A Runic Classic Preserved
Siegfried Adolf Kummer, along with Friedrich Bernhard Marby and Guido
von List, was one of the great practical Runemasters of the early part of the
20th century. Rune-Magic preserves in a direct way the techniques and lore
of the Armanen form of runology.
Here the reader will learn some of the most original lore concerning such
things as:
Rune-Yoga
Runic Hand-Signs (or mudras)
Runic "Yodling"
The Magical Formulation of the Grail-Chalice
Keys to Runic Healing
A Document of Historical Importance
In this volume Thorsson preserves the text unaltered from its first
appearance just a year before the National Socialists came to power in
Germany. Sections of Rune-Magic will be found to be controversial by
some, but Runa-Raven feels that for the sake of historical accuracy, and as
a sign of respect for the intelligence of the reader, the text should stand as
originally written in 1932.
We must seek to preserve the roots of the Runic tradition where ever we
find them. These roots are to be studied and understood for the value they
have. For no one knows what wisdom might rise from these roots in the is-
to-be.

Editor's Introduction
Siegfried Adolf Kummer was born in 1899 and was one of the pioneers of
operative Runic studies in the early part of the 20th century. Little is known
of his life or of his fate in the wake of the historical events of the Nazi era.
He, along with Friedrich Bernhard Marby, was criticized by name in a
report made to Heinrich Himmler by his chief esoteric runologist Karl
Maria Wiligut. But what his fate was is unknown. At least one report has
him fleeing Nazi Germany in exile to South America.
Kummer lived in and around Dresden in the years before the assumption of
power by the National Socialists in 1933. He founded his Rune-School
Runa in 1927. This presumably remained in operation until the National
Socialist regime closed down all such organized activity soon after coming
to power in 1933.
Runen-Magic was first published in 1933 as a part of the Germanische

Schriftenfolge [Teutonic Writings Series]. It is to some extent a practical
condensation of his larger work, Heilige Runenmacht published in 1932.
To understand Kummer's work completely, you will have to understand the

magical world of Guido von List (1848-1919), the grandfather of the
Germanic magical revival. The best introduction to List's ideas can be
found in The Secret of the Runes, translated and introduced by Stephen E.
Flowers in 1988. Also my Rune Might (Llewellyn, 1989) contains a
historical and practical introduction to that world of Armanic rune magic
generally pioneered by List.
Kummer's work largely belongs to that school of occult thinking prevalent

in Germany during the first few decades of the 20th century which is
sometimes called "Ariosophy" today. (This is a term coined by Lanz von
Liebenfels based on analogy with the other "-sophies" of the day:
Theosophy and Anthroposophy.) But more specifically Kummer identified
himself as an Armanist, the school founded by Guido von List. Three of the
most important general tenets of Armanism are:
1) All dualities, such as those between the body and the soul, or between
humanity and nature, are both real at one level and only apparent at
another. There is a singular essence, but it finds itself in differing
conditions, which cause it to appear in various forms. But the conditions
are in turn also real. This is the key to why techniques for the modification
of physical conditions (eugenics, gymnastics, etc.) are seen in spiritual
terms by Armanists.
terms by Armanists.
2) All things in the cosmos are subject to a threefold cyclical process of

Arising-Being-Passing away to new Arising: Birth-Life-Death / Rebirth.
This is the key to the evolution of the individual and of the ethnic unit.
3) Ancient Armanic cultural features were not wiped out by the coming of
Christianity -- but found refuge in the symbolism used by the church itself
and in folk customs. Today these await decoding that they may once again
live in their rightful place.
These tenets are further explained in S. E. Flowers' introduction to Guido

von List's The Secret of the Runes. Examples of all of them can be found in
the pages of Kummer's Rune-Magic.
The idea of "Ariosophy" as such also involves the Theosophical notion of

there being an evolutionary process at the leading edge of which the
"Aryan" stands. Ariosophy also includes the specific idea that there was a
time period in which "god-men" and "beast-men" existed as separate
species, but that at a certain time in the distant past they began to interbreed
-- resulting in the present form of homo sapiens. Ariosophy preaches the
necessity of "breeding out" the "beast-man" characteristics to return to
the former divine state of the "god-man."
Theozoology, or the Science of the Sodomite Apelings and the

Divine Electron, by Dr. Jorg Lanz von Liebenfels
The adulterous and sensual woman belongs in the

whorehouse, the honor of motherhood is withdrawn
from her and her name is blotted out of the book of
life. Likewise criminals, the mentally ill, or those
with hereditary diseases should be prevented from
reproducing. If we only allow fit persons to
reproduce, the hospitals, prisons and the giant
criminal justice system will become superfluous.
Pure-breeding is the priority for true disciples of the
Logos, who abhor all bastardizing mongrelization as
both contrary to law and Godless. (Const. ap. p.
168). Do not drink of "strange" (apeling's) water,
drink from your own well (Prov. V.15)! Hold
yourself back from the "stranger" (= apeling)
(Sibylline Oracles II)! Avoid Sodomy and copulation
(Sibylline Oracles II)! Avoid Sodomy and copulation

with the hobgoblins of pleasure, rear your own
species (Sib. III,762). Every man should avoid
marrying a woman who has whored around a lot if
he wants to generate descendents. The male semen
has an effect on the woman such that the child, even
when it comes from a legitimate father, still inherits
characteristics from all those men with whom the
wife has had premarital or extramarital intercourse. It
is for this reason that the old laws favor marriage
with virgins, the privilege of the first-born and draw
a sharp distinction between the sexual rights of
women and men. Just as different races of men have
unequal rights, so too do men and women have
unequal rights. The old custom of law which allowed
the lord of the manor to sleep with every virgin first
proves that the ancients knew that it is the man who
is responsible for breeding the race upward.
Dear ladies, tell me honestly, whose wives would

you be today if noble men, if god-like Siegfrieds,
had not torn you away from the Sodomite monsters,
if they had not put you in warm nests, if they had
not defended you -- sword in hand -- throughout
thousands and thousands of years against Slavs,
Mongols, Moors and Turks? Choose between us and
those sons of Sodom, have yourselves sexually
serviced on the mound of corpses of your husbands
who fell in battle -- as so many of your mothers'
mothers did! Take them to your husbands' houses, so
they can make harem slaves of you, so you can
become the mother of a brood of lascivious,
bloodthirsty beasts, who know no motherly or wifely
love! What woman is today she has become thanks
to the sword and power of man. Man wrestled
woman from the apes of Sodom, and for this reason
she is his property! --
The man must assume leadership in the up-breeding

of humanity, the woman must follow him. The man
is the head and object of woman; Christ, the future
is the head and object of woman; Christ, the future

