This looks interesting and comes recommended by Rig from the Nine Worlds list.

Anyone read it?

"Helsongs discusses inner Rune Cosmology, the three master Runes of the Rune-sorcerers,"

Hmm. . . Really? Interesting: "Master Runes". . . I get this impression that you start with the wooden runes you get from the old man in the cave, and then you get the white runes from the old man at the top of the waterfall, and then the master runes are found under the cemetery in the west. . .

I may pick up a copy, though, just to see what it's got in it.

I was thinking about picking it up when I wrote the comment above. . . and then I realized who wrote it.

Now I think my initial, gut response seems even more relevant.

I've been intrigued by RA's books for some time now but knowing how he likes to twist words and troll, I'm thinking I'll pass, especially since there's other stuff out there that I'd like to have more. BTW, have had personal experience with RA and his many internet sock puppets. He doesn't play as nice as he pretends to.

I, personally, have never heard or dealt with the guy.

Be that as it may, what about the book. Has anyone actually read this book, what is being "taught" and the context in which it is being "taught."

Not because I wish to learn from him, mostly because I would like to know what he is saying in case it is filtering out into community.

I don't have the 30 bucks to get the book, nor based on his reputation, do I wish to give the guy money.
