Tyson, Donald. Rune Magic. St. Paul, MN: Llewellyn Publications, 1988. Tyson is primarily a ceremonial<br />

magician, best known as the author of The New Magus. Rune Magic shows a great deal of research and<br />

thought. It also is written from the perspective of someone who is at best a little dubious about heathen deities<br />

and at worst sees them as unpredictable and dangerous beings which must be controlled by a transcendental<br />

“All-Father.” Many of his practices, such as the use of the pentagram in ritual, are taken directly from<br />

ceremonial magic and have little place in Teutonic workings. However, Tyson is a very good practical<br />

magician; some of his suggestions in that department and some of his insights into the runes make this book<br />

worth the trouble, though it is recommended to check his interpretations against those of other writers.<br />