God-Man, is the head and object of man (Eph. V.23;
Col. III. 1. Woman still today loves pleasure-apes
and makes the effort to breed humanity downward.
The so-called "modern woman" of free love finds
herself depressed by melancholy and vague longings.
She longs for the burning "tender Sodomite pieces of
wood," for all those completely wild lascivious
beasts. The chalices of Sodom are going into
decline, "all have become pieces of wood in their
houses," the wells of Sodom are vanquished, for a
new, strong human species is growing which seeks
something else in a woman other than a diversion for
his sexual parts. The modern woman, however, is,
fleeing the Germanic man and would rather make
children with Slavs and Mediterraneans (E. Key
Liebe u. Ehe, p. 468)
A nameless longing is unconsciously driving

hysterical women into the churches and to the
pastors -- to the one-time groves of lascivious
hobgoblins and the one-time temples of the dealers
in Sodomite apes. The savage and unbridled human
sexual passions are harmful and unhealthy. Husband
and wife must get closer to one another and love
each other in a cooler way, yet in a way which is all
the more spiritual and freer. In the Logia of the Lord
it is said: "When you trample the garment of shame
with your feet and when the two become one and
man is neither man nor woman with his wife, then
the kingdom of heaven will he upon us." In the
Resurrection there will be no more marriage, humans
will once more be angels. i.e. -- hermaphrodites (Mt.
XXII.30; the state of bees and ants!). We will no
longer generate men by means of carnal intercourse,
but rather perhaps by means of radiation. Jesus came
to abolish the work of woman (Logia). We will once
more become similar to the electrical God-men
physically as well -- we shall again become pure
Gods. We must take off the dark pelt of the ape and
put on the shining breast-plate of the God-Man
put on the shining breast-plate of the God-Man

(Rom. XIII.12). We come from God and to God we
will return, that is the great secret of the
transmigration of souls, of the process of becoming
man, of the suffering, of the death and of the
Resurrection, the return, and of the great Supper (Jn.
VI.35) of the Gods. Christ is the original-man of the
past and the evolved-man of the future, he is the A
and the , beginning and end. Women must have
themselves "baptized" in the holy temple-well of
Siloam, the "waters" of which bubble coolly and
softly (Jn. IX.7; Is. VIII.6). Cold Boreas must again
sweep through the withered garden of mankind and
Nordic blood extinguish the southern ape-rut. (Cant
IV.16).
Agape, pure love devoid of any ape-nature, yet love

in an entirely sexual sense, is the innermost kernel of
the doctrine of Jesus. Only in this way can the
otherwise theologically inexplicable pagan portrayals
of the lust-filled revels (agape-feasts, Eucharists =
love between men and women), cupids, and couples
embracing in love found in the catacombs be
explained. Our blond-haired baby Jesus is certainly
no one other than Bacchus, Cupid and Skeaf! Cupid
and Psyche (Fig. 3 are even seen quite often in
primitive Christian iconography and between them is
usually the basket (kepos) with Sodomite bread
which they have refused (while the lascivious naked
woman in Fig. 37 cannot separate herself from the
Sodomite basket in her lap.
So let us lay off playing the harps of Sodom and

play the harps of men (Clemens Al protrept.), so that
Apollo's holy swans can return and we can again
become a congregation of Gods. German men, play
on "human harps," love the strong loyal, Nordic
woman in whom the divine electron still slumbers.
The Fire Regained, by Sidney M. Hirsch
Athene grave-eyed hath granted our boon,

Yea wisdom unweighted enveiled the rune!
And stone to be doubled, ... the riddle is ceased;
In new birth is now added, ... of the Best to the
beast.
Now him double-natured, ... the mortal adds man,
No longer obdurate, Jove's purpose can scan.
Trust now to ordeal, seeking laurel coronal.
Diadem rarest of Saturn's supernal
Be Here Now, by Ram Dass
"Diadem rarest of Saturn's supernal"
There are several statements made, or sentiments expressed, by S. A.

Kummer in the text of Rune-Magic which might be found to be "offensive"
by the politically correct, and some that are factually erroneous. Rather than
censoring Kummer, or arbitrarily editing him, we have translated his work
as it stood in 1933. This is in keeping with the general editorial philosophy
of the publisher not to "sanitize" controversial works. It is felt that the
documents will have more historical, as well as intellectual, value if they
are allowed to speak for themselves. Notes have been added to the text
where warranted.
When translating any of the Ariosophical literature there are always

problems regarding word-plays the original writers use, which may be
problems regarding word-plays the original writers use, which may be

impossible to represent in English terms. Where possible cognate
translations are used which preserve the sound correspondences or
word-play. But sometimes other solutions must be found. Words appearing
in square brackets [ ] are information not belonging to the translation proper
but which has been included by the editor. This is often an original German
word, the form of which may be helpful to the understanding of the magical
or poetic logic of the text. Or bracketed words may be etymological
translations of certain "magical words" or names in the original German
text. These measures have been found to be necessary in the translation
simply because so much of the linguistic magic of the Armanen is
dependent on similar sounding words or folk-etymological word-plays.

Author's Introduction
Rune-magic is the great knowledge of cosmic energies, the recognition of

hidden energies of nature, of the subtle heavenly, as well as earthly streams,
waves, entities, and powers. All forms of higher wisdom, all secret
knowledge of the world, are but fragments, and through the course of time
have been for the most part distorted and corrupted; but at one time it had
its origin in the divine, Aryan magic of the Runes. All languages of the
world are derived from the Aryo-Germanic mother-tongue, which is
both magical and alive. The Germanic Runic script is the script of all
scripts. Runes are not just letters or verbal symbols, but primal
symbols of a living magical nature which whisper to us. These may be
experienced physically through Runic postures and dances and are useful
for your own well-being and even for the blessing of all mankind. Whoever
physically forms and experiences the Runes in a pure and conscious
manner, will have great secrets opened to him, if he practices, vibrates,
and dances in the radio waves, subtle currents and flowing energies of
the All. Accompanying ideal higher development, clairvoyance, astral
perceptions, heightened psychic ability and prophetic vision will arise in the
Runer, in the practitioner.
In the small manuscript before you I can give only a few gems from the
great treasure trove of Aryan wisdom and Rune-magic, but these will be of
great use to the reader and will lead him into the Way of the Grail. To
anyone who has greater interest in Runic history, magic and mysteries I
anyone who has greater interest in Runic history, magic and mysteries I
recommend my work, Heilige Runenmacht. [1]
The following exercises and instructions may be undertaken only with

noble and pure thoughts -- the blessings of the Runes will not fail.
Hail him who learns it!

