From The Author:

The Runes have been calling me to them for several years now. I heard their call, but I didn't follow it. An inner voice was telling me: " Your time hasn't come yet". I often looked into books about runes that were already published at that time, but quickly put them aside, not interested.

Later, I had a feeling that always told me what was right, and resisted if someone told something about runes that did not correspond to this feeling. I changed, but I couldn't understand these changes. Something in me knew about the runes, but I myself could not assume that it was.

"It" was worried all the time: because of the literature telling about runes, because of the stories of sages, masters and druids, and rebelled. Finally "it" won, and I followed the runes, got to work. A completely new life has begun, incomparable with the past, with completely new discoveries and surprises. In search of runes, I left books on this topic alone, following my inner voice. What I found is difficult to convey, but I want to try to satisfy my publisher's desire by telling it in clear language.

I set out to get to know the runes myself directly, and not through theoretical sources.. I knew the signs and knew the names, the rest was taught to me by an inner voice.

The runes often called me to their world, but I stubbornly remained in this, in everyday human reality. I have brought gifts of runes from my travels and would like to share them with you.
