Author Description

The Wanderer's Journal, a pocket-sized (4" x 6") notebook, features a smyth-sewn binding with a ribbon marker and a flexible hardcover with a copper foil embossed image of Odin's ravens, Hugin and Munin, stamped on the front. In addition to 148 blank ruled pages, the journal includes 13 illustrated rune pages with rune translations on the reverse pages. The rune illustrations by E.L. Wilson are based on Dr. Jackson Crawford's handwritten runes from 13 verses he selected from the Norse poem Hávamál. The translations are sourced from Dr. Crawford's frank and down-to-earth translations from "The Cowboy Hávamál," included in his 2019 Hackett Publishing book, The Wanderer's Hávamál. The Old Norse was written with the sixteen-letter Younger Futhark runic alphabet, which is used in this journal.
