Ratings and reviews

This is a scholarly treatise concerning a calendar carved on reindeer horns that was gained from a Laplander in the mid-nineteenth century. It provides considerable insights into the nature of the Nordic calendar as well as into the use of runes. It is very much a book for the specialist. But if you have an interest in runes, the calendar, Nordic culture, or even Finnic culture this book may be useful for you.
