English rune alphaber is a writing system that is derived from the ancient Germanic runic alphabets. It consists of a set of 24 symbols or runes, each representing a specific sound or phoneme in the English language. These runes are believed to have been used by the Anglo-Saxons and the Vikings during the Early Middle Ages. The English rune alphaber is distinct from the traditional English alphabet, as each rune has its own unique shape and meaning. For example, the rune "Fehu" represents the sound /f/ and is associated with wealth and prosperity, while the rune "Ansuz" represents the sound /a/ and is associated with wisdom and communication. The English rune alphaber can be used for both writing and divination purposes.

The Best Witch Books in YA Literature
Who doesn’t love a good witch book? One of my absolute favorite genres to read is Young Adult fantasy and especially where Witches are involved. From HARRY POTTER to LJ Smith’s SECRET CIRCLE, here are my favorite witch books to date in Young Adult literature. Hope you enjoy and please make sure to comment if I missed any of your favorites!
You’ve probably heard of the CW’s hit show The Vampire Diaries, but LJ Smith has a whole slew of other books. This series, about a newcomer misfit who learns of her witchy super powers after she moves to New England, is one of my favorite series of all time.
Julia is a witch gifted with a healing touch and the power to glimpse the future. When she sees a vision of her best friend’s boyfriend, Jim, shot and bleeding to death, she does her best to keep him out of danger. I love pretty much anything Pike does. Maybe not the best of his books (Remember Me, The Last Vampire, Whisper of Death, See You Later, Fall Into Darkness, are probably his finest) but a pretty decent witch novel.
I mean, what do I really have to say here? Most of you have read these and if haven’t yet, you should.
Roald Dahl can do no wrong, can he? This is a super funny and entertaining quick read about a seven-year-old boy who has a run-in with some real-life witches. It’s probably more aptly classified as Middle Grade but what the heck, I love it so much I had to include it.
I feel like this book makes all my lists but, honestly, it’s just that good. The White Witch character in this book is one of the nasties witches in literature. This one is not-to-be-missed.
Three years ago, Sophie Mercer discovered that she was a witch. When she attracts too much human attention for a prom-night spell gone horribly wrong, her parents exile her to Hex Hall, an isolated reform school for wayward Prodigium, a.k.a. witches, faeries, and shapeshifters. I haven’t finished the series yet but the first book in the series is a pretty fun read.
Sydney’s blood is special. That’s because she’s an alchemist – one of a group of humans who dabble in magic and serve to bridge the worlds of humans and vampires. I’m not sure if this book is technically about “witches” but there is magic. I’m a huge fan of Mead’s Vampire Academy series and while this spin-off series isn’t my favorite series of hers, it’s still an enjoyable read.
Bad luck seems to follow Jinx around everywhere. When she suddenly moves to New York, she hopes her bad luck stays behind until she starts to realize it isn’t just bad luck but something far more sinister. A great read if you love romance and magic and Cabot’s books in general are a pretty safe gamble.
Sixteen-year-old Nathan lives in a cage: beaten, shackled, trained to kill. In a modern-day England where two warring factions of witches live amongst humans, Nathan is an abomination, the illegitimate son of the world’s most terrifying and violent witch, Marcus. His only hope for survival is to escape before it’s too late. The first book in this series was one of my favorite reads this year.

Reviews for "The Magic of the English Rune Alphabet: Using Runes for Divination and Manifestation"
1. Alex - 2/5 stars - The English rune alphabet was a disappointment for me. I found it to be overly simplistic and lacking the depth and complexity of traditional rune systems. The symbols seemed arbitrary and didn't carry the ancient significance that I was hoping for. Additionally, the pronunciation guide provided was confusing and didn't align with any established pronunciation conventions. Overall, I was left feeling underwhelmed and unsatisfied with the English rune alphabet.
2. Emily - 1/5 stars - I regret purchasing the English rune alphabet guide. The symbols used were unnecessarily convoluted and didn't make sense in the context of English letters. It felt like a forced attempt to create a new system rather than building upon an existing one. Furthermore, the lack of historical and cultural significance tied to the symbols made it difficult for me to connect with them. I would not recommend this alphabet to anyone seeking a meaningful and authentic runic experience.
3. Ryan - 2/5 stars - The English rune alphabet left much to be desired. The symbols chosen to represent English letters seemed arbitrary and lacked any connection to the ancient origins of runic alphabets. I found it difficult to memorize the symbols as they didn't hold any inherent meaning or association with the sounds they were supposed to represent. Overall, I was left feeling unimpressed and unconvinced of the usefulness of the English rune alphabet in practical applications.
4. Jessica - 2/5 stars - I found the English rune alphabet to be confusing and inconsistent. The symbols chosen didn't align with the sounds they were supposed to represent, making it challenging to use the alphabet in any meaningful way. Additionally, the lack of historical and cultural significance behind the symbols made them feel arbitrary and unimportant. In my opinion, the English rune alphabet falls short in comparison to other more established and traditional rune systems.