Hail him who teaches it!
Therefore take advantage of
The blessing, ye who hear it! [2]
Alaf sig runa! [3]

The 18 -- Rune Row
Other than the oldest Runic Futhork (alphabet), which has 18 runes and
corresponds to the "Rune Poem" of the "Havamal," [4] there are various
other Rune-rows.
Primarily the oldest, the 18-Rune, Futhork comes into consideration, for
penetrating into higher Rune-wisdom, into the Runic mysteries, with the

animals, and the messengers of the sacred fathers
within the holy four.
4. This was the army of the voice the divine

mother of the seven. The sparks of the seven are
subject to, and the servants of, the first, the second,

seventh of the seven. These sparks are called
spheres, triangles, cubes, lines, and modellers; for
thus stands the Eternal Nidana the Oeaohoo,
which is:

Eternal in human hearts. Gibur Arahari! = Man, be one with God! -- or --
Give us primal power, Soul of the Sun, Arahari! Numerical value 18.
The Magical Rune-Circle
Magic circles should be drawn on the ground with green chalk, names
and Runes with red chalk. The Runer should always begin in the
North (Fa-Rune). The candlestick, holy water and censer are to be
used only at night for magical consecrations. While drawing the magical
Rune-circle, the Runer should meditate spiritually, recite a prayer or the
Rune banishing. [14] When the drawing is completed the Runer should
stand in the center of the circle, in which he can now move freely to
devote himself to the Rune-postures, meditations, or Rune-signs,
protected against bad influences, thoughts and currents. The Rune-
circle is one of the most effective means of protection and defence for
magical operations, as well as for Rune-postures and sensing the Runes.
Upon completion of the exercise or magical operation, the Runer should
thoroughly wipe away the circle from the inside outward, during which time
he should again recite a prayer or the Rune banishing.
Forming and Sensing the Man-Rune
Man-Rune
Form the M -- grasp the Aethers,

As did thine Aryo-Germanic fathers,
Thou sensest in thee a whispering and singing,
Which to thee a holy message is bringing.
The Runer should take up the well-known basic military position (at
attention) -- the Is-Rune -- facing North or East. The posture is erect, the
chin is slightly drawn in, the back arched. The hands are held at the sides,
the heels close together, toes pointed outward. Any rigid exaggeration of the
posture must be avoided. The Runer should inhale and exhale deeply three
times. With this exercise the Runer has to purify himself and ready himself
for the reception of divine Rune-currents. He should raise both arms
diagonally upward, so that he forms the human M-Rune, as shown in the
drawing above. The palms are turned upward and slightly cupped.
The Runer should now begin to hum; m-m-m, to slow, deep breathing. You
should begin soft and deep, let the tone swell and rise to the highest pitch,
then sink slowly again to a deep tone. The m is to be hummed at all tone
levels and in different volumes; it can also be sung in a siren-like fashion.
You should imitate the humming of bees.
The whole formula is to be repeated for half an hour, with good, deep
breathing. If your arms become tired, they can be held for short pauses in
breathing. If your arms become tired, they can be held for short pauses in
the Is-Rune position, during which time, however, you should continue to
meditate spiritually on the reception of subtle cosmic energies.
The subtle currents of the All-power, like radio waves, flood into the back
of the Runer's head, flow through the back and sympathetic nerves and
gather in the solar plexus and around the navel. At the same time subtle
waves of power flow into the palms of the hands (hand centers), flood
through your arms, stimulate the thymus gland (in the center of the chest),
join with the streams of the All-power in the sympathetic nerves, activate
the spleen, and strengthen the gathered currents of power in the solar
plexus, from where they fade away through the navel into the aura. To
some extent, they also flow through the legs and then through the foot
centers (in the middle of the feet) into the earth, into the place you are
standing. This process is repeated throughout the entire practice session and
brings about a strange, blissful, beautiful feeling -- a fine ringing and
vibration in the practitioner. The glands and higher centers of the body
begin to sparkle; the inner Self is freed from the constricting bonds of
the body; flashes of thought, ancestral memories and astral perception
dawn from within the Runer.
You can feel and sense the cosmos, the world, in yourself whenever you
hum the tones of the Man-Rune. Every Rune has a different type of current,
a different strength, vibration, and rhythm. Those who understand it and
learn to connect themselves consciously to the All-current of the Man-Rune
become conscious magicians and masters of their Fates.
The Man-Rune may be felt in other related types of current by means of the
following sound-formulas:
ma-me-mi-mo-mu

After ending the exercise the Runer should drain off any energies which
have been too strongly accumulated, or unfavorable waves accumulated
through false thoughts, in the following manner:
In the Man-Rune posture, hum the m in a high tone, then sink to the lowest
tone, while thinking, consciously willing, that all waves harmful to the
Spirit, Soul and Body are bound to the tone vibrating in the body, and flow
through the body and fade away under the soles of his feet into the earth
with the deepest tone.
with the deepest tone.
The Formation of the Grail-Chalice
Man-Rune
The formation of the Grail-Chalice should only be attempted after the Man-
Rune has been practiced for at least 20 minutes beforehand; otherwise the
aura of the Runer will not be sufficiently charged with subtle energies, and
the Runic antenna-net will not have been developed. This is absolutely
essential for the formation of the Grail-Chalice.
The Runer should again strike the Man-Rune posture. The hands are
stretched upward in the form of a chalice. The head is raised; the eyes
directed serenely into the All. Your weight should be placed on the left
foot, while the right foot rests lightly to the side. In this way the astral
power centers of the body are most strongly activated. Due to this
position, the Rune-stream, the subtle current of energy, is unable to
dissipate sufficiently through just the one foot into the earth and seeks
an escape through the navel into the aura, where it then, in
conjunction with the fading energies from the mouth, forms the Grail-
conjunction with the fading energies from the mouth, forms the Grail-
Chalice. Standing in this position the Runer will feel a rather strong
prickling sensation in and around the navel.
Now the Runer should sing the formula: O-o-m-m rhythmically, like,
for example, the chiming of church bells, while he imagines that from his
mouth emanate rings of subtle energy which vibrate around his whole body
and increasingly complete the Grail-Chalice, which finally results in a
strong, magnetic center of Light which attracts higher, spiritual, cosmic
influences. It is important for this mysterious exercise that a pure, noble
state of mind be in control of desires and efforts toward Universal Love and
higher development. During the singing you should think as follows:
Fa-tor, I call to Thee,

With All-power stream through me,
The Grail in me awake,
Threefold in Love a Tyr's oath I take.
Those well connected within the Cosmos are able to build around
themselves a very strong Odic mist -- the so-called "cape of invisibility"
[Tarnkappe]. [15]
In order to materialize the vibrating Grail-Chalice even more, the

