Runes are an unconscious force that must be accumulated inside in order to operate with it at the right time. No rituals to activate the power of runes will help you until you yourself are filled with this energy. Rituals, in turn, serve as a tool for communicating with conscious power: Gods, Demons, Angels, Spirits, so ceremonials with mindless runes look at least stupid. The book that you are holding in your hands consists of a theoretical part explaining the nature of runes and a practical one on accumulating the energy potential of runes.
