Hallo Anakephalaiosis, I hope you’re well.
I was hoping you could recommend one or two (or three) particularly noteworthy book on Runes? The time is right.
I’d be most grateful.

No such book exists. You can write the book yourself. Rebus and memory palace are the new thing. Reforged, with artistic liberty, from Old English nursery rhymes into haiku:
Livestock is blessing.
Abundant share of Yahweh.
According to law.
Wild ox is great horns.
Nightmare to moor wanderer.
Forward and fighting.
Thorn is sharp pain.
Sitting thereupon faulty.
It serves right.
Mouth is spring of word.
Wisdom before knowledge.
Joy before hope.
The meaning of the images is: breed, child-bearing, birth and breath.
Value of livestock is that it multiplies, caused by breeding. Cattle makes no nest, and cows drop calves where they stand. It is important for a calf to learn to stand up fast, so it can follow the herd. Predators might attack cows giving birth and newborn calves. The species survival depends on the ox defending the herd. The thorn causes bloody pain like giving birth. The first thing a midwife looks for, is the infant breathing through the mouth.
Life force is in zenith in summer, and in nadir in winter. Life force contracts in autumn, and expands in spring. Summer is fire, and winter is water. Autumn contracts life force into matter, that falls to earth. Spring expands, and grows upwards into air.
Breeding is summer principle, because life force is in zenith in procreation. Child-bearing is autumn principle, because trees bear fruits. Birth is winter principle, because the unborn becomes born in symbolic death. The former must cease to exist, for the latter to come into being. Breathing is spring principle. Trees breathe in, that which mammals breathe out. Man and tree are in symbiosis.
Closing cycle of four seasons creates an imaginary center in a circle, the fifth point. The year is the quintessence of four seasons. The year is the top of the pyramid, and the four sides are seasons and elements. The elemental forces of year are a “zero-sum vector system”. When deified, it becomes Yahweh.
The rest of the rune system follows this template, and creates a memory palace, that becomes an inner temple to Yahweh. Next four Runes are childcare.
Twigs sprouting out of more twigs. Thanks. 🙂
Precisely. 29 nursery rhymes expand into “ten thousand” twigs, that sprout leaves of logic. It is breathtaking complexity, and still country simple.
Summer principle is also known as “summerland”, and that should ring a bell in the Celtic sphere. Four realms of seasonal abstractions lead to an overall abstraction of year, and that is deified as Yahweh. Adonai is personification of the abstraction of year.
Through the Germanic languages, Adonai has morphed into Odin, and Yahweh into Jahr/Year. Odin’s four sons are attributed features, that allude to seasons (equinoxes and solstices).
The four sides of the pyramid unite in the quintessential top. The four seasons unite in the quintessential year. The four sons of Odin unite in the quintessential Odin himself.
This template is the underlying structure in the Rune rebus. It means, that all transitions through life follow same pattern: the analogue “pyramid”. The incarnation, as a whole, is a “pyramid” as well. It depicts small cycles within a big cycle, that continues from life to life.
In the end there is new beginning. We all start out in the end.
(Politically, the Rune rebus defines man. This feature is found lacking in 1776, by accident or design, causing a vague definition of man to go slippery slope. Rune rebus provides the original framework to define man country simple. Rune rebus is the cultural genome of Europe.)