Runer should turn counterclockwise in a circle on the left foot. As you
rhythmically sing the formula in various pitches and volumes, breathing
deeply. In this position Runers receive counsel, knowledge and astral
perceptions -- according to their levels of development.
After ending the exercise, a good discharge of power is to be undertaken, as

explained in the Man-Rune exercise. Finally, there follows a 10-minute
pause of listening and waiting in inner peace and silence.
In the short text before you, I am unable to go into the further secrets
concerning the formation of the Grail-Chalice -- to seekers the foregoing
will suffice for them to be able to penetrate further into this mystery of the
Runes. Hail and Victory [16] to them on the Way of the Grail! The Grail is
in its highest meaning nothing other than the holy vessel of the All, the
self-contained All which pure Runers build around themselves.
as thou art,
so is thy Grail!
In old yodels and cheers we recognize the ancient Aryan name of god:
Ja-Je-Jo-Ju, [17] This is the god of jubilation, of joy and yea-saying --
but also the name for the Ju-Gu, Goths, or Nation of God. In yodels we
recognize the Germanic Rune-cult, the sacred songs and battle yells of
our forefathers, which have survived in our mountain regions to the
present day. Yodels are linked to song-like melodies and are sung in
specific arrangements of tone and word. There are no arbitrary aspects to
these ancient traditional yodels, for they are connected to quite precise
formulas -- magical powers of the Runes and of words.
In olden times yodels were sung only together with specified bodily
exercises -- Rune postures and dances -- which notably increased their
magical effects. Yodels are a form of worship -- Nature-bound prayer to
the All-father -- the one great God of the Worlds. Thus, our ancestors, in
the highest affirmation of life, celebrated the Yod-ler, the God-ler, and the
Yell-er, as a song of thanks and a prayer of joy to their God of Jubilation,
the god Baal (Bal, Dur). Now, as millennia ago, yodels are sung by our
Alpine dwellers and mountain-folk. Even if the deeper sense is lost to them,
the powers of the Runes still work and produce in the yodler a great joy of
life and an extremely close bond with nature, which helps our mountain
folk through every hardship in life.
R. J. Gorsleben calls the Ju-ra Mountains, which extend throughout

southern Germany, the center of the former cultic prominence of the god
Ju. A very large number of old Ju-cult centers are still preserved.
I am convinced that in olden times yodels were practiced in the far north
and in northern and central Germany. The yodels which have survived
can only be regarded as remnants of old Germanic songs of
sanctification, battle yells and songs of healing from a time long before
the coming of Christianity. As a battle song they must have produced a
colossal magical effect upon the enemy. In the magazine Der Germane (vol.
3), J. Nase writes the following:
"To support the view of the great age and the holy meaning of
the yodel, I should like to refer here to the oldest historical
evidence (next to the Tacitus passage) [18] available to me for
their appearance; which to be sure, apparently speaks of yodels
with word texts. It is to be found in the appendix of the work
Misopogon by the later Roman Emperor Julian the Apostate, and
reads in translation:
reads in translation:
'So I saw the barbarians (in Germania) on the other

side of the Rhine singing passionate tunes with words
which resembled the cry of cackling hens, and (I saw)
their joy in these songs.'
Forgive me, if this translation is incorrect! On the basis of this

passage, stories have always been told about how the singing of
Germanic folk resembled the croaking of birds of prey."
Julian, who himself fought against the Germanic peoples, probably does not
have in mind here the battle song of the Germanic tribes. In this case he
would probably have said: "So I heard," instead of "So I saw." Because of
this latter expression, as well as the emphasis on the joy of the Germanic
people in these melodies described as being passionate, one begins to
suspect that the passage deals with the observation of a legislative Thing-
assembly of a Germanic tribe supporting the field commander, then allied
with the Romans. His comparison of the reported manner of song with the
cackling of hens, in spite of the apparently disparaging manner of
expression of a foreign observer, is nonetheless quite vivid, and one can
recognize in this an authentic description of yodeling, when one thinks
about the first part of the stanza, arranged for several voices, with the long
drawn out ending.
Since Julian's Germanic campaign obviously did not concern mountain

people whose customs he was observing, his testimony may therefore
further serve to establish the fact that yodeling as Runic and sacralized song
was the expression of a widespread, common Germanic custom. Its present
occurrence only among the residents of the Alps demonstrates to us the
tenacity of the life-span of ancient Germanic ethnic treasures, which must
be described as spiritual treasures. So, again, it is not difficult to recognize
the manner of the barditus, or battle song, described by Tacitus in his
Germania in part as yodeling. He writes:
"Further, they know such songs called barditus; through their utterance they
quicken the spirit of battle, and from the song itself they prophesy the
outcome of the coming engagement. As the song rises out of the ranks, they
arouse fear or foster fear, and the song expresses, as it were, almost the beat
of brave hearts as the joined sound of single voices. Primarily, it is in a raw
tone and almost a muffled din. While singing, they hold their shields in
front of their mouths to allow the sound to swell fuller and stronger through
front of their mouths to allow the sound to swell fuller and stronger through
the echo." [19]
Through the previous exercises, new light falls on this famous passage.
Guido von List gives an enlightening explanation in his Ursprache fur die
Jodlerart der Selbstlaute [Primeval-Language for Yodeling the Vowels], as
to how yodeling is involved with ancient Germanic customs. He directs
our attention to the threefold mystical sense added in ancient times to
the vowels A, E, I, 0, U. [20] This idea still has echoes in the fact that a! is
the outburst of amazement, of wonderment, but also of contempt. Likewise,
e! is the cry of a sense of justice, of regret and of inhibition; i! is the cry of
inwardness, of stress of the ego or of the individual personality, as well as
of fear; while o! serves as the expression of pain, of aversion and of fear of
death; as u! serves as a shout of joy and surprise, of spurring on to
energetic endeavor, and as a cry of terror. The Germanic people were
thoroughly shaped by mystical values.
This ancient sense of the vowels is again related to their mystical primal
meaning as symbolic sounds, namely, a as the fundamental sound of the
meaning of shaping [Schaffen] and mastering [Walten]; e as the
fundamental sound of decreeing [Gesetz], ethics [Recht] and being [Leben];
i is the fundamental sound of inwardness, of spiritual light; o is the
fundamental sound for the corporeal, for order; u is the fundamental sound
for that which was perfected in the pre-temporal All-Perfected -- the Ur --
the Height, ruling from the Beyond.
These developments in the study of language strengthen the view that the
age of yodeling reaches back deep into the earliest times of the Aryo-
Germanic tribes.
"The Borgias," by Alexandre Dumas, Pere
The Imperial throne was occupied by Frederic

