I drew from Casting the Runes, Jon Tremaine,
Book of Runes, Blume
Runes For Today's Woman, Cassandra Eason
The Rune Primer: A Down to Earth Guide to the Runes, Sweyn Plowright
Many many on-line resources
I have and have used Runic Tarot by Caroline Smith & John Astrop
but it was at home and I wasn't while all this was coming together.
and yes I used my books to help guide my readings as I don't have all the rune names memorized yet.
I have more books coming

Rune use is my chosen challenge for 2010.
That is the way I study anything, make a big well of information, drink liberally, and whiz out what I don't need.
