The Old Norse Spell Book
Want to travel back in time to the spellbinding Old Norse world—and find out how you can apply its ancient wisdom and magic to modern situations and problems? Then read on: This is the book for you!
Runes—the cryptic letters of an Old Norse alphabet—are more than just a collection of dusty symbols from a bygone era.
They’re powerful forces that have long been associated with magic and divination.
Since ancient times, people have used them for guidance, and they’re still being used today.
In fact, more and more people are discovering the mysterious power of runes and are incorporating them into their daily spiritual practices.
Now YOU can too! In the pages of this book, you’ll learn about runes, the folklore surrounding them, and how you can unleash their power in your own life.
With a little bit of know-how, you’ll soon be using runes to guide you through life’s difficulties and questions and point you toward the answers you’re seeking.
Inside The Old Norse Spell Book, you’ll discover:
The history and significance of Old Norse runes
The oldest runic alphabet, the Elder Futhark
The folklore and ancient stories surrounding runes
How runes are used for divination and magic
How runic magic is practiced in the modern world
And much, much more!
Remember, runes don’t provide you with definitive answers or tell you exactly what’s going to happen.
Instead, they provide valuable insight into your unique situation and the potential outcomes that may occur.
If you don’t like the possible outcome a rune is hinting at, you can change direction and alter it: You’re in control.
So, buy this book today and start sprinkling a little runic magic in your life! You’ll be glad you did. $2.99 on Kindle.

HEIMAT
Matthias Schmidt left his Heimat, Neisse, Germany, in April 1929 to follow thousands of other Europeans for a better future in the United States. Reluctantly he left his mother, a girlfriend, sisters, many relatives, and friends. But he also left an intolerable situation behind. He planned to return as an American citizen, a shining example of American success, marry his girlfriend and bring her to America. En route to Bremerhaven and his ship to America, his plans began to change when he impulsively saved an American diplomat from the tracks in Berlin’s Lehrter Bahnhof.
The heroic act bonded Matthias and three other travelers in a friendship that sustained them through broken promises, misconceptions of the American dream, the Great Depression, Prohibition, and World War Two. Josef Turner, a watchmaker, left Neisse on a whim. Edo Rabinowitz, a tailor, escaped nationally sanctioned anti-Semitism. A teenage farm boy, Feliks Bartol, was sent to America by his family because their farm could not support him. Before the outbreak of World War Two, Matthias questioned his commitment to his plan as letters from his mother, girlfriend, sisters, and others urged him to return as the Nazi regime improved Germany’s economy and national pride. Instead, the war severed contact with his family, sending him and his friends on separate paths: to a shipyard building vessels to carry destruction to their Heimat, the US Army fighting in the Pacific, Germany’s Wehrmacht invading France and Russia, and the Nuremberg trials to bring Nazi war criminals to justice. $8.85 on Kindle.