III, who had been rightly named the Peaceful, not
for the reason that he had always maintained
peace, but because, having constantly been
beaten, he had always been forced to make it.
The first proof he had given of this very
philosophical forbearance was during his journey
to Rome, whither he betook himself to be
consecrated. In crossing the Apennines he was
consecrated. In crossing the Apennines he was

attacked by brigands. They robbed him, but he
made no pursuit. And so, encouraged by example
and by the impunity of lesser thieves, the greater
ones soon took part in the robberies. Amurath
seized part of Hungary, Mathias Corvinus took
Lower Austria, and Frederic consoled himself for
these usurpations by repeating the maxim,
Forgetfulness is the best cure for the losses we
suffer. At the time we have now reached, he had
just, after a reign of fifty-three years, affianced
his son Maximilian to Marie of Burgundy and
had put under the ban of the Empire his son-in-
law, Albert of Bavaria, who laid claim to the
ownership of the Tyrol. He was therefore too full
of his family affairs to be troubled about Italy.
Besides, he was busy looking for a motto for the
house of Austria, an occupation of the highest
importance for a man of the character of Frederic
III. This motto, which Charles V was destined
almost to render true, was at last discovered, to
the great joy of the old emperor, who, judging
that he had nothing more to do on earth after he
had given this last proof of sagacity, died on the
19th of August, 1493, leaving the empire to his
son Maximilian.
This motto was simply founded on the five

vowels, a, e, i, o, u, the initial letters of these five
words
"AUSTRIAE EST IMPERARE

ORBI UNIVERSO."
This means
"It is the destiny of Austria to rule over the

whole world."
So much for Germany.
The Convivio, by Dante Alighieri
In the third chapter of this book, a promise was

made to discuss the loftiness of the imperial and
philosophic authorities. Therefore having discussed
the imperial authority, I must continue my
digression and take up the subject of the authority of
the Philosopher, in keeping with my promise. Here
we must first observe what this word "authority"
means, for there is a greater necessity to know this
in discussing the philosophic as opposed to the
imperial authority, which by virtue of its majesty
does not seem open to question. It should be
known, then, that "authority" is nothing but "the
pronouncement of an author."
This word, namely "auctor" without the third letter

c, has two possible sources of derivation. One is a
verb that has very much fallen out of use in Latin
and which signifies more or less "to tie words
together," that is, "auieo." Anyone who studies it
carefully in its first form will observe that it
displays its own meaning, for it is made up only of
the ties of words, that is, of the five vowels alone,
which are the soul and tie of every word, and is
composed of them in a different order, so as to
portray the image of a tie. For beginning with A it
turns back to U, goes straight through to I and E,
then turns back and comes to O, so that it truly
portrays this image: A, E, I, O, U, which is the
figure of a tie. Insofar as "author" is derived and
comes from this verb, it is used only to refer to
poets who have tied their words together with the
art of poetry; but at present we are not concerned
with this meaning. The other source from which
"author" derives, as Uguccione attests in the
beginning of his book Derivations, is a Greek word
pronounced "autentin" which in Latin means
"worthy of faith and obedience." Thus "author," in
this derivation, is used for any person deserving of
being believed and obeyed. From this comes the
word which we are presently treating, namely
"authority"; hence we can see that authority means
"authority"; hence we can see that authority means

"pronouncement worthy of faith and obedience."
Yodeling is also related to the time of the solstices, hence hulen and julen,
Hail and Yule, as opposites, like struggle and victory. R. J. Gorsleben
writes in his work Die Hoch-Zeit der Menschheit [Zenith of Mankind]:
"Hu is a high celestial god of the Aryo-Atlanteans, whom we find

widespread in the divine syllables Ju, Jo, Ja, Je; who also is hidden in the
names Ju-ra (the Ural mountains), Ju-ropa = Europa; also in the Ju-hymns
to the Ju-baal = the Jubilee-God of the Alpine folk, in the cheers and
yodels (Godly songs), in the Hul and Jul [Yule], the two solstices, with
their annual feasts. In the old village of Freesen in Thuringia, at the time of
the Summer Solstice, the young girls call to the young men: 'Hihu!' and the
latter reply in a deep voice: 'Hexe!' [witch!] In other places they call:
'Yuhu!'"
"The Turning Wheel," The Philip K. Dick Reader
The Tinkerists were a small cult; they claimed only

a few hundred members, all drawn from the Techno
class, which was the most despised of the social
castes. The Bards, of course, were at the top; they
were the teachers of society, the holy men who
guided man to clearness. Then the Poets; they
turned into saga the great legends of Elron Hu,
who lived (according to legend) in the hideous
days of the Time of Madness. Below the Poets
were the Artists; then the Musicians; then the
Workers, who supervised the robot crews. After
them the Businessmen, the Warriors, the Farmers,
and finally, at the bottom, the Technos.
Most of the Technos were Caucasians -- immense

white-skinned things, incredibly hairy, like apes;
their resemblance to the great apes was striking.
Perhaps Broken Feather was right; perhaps they did
have Neanderthal blood, and were outside the
possibility of clearness. Sung-wu had always
considered himself an anti-racist; he disliked those
considered himself an anti-racist; he disliked those

who maintained the Caucasians were a race apart.
Extremists believed eternal damage would result to
the species if the Caucasians were allowed to
intermarry.
In any case, the problem was academic; no decent,

self-respecting woman of the higher classes -- of
Indian or Mongolian, or Bantu stock -- would allow
herself to be approached by a Cauc.
Below his ship, the barren countryside spread out,

ugly and bleak. Great red spots that hadn't yet been
overgrown, and slag surfaces were still visible, but
by this time most ruins were covered by soil and
crabgrass. He could see men and robots farming;
villages, countless tiny brown circles in the green
fields; occasional ruins of ancient cities -- gaping
sores like blind mouths, eternally open to the sky.
They would never close, not now.
Ahead was the Detroit area; named, so it ran, for

some now-forgotten spiritual leader. There were
more villages, here. Off to his left, the leaden
surface of a body of water, a lake of some kind.
Beyond that -- only Elron knew. No one went that
far; there was no human life there, only wild
animals and deformed things spawned from
radiation infestation still lying heavy in the north.
In the word yodel the name of God -- Yott is present, still

unadulterated. Our German word Ja [yea], the affirmation, the
affirmative movement, went out with the waves of Aryan conquerors
and became the divine name Ya-weh, Yeho-va, Yo, Ya, Ye, Yuh. The
word "Yu-hu," in which both divine names are connected, contains the
expression of the absolute highest affirmation of Life which is in the
Divine. The syllables Yo-Go also express Life and Movement and
became the priestly name of Jona, "going," English "to go"; those
traveling the Sun's path in the holy circles of stone of the island of Jo-
na, an Atlantean nucleus in Scotland. In the Celtic regions of Ireland and
na, an Atlantean nucleus in Scotland. In the Celtic regions of Ireland and

Scotland, Hu-man was principally honored.
The Secret Doctrine -- The Synthesis of Science, Religion, and

