Forget rune books - or better yet: compare them to this one. The Song of the Yew is a rune high, more rock 'n' roll than ballad, a captivating word concert, passionate, wild, and tender - always poetic between humor and sharp wit, with a pronounced penchant for original imagery. Duke Meyer's unmistakable style combines solid expertise with personal experiences and interpretations - while also exposing folkish ideology behind some common interpretations. The oldest Germanic rune system as a magical matrix of the soul and for human interaction - the focus is less on the individual runes; instead, the author relates them to each other and to the human psyche - illustrating with examples from his own depths. Duke Meyer shows how runes can be used today: as a system of thought in everyday life.
