Download or read book Revival of the Runes written by Stephen E. Flowers and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-03-02 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: • Explores the five periods of runic revival: the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, the Romantic period, the early 20th century, and the late 20th century • Examines the use of runes by the foremost magicians and scholars of each era, including mystic and scholar Johannes Bureus, who developed his own integrated system of runology known as Adalruna • Reveals how the Nazi misguided use of the runes showed a lack of comprehension of what was being discovered by scientific rune scholars of the day In this exploration of the history of the runes from 1500 CE to the present day, Stephen Edred Flowers examines the five periods of runic revival: the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, the Romantic period, the early 20th century, and the late 20th century. For each period, he discusses both the scholarly studies and those focused on the esoteric mysteries of the runes--and how these two branches of study were at first intertwined yet diverged in later revivals. Focusing in particular on the first runic revival, Flowers examines the use of runes during the Renaissance by the foremost magicians and scholars of the era, including mystic and scholar Johannes Bureus, the “grandfather of integral runology,” who developed his own system known as Adalruna. In his examination of the runic reawakenings of the early and late 20th century, Flowers looks at how the runes were employed as part of a reassessment of Germanic identity, one school of which led to Nazi Germany. He explains how the Nazi use and abuse of the runes was misguided and revealed a lack of comprehension of what earlier rune scholars had discovered through their extensive studies of the past. He also offers a fresh look at the work of Guido von List and clears him of his guilt by association with the Nazis. Detailing the multilayered history of the runes, the author reveals the integrated way the predecessors of today’s rune workers thought and conceived of the runes, highlighting how their discoveries helped shape modern magical practices and scholarly studies. He calls for a return of integral runology as was practiced during the Renaissance and before. By reuniting the two branches of runic study, blending the scientific with the magical, we make way for new discoveries in runology and a chance for a full-scale reawakening of integrated runic knowledge.

Download or read book Runic Amulets and Magic Objects written by Mindy MacLeod and published by Boydell Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fresh examination of one of the most contentious issues in runic scholarship - magical or not? The runic alphabet, in use for well over a thousand years, was employed by various Germanic groups in a variety of ways, including, inevitably, for superstitious and magical rites. Formulaic runic words were inscribed onto small items that could be carried for good luck; runic charms were carved on metal or wooden amulets to ensure peace or prosperity. There are invocations and allusions to pagan and Christian gods and heroes, to spirits of disease, and even to potential lovers. Few such texts are completely unique to Germanic society, and in fact, most of the runic amulets considered in this book show wide-ranging parallels from a variety of European cultures. The question ofwhether runes were magical or not has divided scholarship in the area. Early criticism embraced fantastic notions of runic magic - leading not just to a healthy scepticism, but in some cases to a complete denial of any magical element whatsoever in the runic inscriptions. This book seeks to re-evaulate the whole question of runic sorcery, attested to not only in the medieval Norse literature dealing with runes but primarily in the fascinating magical texts of the runic inscriptions themselves.

Download or read book Runes for Beginners written by Melissa Gomes and published by . This book was released on 2021-12-15 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everything You Need to Know to Interpret, Read and Cast Rune Stones Runes are enigmatic by nature. This is because the word rune itself originates from the Old Norse word runa, which means "secret" and comes likely from either the Proto-Germanic "runo", which means "secret" or "whisper". Since they are ancient symbols, the runes mean little to the untrained eye. But with practice and a little experience with them, you can activate their magical energies to create positive, impactful change in your life. Even so, what are runes exactly? Runes were considered magical symbols used by spirits to communicate with humanity. Not only are runes considered a writing system, but they are engraved stones used to perform magical spells, cast divination, and even add power to conventional writing. The runic alphabet is referred to as the Futhark and consists of 24 symbols. Runic inscriptions are found all over the world, but especially in Northern Europe. The runic alphabet is broken down into three groups: The Younger Futhark (16 symbols), the Elder Futhark (24 symbols) and the Anglo-Saxon Futhark (between 26 and 33 symbols). The knowledge of runes has been passed down through the centuries, and it is an important form of divination for modern pagans. In Runes for Beginners, best-selling author Melissa Gomes explores the history and mythology of the runes, as well as their day-to-day uses in divination, magic, and witchcraft. Runes for Beginners is completely accessible to those with no experience in Norse mythology, heathenry or paganism. It is written with an eye toward those starting on their journey into the Viking spirit. Melissa provides a basic introduction to runes and their lore, and she explains how to get in touch with them through the senses. You will emerge from this guide with a solid understanding of the Nordic runes' role in heathenry and with a firm foundation of knowledge to build your own runic practice, regardless of your religious or spiritual pagan path. The rune symbols are central to Nordic pagans' magical systems and can be used in various ways depending upon the tradition and your intent. Each runic symbol represents a specific type of energy, and these energies can be used to achieve a multitude of goals, spanning from protection to fertility, wisdom, or love. Runes can be used as divination tools in the ordinary sense that we use tarot cards today, or in a magical sense to interpret fate. In Runes for Beginners, you'll learn how to use runes for divination, magic, and witchcraft, including: History of runes and their role in Norse Magic The origins of rune wisdom in Norse Mythology An overview of the Elder Futhark runes, including their names and magical uses Elder Futhark rune meanings for both divination and spellwork Tips for successful divination Rituals for casting the runes Traditional and contemporary rune spreads After reading the book, you will be able to look at the runes and interpret their meanings.
