Query: Reality check?

I don't enjoy trashing anyone's work, but this book is quite simply bad. The rune meanings seem to have been derived from a certain other less than accurate Rune book put out circa 1982. Personal interpretation is one thing, assigning new and unrelated meanings to symbols over 2000 years old is another.For esoteric meaning, try Thorsson, Aswynn, or King, and for historical perspective Ralph W.V. Elliot and R.I. Page are your best bets. Leave this one by the tabloids at the checkout counter.
