''The Runes: Whence Came They'' is a book written by George Stephens in 1894 that explores the origins and history of the runic alphabet. The book delves into the early Germanic tribes and their use of runes as a form of communication, magic, and divination. It also discusses the similarities and differences between the runic alphabet and other ancient scripts, such as Greek and Latin. The author provides a detailed analysis of each rune and its meaning, as well as their use in various contexts, such as on weapons and jewelry. Additionally, the book examines the influence of the runes on modern culture, including their use in modern paganism and New Age spirituality. Overall, ''The Runes: Whence Came They'' is a comprehensive guide to the history and significance of this ancient alphabet.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
