 The Book of Runes The Runes are one of the world's greatest spiritual resources. They always speak to us from the depths of our own hearts. --Marianne Williamson, author of A Return to Love.  The Complete Illustrated Guide to Runes A rune may look like nothing more than a rock with a symbol etched into it. But according to The Complete Illustrated Guide to Runes, a rune is "literally a mystery containing the secrets of the inner structure of existence."
