I’d br interested in what you’d consider a good book (or other sources) on various pagan beliefs and traditions that you would recommend.

I’m personally interested in European pagan traditions - be it Norse, Celtic, Germanic, Slavic (bonus points for Slavic!) - but would love to leave the topic open to others as well, just to make it interesting for people with different intrests.

    Tellstones: Runic Divination in the Welsh Tradition by Adam Byrn Tritt One of the only books on the subject and widely regarded as the best.

        Yep, similar but very different to Nordic runestones.

          You mean some kind of Anglo Saxon runes?

          Wales was mostly Welsh-speaking (not anglicised) until well after runes fell out of use in the 12th century.

          Just the words “Welsh” and “runes” don’t go together for me at all. When were there Welsh runes???

            Well… now, for example. And dating back to the Celts before Rome invaded.

            I’m sure there’s a book somewhere with the answers.

                They’re basic shapes painted on rocks, dude. Not sure what you want me to tell you. I didn’t write the book, and you didn’t read it so idk what either of us are supposed to get from this conversation.

                    The publisher contacted the author and asked him repeatedly to write a book on the subject. Your armchair assumptions and guesses are worth very little. OP asked for suggestions and I made one. It’s called being constructive. 🙄