Philosophy, by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky
This is demonstrated in the Jewish Liturgy for

Pentecost, and the prayer, In the name of Unity, of
the Holy and Blessed Hu (He), and His Shekinah,
the Hidden and Concealed Hu, blessed be YHVH
(the Quaternary) for ever.
Man = God, therefore Hu-Man is the Hu-God, and his servants are the hu-
mans. The German clan names of Huch and the English "Hugh," "Hughes,"
etc., refer to the "Hug-est," the Highest. [21]
Jugend [youth] is easily explained from a combination of Ju and gend, kent,

from the Kun-Rune -- therefore that which "kunnt" = comes directly from
God.
This is closely related to Ith-Jud-Juda, which also means "stemming

from God," Ju-da; likewise, the Goda, the Goth, who is "godly." The
Jews stole this Germanic name, to which they have no right, for it is
purely a German word, the Jude, the Good, the Goth. [22]
"Ach, Herr Je!" is part of the invocation to Ja, not a suppressed outburst,
"Ach, Herr Jesus!" [Oh, Lord Jesus!].
In the "Holdrio" of the yodel is still contained the invocation of the Hol-
trio, the Holy Three, to whom was also consecrated the Hol-under, the
elder-tree, the holy tree.
Some old yodels which have been handed down are given below. To
anyone who might be interested in further examples I recommend the
worthwhile collection by Prof. Dr. J. Pommer: Jodler und Juchzer mit
Notendruck [Yodels and Cheers with Musical Notation].
The circle above the a in the following yodels indicates a deep a-sound,
which stands in the middle between the High German a and o. [23] By
Juchzer, Jauchzer and Juchzer [cheers], we mean calls which come very
Juchzer, Jauchzer and Juchzer [cheers], we mean calls which come very
close to being musical, but which stand somewhere between yodels and
inarticulate cries. When one shouts a yodel or cheer into the mountains and
cliff walls, the short passage of notes rings out, and like the distant sound of
an organ, the threefold tone -- repeated many times in its component parts -
- echoes back in alternating play from near and far. For you, dear readers, I
hope that at least one of the following yodels may become a faithful
companion to you in life. It will ever call forth in you a feeling of
contentment and joy and will help you easily overcome anything which is
difficult in life, and will generate in you a constant bond with the All and a
strong feeling of hope. It will maintain your youthfulness and health well
into the most advanced age. By means of yodling you drink from a
divine, cosmic goblet magical Rune-powers, rich in blessings, so that
your soul celebrates and cheers for happiness.
While singing the yodel I recommend to anyone who is to some extent

familiar with the Runes -- as it may suit the individual -- to take up the
appropriate Runic posture. Also it is good, while singing, to stretch
your arms out to your sides and to dance slowly in waltz-step in a
circle. In any event, the effect will not be lost if you merely sing the yodel.

Runic Hand-Signs
Here I present for the first time the sensing of Runes and the activating of
certain magical Runic power through hand positions and signs. These
powers can not be misused, since they only become manifest to the Runer
who strives toward higher development. The procedure is similar to the
Rune postures, except that here a strong collection of subtle energies in the
hand centers is reached. The person fully familiar with the experience of the
Runes [ii] will, as his body is already well saturated with the energies of the
Runes, reach further understanding and perception in a short time. In the
same way, the beginner is led by consciously directed will, patience and
persistence toward the goal.
Fig. 1
The f, Fa-Rune. The Runer should take up the Is-Rune position (military
attention); then follow this with three cycles of deep breathing exercise,
during which your thoughts are directed toward physical and spiritual
cleansing. This practice should also be observed before performing all the
other Rune signs. Now raise your left arm straight up, and put your left
hand in the position shown in Fig. 1 in the sketches given in the tables
above -- forming the Fa-Rune. With good deep breathing, sing f-f-a-a,
rising from the deepest to the highest tone, let the voice sink to the middle
tone and rise again to the highest; and repeat the singing in this position for
three minutes. Immediately following take a short pause in the Is-posture,
then the whole exercise is repeated twice more. Meanwhile your thoughts
should be focused upon the unfolding primal fire, on the generation of fire,
on fire-generated magical power, on pure Love for the Fa-tor of all Worlds.
By the third repetition the Runer will detect a strong prickling
sensation in the middle of the left hand -- this is the emerging primal
fire. With daily repetition the entire glandular system and bodily centers are
stimulated to such an extent that the collection of energies continuously
increases in the left hand and produces a real burning sensation. Your hand
will begin to appear to turn red, and often it will vibrate with glowing
red rays, during which time it may happen that astral perceptions will
appear, images will be seen, and voices will be heard, etc. These
appearances will be different for individual Runers depending entirely upon
the composition of their blood [24] and their spiritual development.
The Practice of the Ancient Turkish Freemasons: The Key to

the Understanding of Alchemy, by Baron Rudolf von
Sebottendorf
The Preliminary Work
One stands upright, forms the I-sign and

concentrates his whole attention on the uplifted
finger while continuing to think of nothing other
than I, I, I. One will soon notice that the finger
begins to become warm in a most peculiar fashion.
When this warming becomes noticeable one allows
the hand to fall, and after a while the A-sign is
formed. One should attempt to vivify the A in a
similar way until one feels a dry warmth in the
thumb.
Then one immediately forms the 0 and animates it

in the same way. The Oriental, who sequesters
himself in the solitude of his tecke, i.e., of a
Dervish establishment, will feel definite signs of the
kind indicated on the first day, the Occidental, who
will do the exercise no more than about 10 minutes
in the morning or evening, will need a few days
longer.
As soon as the warming takes place, the student

must form the I and animate the finger with Si, Si,
Si until he feels that it is becoming warm. He then
lets his hand drop and immediately forms the A. He
animates the angled hand with Sa, Sa, Sa and after a
while guides his hand to his neck, makes the hand
grip, and thereby conducts the inducted rarified
forces of nature to his neck. During this he
constantly thinks Sa, Sa, Sa, then sharply removes
his hand and forms the 0, which, after he has
animated it with the syllable So, So, So, he moves
to his solar plexus in the Master-grip after a while.
This preliminary works encompasses a time span of

ten days, that is: three days of animation with the
ten days, that is: three days of animation with the

simple vowel sounds and seven days with the
syllable made up of the vowel compounded with S.
By a conscious act of will the Runer should now, while singing from the
highest to the deepest tones, circulate those energies gathered in his hand
throughout his entire body. I shall give no instructions concerning the
magical employment of this sign against other persons, but advise
every Runer to use these signs only for his own development.
For this Rune hand-sign I give the following sound formulas:
fa-fe-fi-fo-fu.
Fig. 2 shows the Ur-Rune hand-sign. Your left arm is bent below the
shoulder height, so that the hand position, Fig. 2, comes to rest about 8
inches in front of your eyes. The Runer sings u-u-u in different pitches and
volumes for three minutes, following which you take a short pause. Each
Rune sign must be repeated three times for three minutes each, since
otherwise no satisfactory collection of energies can be reached in the
hand centers.
Fig. 2
Inner meditation is focused on the intake of primal power, primal

