A large part of the text of "RAIDO, The Runic Journey" is available online at The Runic Journey website.
People have said some very nice things about "Raido". This is what a few Canadian Pagan publications had to say...
"This is the clearest and most concise introduction to the lore of runes, their origins and their uses in divination that I have ever seen." - All My Relations
"Jenny's writing and ideas are clear, honest, and mercifully devoid of romanticism... packs in more practical information, insight and common sense than any ten books on the subject usually do. If your local occult shop doesn't have it yet, demand that they order it, preferably in large quantities." - The Blade & Chalice
"At last we have a sensible and practical 'how-to' book on Runes!" - Hecate's Loom

RAIDO
The Runic Journey
Author Jennifer Smith explores the hidden meanings of the runes through myth and magical insight. 'RAIDO' represents a unique approach to the runes by using their sequence as a metaphor for the spiritual odyssey. The journeyer experiences the lessons of each rune in turn, and discovers the depth of wisdom of the old Norse myths along the way. This 100 page, cerlox-bound volume is available alone, or as part of a set with the author's handcrafted wood runes.
The book also includes:
divinatory meanings and magical uses for each rune
a detailed history of the origins and development of the various runic alphabets
a pronunciation guide to the rune names
the theory and practice of divination
several practical methods for doing your own rune readings and rune magic
A companion volume to "Raido", this pocket-sized booklet serves as a reference guide, a workbook, a journal, and a series of daily meditations that can help you along your own runic journey. The booklet includes keywords, imagery, related myths, divinatory meanings, and space for notes for each rune of the Elder fuşark. It also includes chapters on historical background, meditation exercises, and divinatory and magical techniques.
