Just how exactaly does one use Runes? (question for Asatru)?

Frau Hunter said it best, I only want to add that the name is Runelore by Edred Thorsson. This is the most accurate and concise of all the books written on Runes, please read it. I also reiterate the feelings on DJ Conway, and Rites of Odin, both are completely wrong and misleading. Asatru is a beautiful religion and does not need misconceptions surrounding it.
