Nigel Pennick details the significance of natural time cycles in the Northern Tradition by examining how the stars, planets, seasons, months, and the precessional year relate to the runes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe author explains how the runes are more than just an ancient European alphabet. They encapsulate particular spiritual and symbolic meanings to individually and collectively express deep eternal truths.