knowledge, increasing magical, magnetic powers.
Here the Runer will detect, above all in the finger-tips and the center of the
hand, a certain cool, lukewarm, or even warm feeling. The perception is
different for every Runer; as in every case of magnetism, one feels a
coolness, another warmth, because every human being is polarized
differently. The one is more electric, the other more magnetic, and as a
result the perception varies as well. [iii] At the end of the exercise, the
Runer should circulate the collected energies by a conscious act of will
throughout the entire body, during which time advanced students can
observe a pale gold-orange or gold-green oscillation of their auras. A
strong charge of electro-magnetic powers can be achieved through this
Rune hand-sign especially.

Sebottendorf
And this alone I reveal: Through such a regime you

will have completed the Purification in 124 days.
Blackness is, however, the recognized sign of
Purification. Furthermore, you will, by means of the
aforesaid regime, have a second sign, which will be
a redness that abides for 30 days and develops
completely in these days. The third sign is,
however, a green that is completed in 70 days by
means of warmth. Between the third and fourth
signs all colors that can be conceived of will
appear. Then the marriage will be consummated --
the union and blending of spirit and soul, for then
the two will rule together, while previously each
ruled for itself under its own sign. Actually in the
first sign the body ruled, in the second the spirit and
in the third the soul. The time of blending will be
completed during a regularly increasing regime of
70 days. Now the fourth sign will appear, which is
the profitable Azymation -- 140 days will go by and
then the sign of whiteness will be seen.
It can be seen that the differences are considerable,

and they are even greater in reality, because it
and they are even greater in reality, because it

depends entirely upon the talent of the individual --
what one accomplishes in a week will take another
a month, or several months. There are disciples
graced by god who have completed the path in three
months.
Ancient Freemasons called the chest-grip the

"cooking." While the neck-grip develops a gentle
warmth, the chest-grip causes the unfolding of a
powerful fire. With this grip the following will be
experienced: After the angled hand is animated by
the formula, the spiritual water is absorbed, a fist is
made and the thumb of the closed hand is placed
upon the left side of the chest. Now the hand is
angled and opened and the chest-grip is done and
drawn off. The colors that show themselves during
this operation develop from a light blue, through
red to green. This red was called by the alchemists
the false red, the false redness in contrast to the
purple color during the closing work. If they saw
the green they would cry: "O benedicta
viriditas."(13)
As melted gold appears to have a green

shimmer, the opinion of people who see the
alchemical process as the art of making gold was
once more led astray by this. The joyous cry had
nothing to do with gold, but rather the Freemason
was happy to have glimpsed the sign that proved to
him that he was on the right-path.
The green color becomes fresher day by day, and

when it has become like the green of a meadow in
spring this part of the work can be broken off and
the rest of the work continued with.
You are now to make the transition to the Middle-

grip with its corresponding formulas. The procedure
is the same as with the chest-grip. The colors which
develop present a true symphony of colors. Blue,
yellow, red are represented in every shade. The

ancients characterized this play of color as a
peacock's tail. By and by the colors fade and by the
end of the work a yellowish white remains.
I recommend the following sound formula:
U-u-r-r.
Fig. 3. The Runer proceeds as with the Fa-Rune, stretches the left arm
upward and takes the hand position of Fig. 3. Sing d-a-a three times, for
three minutes each, during which higher tones are to be held longer. Here,
too, cosmic energies begin to collect in the hand, which is experienced as
prickling in the extended finger-tips, as well as in the ring finger and the tip
of the thumb. Thoughts are focused on the reception of Solar powers. After
ending the exercise the collected energies are to be circulated throughout
the entire body by an act of conscious will. At the deepest tone they are
focused in the feet. The astral color vibration is bright yellow. Also
higher astral laws can be evoked by means of this hand-sign. This depends
entirely on how much cosmic energy the Runer is able to absorb and take
into the body. The deeper the inner concentration is, the stronger the
collection of powers will be. Due to a lack of space I cannot go into further
details here.
Fig. 3
This Rune-sign also has the following sound formulas:
de-di-do-du.
Fig. 4. Here, too, the Runer proceeds as with the previous exercises -- bend
the thumb and forefinger of the extended hand so that the fingertips touch,
as Fig. 4 shows. Sing the o-o-o-formula in the manner already explained.
Soon you will feel a circulating vibration of energies in your hand. Then
proceed as already explained for the previous signs. This is the sign of
Odem, Ode and breath. This has an effect especially rich and in spiritual
blessings for the conscientious Runer. Often after this exercise the smell
of ozone can be detected from the hand. The astral color vibration is
bright violet.
Fig. 4
Fig. 5 shows the Rit-Rune hand-sign. The Runer should observe the
previously stated methods by raising the left arm, assuming the hand
position of Fig. 5, and purring r-r-r in siren fashion (i.e. with rising and
falling tone and volume, as in the previous exercises). Inner thoughts are
focused on higher counsel, on inborn right and cosmic rhythm. This Rune
hand-sign produces a rhythmic warming of the hand and makes possible the
engagement in the cosmic World-rhythm through which the higher centers
are strongly stimulated and magical abilities unfold in the Runer. Also, a
conscious, willed circulation of the power through the entire body should
not to be neglected here. As astral vibrational colors I was able to detect
not to be neglected here. As astral vibrational colors I was able to detect

various colors, e.g. whitish-yellow, pink, fire red, orange.

