Roland Zerpe
Editorial: BoD - Books on Demand
Sinopsis
Stav is often described as a martial art, but it's better understood as a Scandinavian system of education, personal development, and embodied philosophy. This book presents the first in-depth exploration of Stav in English, and stands among the most comprehensive works in runosophy. Rooted in the younger futhark, the 16-rune script introduced prior to the Scandinavian Viking age, Stav offers a cohesive framework where mythology, movement, and meaning converge. Inside, you'll discover: - A reintroduction to Heimdall from a Stav perspective - The Norse castes as archetypes, offering insights into life and conflict - Rune associations with deities, trees, herbs, and body postures - The true meaning and authentic name of the symbol known as the "Web of Wyrd" - Bindrunes and runic divination as practical tools - Runestances, a meditative practice reminiscent of Tai Chi, forming the foundation of Stav's martial art - Stav's martial arts in both practical and philosophical context - Stav's runic calendar, counting years outside the Christian chronology - The festive year and its connection to the deities - Stav's unique view of Norse cosmology - Sejd and Galder as spiritual practices - Healing modalities including bodywork, energy work, herbs, and shamanic elements - The traditional Stav poem, preserved through generations - An animistic worldview and interpretation of Norse mythology, including the afterlife - Insights to support mental well-being and personal growth - Comparative analysis with other Nordic movement traditions - Stav's mythological history, cross-referenced with historical sources - A thesis on the logic behind the younger futhark and dating the Stav tradition - A biography of Stav's current tradition bearer Whether you're drawn to martial arts, runic wisdom, or embodied spirituality, this book offers a rare gateway into the philosophy of Stav, a tradition both ancient and alive. Once you encounter Stav, your perspective on runes and Norse mythology will never be the same.
