A Factual Introduction - By: S. Plowright, 24 Feb 2007
This is one of the few books that looks into the runes from an esoteric perspective without trying to invent a "tradition". It is a very basic introduction to the real historical facts about runelore, giving the reader the minimum starting point needed for further studies.

Pollington is scholarly & faithful to the historical source material, while still catering to the esoteric focus of his readers. He is one of a growing number of Heathen authors who have made a stand against the exploitation & adulteration of the runic traditions by the New-Age popular manuals, & would-be cult leaders.

Do yourself a favour, read it, & make a start on discovering the real runic tradition without the hype & nonsense.
