“The approach we took to creating this book was of my own devising" says editor David de Young. "Kari pulled a rune daily and wrote about it as it seemed to apply to the day it was selected. His editing took the same approach. "This methodology caused this book to come alive for us long before it was complete.” Even writing deadlines were ritualized, on the solar quarters and cross quarters.
Humor and artistic license create a fun and personal read, though the scholarship is solid. For example, in her choice of rune names was based on the musicality of the words as she has used them in almost two decades of song and spiritual practice. The book is at once personal and universal, inspired and academic, humorous and full of serious thought. de Young has called the book “a sort of guidebook for the human spirit.”
