Runes are alive. Runes didn''t stop evolving the moment they were named and recorded by people long since passed. They do not exist as static portraits of energy from 1,000 years ago. They are dynamic, ever-evolving, swirling dances of energetic information that are considered archetypal beings that offer insight and information to those who work with them. The rune beings have adapted, changed, and survived history. It''s time to re-imagine them as they exist today.    This book is written for the 21st Century Rune Mystic... ... the anti-racist, anti-sexist, rune-reading rebel who wants to positively shape what is handed down to the next generation of rune mystics. Rune Rebellion applies modern scientific theory, cultural context, and historical significance to explore the depth, life, and meaning of each rune so that you may better understand the animate, living rune beings who share our reality.
