LOVE, LUST AND LOSS: A COLLECTION OF BINDRUNES.
This specialised self help book explores the Elder Futhark, delves into taboo subjects, and simplifies the concept of creating your own bind-runes. Suitable for both beginners and experienced rune-workers, the book bridges ancient ways and modern emotive expression through artwork and magic.
"Love, Lust and Loss, A Collection of Bindrunes" offers an in-depth look at the Elder Futhark alphabet, and bind runes relating to the subjects of love and relationships, sex and self image, death, grief and healing, all in the unique hand of rune expert May Oakmund, as well as never before seen or used Nordic imagery from the mind of Isar Oakmund. The book also contains Isar's Runic-inspired numeral system for tattooing and provides over 100 bind-runes in the three themes of the book.
As an additional tool, this book includes a guide to creating your own couples bind runes, and a guide to making your own memorial bind runes. Whether you're interested in personal artwork, tattoo design, or exploring their magical potential, this guidebook offers a wealth of inspiration and practical designs.
Created by May Oakmund, this collection reflects her own ideas and opinions, as well as a brief insight into the magic she personally uses in conjunction with binding runes. This book is an invaluable addition to your collection, offering yet another enriching journey through the world of Nordic symbols.
