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.<br/><br/> 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.<br/> Inside, you'll discover:<br/><br/> -A reintroduction to Heimdall from a Stav perspective<br/><br/> -The Norse castes as archetypes, offering insights into life and conflict<br/><br/> -Rune associations with deities, trees, herbs, and body postures<br/><br/> -The true meaning and authentic name of the symbol known as the "Web of Wyrd"<br/><br/> -Bindrunes and runic divination as practical tools<br/><br/> -Runestances, a meditative practice reminiscent of Tai Chi, forming the foundation of Stav's martial art<br/><br/> -Stav's martial arts in both practical and philosophical context<br/><br/> -Stav's runic calendar, counting years outside the Christian chronology<br/><br/> -The festive year and its connection to the deities<br/><br/> -Stav's unique view of Norse cosmology<br/><br/> -Sejd and Galder as spiritual practices<br/><br/> -Healing modalities including bodywork, energy work, herbs, and shamanic elements<br/><br/> -The traditional Stav poem, preserved through generations<br/><br/> -An animistic worldview and interpretation of Norse mythology, including the afterlife<br/><br/> -Insights to support mental well-being and personal growth<br/><br/> -Comparative analysis with other Nordic movement traditions<br/><br/> -Stav's mythological history, cross-referenced with historical sources<br/><br/> -A thesis on the logic behind the younger futhark and dating the Stav tradition<br/><br/> -A biography of Stav's current tradition bearer<br/><br/> 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.<br/><br/> Once you encounter Stav, your perspective on runes and Norse mythology will never be the same.

Every day we&apos;re bombarded with methods, mantras and life-hacks that promise us mindfulness, prosperity and wellness. We read countless self-help books to unlock the seven habits, twelve rules or one big secret to living a long and happy life, while time and talent remain some of our most squandered resources. The average full-time worker will spend 80,000 hours at their job: are you making the most of them? Do you truly believe in what you do, day in day out? Maybe you want to do something else with your limited time on the planet. Maybe your own happiness isn&apos;t your only life goal, or you don&apos;t want to get to your deathbed with the gnawing feeling you had much more in you. In that case, you&apos;ll need a different kind of book. Internationally bestselling author Rutger Bregman shows us that with moral ambition &ndash; the will to make the world a wildly better place &ndash; it is possible to be both idealistic and successful, and to change the world along the way. Looking to the great change-makers of history, he uncovers the qualities that made them so persuasive, influential and effective, and shows how we, too, can lend our talents to the biggest challenges of our time, from climate change to gross inequality to the next pandemic. With moral ambition, we can do more than be on the right side of history: we can make history itself. This is not a self-help book. It won&apos;t make your life easier &ndash; but it should make it more meaningful. The question is: what will you do with it?

Ivar Segelberg (19141987), between 1951 and 1979 professor of philosophy in Gothenburg, is an important figure in Swedish philosophy but still only known within a rather narrow circle. Trained in both phenomenology and analytical philosophy, Segelberg developed highly original theories about time con­sciousness, the unity of consciousness, and general ontology. He published his three main works in Swedish, and only in 1999 were they (collectively) made available in English. The present volume will hopefully help make Segelbergs work more widely known. It is partly based on a 2008 symposium in Gothenburg, also called Philosophy and Botany, but contains several independent contributions including a newly written biography.
