thoroughly modern system of runic divination in which the diviner departs from the more typical meanings extrapolated from the rune poems, and instead enters a realm of story.
 In this incredibly intuitive system, the reader is taken on a journey through a realm of Holy Powers, cosmology, and eschatology...Gypsey's style of writing is no—nonsense and to the point. Easy to read without losing any depth of meaning. She's upfront about her sources and her instructions are thorough. The end result is a highly workable modern system of divination and something truly creative."—Cat Heath, author of Elves, Witches & Gods
