What began as a second edition of the popular book The Runes: A Human Journey (published in 2007), has developed into a work which effectively replaces Tauring's original publication. The Runes: A Deeper Journey maintains the "story telling" quality of its predecessor while delving more deeply into Norse cosmology and metaphysics, especially as they relate to divination and the use of runes as guides and energetic signposts on life's journey.
