Although the rune renaissance began flourishing in Anglo-American occult circles in the 1970s, the runes have been an integral part of the occult revival in Germany since its inception in the late 19th century, with roots that extend centuries further. Author Edred Thorsson delves into the enigmatic realm of esoteric runology, shedding light on the pioneering work of modern rune magicians such as Guido von List, Friedrich Bernhard Marby, and Rudolf John Gorsleben. Thorsson meticulously explores all four traditional runic systems: the Older Futhark (24 runes), the Anglo-Frisian Futhorc (29-33 runes), the Younger Futhark (16 runes), and the Armanic Futhork (18 runes), developed by Guido von List. In addition, he offers an extensive practical section, detailing powerful runework techniques and exercises such as rune yoga and dance, runic hand gestures (mudras), rune singing (mantras), rune yodeling, runic healing, runic tantra and sex magic, group rites with runes, and two potent methods of engaging transpersonal powers: the Ritual of the Ninth Night and the Ritual of the Grail Cup. Furthermore, Thorsson delves into runic divination, the runic theory of crystals, runic symbolism in medieval German buildings, and runic material from the documents of the Fraternitas Saturni, the Brotherhood of Saturn. By immersing oneself in the world of the runic pioneers and the practices they designed, readers will gain a profound understanding of runes and the magical world from which they emanate.
