Roland Zerpe

The author is a personal student of the inheritor of the Stav tradition and has spent almost 30 years dedicated to studying this profound practice. In addition to practical expertise, the author draws extensively from years of exploring academic and scholarly research on Norse mythology and runes, incorporating these insights into a well-rounded and accessible perspective. This is the second edition of the book, originally published in Swedish in 2021, which received very positive feedback from readers for its depth and accessibility. In this edition, the author continues to share not only practical applications but also a deep understanding of the tradition, making Stav accessible to a wider audience while preserving its authenticity and richness. The preface is penned by Thomas Karlsson, PhD in the history of religions, a renowned author and highly regarded interpreter of the runes, whose introduction adds important perspectives to this book.
