Unveiling the occult wisdom and multidimensional layers of meaning hidden within the Nordic Rune stones, Swedish scholar and runologist Thomas Karlsson delves into the enigmatic realm of rune work. Through his examination of the rune work of Swedish mystic and runologist Johannes Bureus (1568-1652) and professor Sigurd Agrell (1881-1937), both devoted their lives to uncovering the secret uses of rune stones concealed from all but the highest initiates, Karlsson unravels the dark side of these ancient symbols.

Karlsson begins his exploration by delving into the Uthark system of divination, often referred to as the Left Hand Path of the runes, which lies concealed beneath the traditional Futhark system. According to the lore of Uthark, a cryptographic ruse was employed to ensure that the uninitiated could never fully comprehend the true order of the runes. By examining Agrell's decryption of the Uthark system, Karlsson reveals striking similarities between the numerology of ancient mystery cults and the Runic tradition. He elucidates the multidimensional meanings of each rune from the Uthark perspective, exploring their relationships with the nine worlds of Norse cosmogony and the magical powers of rune rows and the three aettir rune groupings.

Furthermore, Karlsson delves into the secret dimensions of the 15 "noble" runes, known as the Adulrunes, based on the theories of Johannes Bureus. Drawing upon his knowledge of the Cabbala and alchemy, Bureus created magical symbols using the Adulrunes and even devised a symbol that encompassed all 15 Adulrunes, known as the "Adulruna." Karlsson elucidates Bureus spiritual system of initiation, the Gothic Cabbala, revealing the profound connections between ancient Norse wisdom and the Cabbala.

Karlsson's exploration of the dark or night side of the runes extends beyond rune practices, offering a comprehensive guide to Norse spirituality and the ancient spiritual world. Through his meticulous research and insightful interpretations, Karlsson sheds light on the hidden depths of these ancient symbols, providing a deeper understanding of their enigmatic power and significance.
