Frank Joseph’s illustrated first edition, The Gods of the Runes: the Divine Shapers of Fate, invites readers into a vivid fusion of Norse myth, runic magic, and modern spirituality. This 2010 paperback from Inner Traditions pairs crisp scholarship with striking artwork, making Viking lore accessible to young adults and adults alike.
The 200-page volume explores how ancient rune casters viewed their gods as living forces shaping destiny, blending folklore, divination, and New Age practice without drifting into dry textbook prose. Collectors appreciate the generous page size (229 mm) that lets Joseph’s diagrams and rune staves breathe.
