A small book with deep roots.
The Little Book of Bindrunes is a concise, accessible guide to the history and use of bindrunes, written by Isar Oakmund. Designed as an entry point as well as a reference, this book explores where runes come from, how bindrunes developed, and how multiple runes can be combined into meaningful geometric forms.
Alongside historical context, the book offers clear guidelines on bindrune composition, focusing on balance, structure and intention rather than rigid rules. Interwoven throughout are Isar’s personal notes and reflections on working with bindrunes in art, practice and daily life, giving the book a grounded, lived-in feel rather than a purely academic one.
Whether you’re new to runes or already working with them, this small volume provides insight, clarity and inspiration without overcomplicating the process.
