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.
The author, Roland Zerpe, is a tradition-bearer and community organizer working with the Stav tradition, a Scandinavian system integrating runic knowledge, martial training, and Norse cosmology. His work focuses on clarifying the historical and philosophical foundations of Stav and presenting them in a coherent and accessible form.
With long-term experience in the tradition as both practitioner and teacher, Zerpe has contributed to placing Stav in its Scandinavian context and to documenting its runic and cosmological structure. His writing is known for its clarity, precision, and emphasis on historical grounding. This book represents the most comprehensive presentation of Stav to date.
