Stav : runes, martial art, philosophy

Om boken

This book presents the first comprehensive description of the Stav tradition, introducing the hidden structure of the Younger Futhark through Stavs blend of philosophy and practice.


This limited second edition is issued at a reduced price and available only until September 2026 or until an undisclosed number of copies have been sold. It includes updated chapters and a strengthened presentation of the authors thesis on the structure of the Younger Futhark, offering new insight into the runic reformation at the dawn of the Viking Age.


The first edition was praised for its clarity and for placing Stav within its Scandinavian cultural and historical context. Stav is rooted in Norse mythology, revealing layers of runic meaning not available elsewhere. Stavs martial philosophy and training provide a practical route to embodied understanding, with breathwork and mindfulness at its core.