You are now to make the transition to the Middle-

grip with its corresponding formulas. The procedure
is the same as with the chest-grip. The colors which
develop present a true symphony of colors. Blue,
ancients characterized this play of color as a
peacock's tail. By and by the colors fade and by the
end of the work a yellowish white remains.
Further sound formulas of the Rit-Rune are:
ra-re-ri-ro-ru.
Fig. 6 is the Ka-Rune hand-sign. The aforementioned techniques apply here

as well. The Runer sings k-a-a-a -- inner meditation is on spiritual and
physical balance, on higher ability and spiritual creativity. This hand-sign
earnestly practiced brings about a feeling of becoming physically freer and
earnestly practiced brings about a feeling of becoming physically freer and

lighter. After ending the exercise I could often detect a sulfur-like smell
on the fingertips of my left hand. [25]
Fig. 6

Sebottendorf
As we go further in the work we will become aware

that an increasing warmth is developing in the index
finger. Because of its form, this pointed member
attracts more of the fire element -- which should
also be brought about by means of the vowel i.
Finally the warmth becomes so strong that fire
flames forth from the point of the finger and
creates a sulphurous acridity with the air which
we can clearly perceive when we hold our finger
to our nose. Most old writings remark first of all
on the preparation of the sulfur. Flamel writes about
this: At last I found what I was looking for, which I
recognized at once by its strong smell. When I had
that, I easily perfected my mastery. [i]
This sulfurous smell is the first milestone on the

path. Only he who perceives it can go further. He
path. Only he who perceives it can go further. He

will then have the experience of a current flowing
into the angled hand, a flow that the ancients very
pointedly compared to water. This is the water of
life our folktales are so enthusiastic about, the aqua
vitae of the alchemists. With the sulfurous smell the
dissolution has begun, the putrefactio of alchemy.
The ancient writings, in agreement with oriental
texts, fix a minimal length of 40 days in which a
certain result must be obtained. A few other
Freemasonic texts declare, however, that it would
take 70 or even 90 days to complete the first degree.
The petrefactio, or decay, comes to an end when the

disciple of the art glimpses a blackish shadow, the
raven's head of the alchemists.
The color vibration is white to ivory. Further sound formulas are:
ke-ki-ko-ku.
Fig. 7. Here both hands are employed, as the sketch in Fig. 7 shows. The
arms are stretched well upward. While the h-a-a-a sound is sung, special
attention should be given to good, deep breathing -- in other regards the
previously stated instructions apply. This sign is a very strong conductor,
so that one has the feeling as if an electric current were passing
through the body. With deep concentration (deep-level consciousness),
astral perceptions and higher inner experience enter the mind. This hand-
sign is a strongly whispering Rune-sign. Thoughts are meanwhile focused
on Universal Love, cosmic correspondences, animated by the desire for
highest fulfillment.
Fig. 7
Theozoology, or the Science of the Sodomite Apelings and the

Divine Electron, by Dr. Jorg Lanz von Liebenfels
An animal moving forward in the air is better suited

to be a receiver of electrical waves than a land-
animal is. It is known that the wireless telegraph
uses a vertically stretched antenna of the proper
height.
After ending this exercise you will be able to detect a strong odor of
ozone and sulfur on the index and middle fingers.
Color vibration is glowing indigo blue.
Further sound formulas:
he-hi-ho-hu.
Fig. 8. For this sign the Runer should use the right hand. Otherwise, the
instructions already stated continue to apply. The Runer should hum the n-
n-n sound siren-fashion. Thoughts are focused on higher development and
attainment of perfection. The Not-Rune sign takes effect more spiritually
and through the soul -- it allows your own need to be recognized, helps
and through the soul -- it allows your own need to be recognized, helps
toward changing this need, and diminishes the ordeal involved. You
will often perceive a cool, lukewarm or warm feeling in your hand,
similar to that of the u-Rune. The astral color is dark red.
Fig. 8
Further sound formulas:
na-ne-ni-no-nu.
Fig. 9 gives the Is or I-Rune hand-sign. The Runer should ball his left hand
up, stretch the index finger out and sing from deep to high tone the i-i-i
sound repeatedly. Thoughts are focused on Universal Love and the
development of magical powers of the Self. In this sign you strongly feel
the influx of cosmic energies into the tip of your index finger -- the entire
hand becomes warm. During the circulation through the body, you sense a
warm stirring through the whole Self. After ending the exercise you can
ascertain on the index finger a sulfuric smell (like burned gunpowder).
I noticed that this smell is often different, but always sulfurous in
nature. The astral color is blue to red-violet. This sign can also be
formed with the right hand; it produces then a different body current which
is to be recommended equally.
Fig. 9
Fig. 10 shows the Ar-Rune hand-sign which is performed right-handed and

with the thumb bent downward as far as possible. Here through singing
the a-a-a sound particularly electric energies are accumulated in the
hand, so that the Runer feels a fine tingling and a gentle prickling in
the thumb, the base of the thumb, and the hand center; the
outstretched fingers begin to vibrate lightly. Thoughts or inner
meditations are focused on receiving Ar-Fire and Solar powers. This sign
particularly affects the forces of life, in a rejuvenating and strengthening
manner. Drawing the power into the body produces a strong effect on the
solar plexus. The astral color is silver-grey to bright grey-green.
Fig. 10
Fig. 11 portrays the Sig-Rune hand-sign, which is performed with the left
arm extended (like the Ka- Rune sign, Fig. 6) and the right arm slightly
bent, with the fingers closed and extended. The left thumb touches the tip
of the index finger of the right hand.
Fig. 11
Its sound formulas are:
S-s-i-g
sa-se-si-so-su.
sa-se-si-so-su.
Inner thoughts are focused on victory over one's own mistakes and
weaknesses, on receiving sunny, victorious healing powers and the inherited
memory [26] of magical might and power. By this hand- sign, too, a great
accumulation of cosmic energies is acquired in the hands. The left hand
becomes warm, and the Runer will feel how the current also passes
into the right hand. During the discharge process, the current can be
observed throughout the entire body. Here, too, one may detect an
ozone odor coming from the hands. This sign produces a strong
awareness of power and victory in the practitioner. With sufficient
development of the Runer, higher magical laws will come into force.
The astral color is golden yellow by day, silver grey by night.
Fig. 12. The Tyr-Rune hand-sign is performed right-handed about 8 inches

in front of the body, with a bent arm, so that the tip of the index finger is
located at the height of the navel. The sound formulas are:
T-y-r
ta-te-ti-to-tu.
Fig. 12
Spiritual meditation: "From rebirth to rebirth I have gone; I strive to Thee,

All-Father; over Life and Death, through Sorrow, Stress and Need, Joy and
Contentment I strive in longing back to Thee."
Contentment I strive in longing back to Thee."
After several repetitions of this sign, the Runer will be able to perceive a
pleasant turning or boring feeling in the right hand. A subtle bond develops
with the navel, though which the energies affect the solar plexus, in such a
way that a whispering begins in the Inner Self of the Runer, inherited
memories and often astral perceptions appear.
The astral color is reddish grey by day, grey-blue by night.
Fig. 13. The Bar-Rune sign is produced with the arms raised above the
head, as Fig. 13 shows. Its sound formulas are:
B-a-r
ba-be-bi-bo-bu.
Fig. 13
Inner thoughts are focused on the birth of the Spirit and higher magical
powers. Here the Runer, if inwardly well centered, will observe in the
hands, as well as with the intake of power into the body, a light
fluttering feeling, as if the higher Spirit and higher magical abilities
were being born -- engendered by the energies from this Rune-sign. Often,
after weeks of daily practice, the feeling appears more strongly perceptible.
Persistence leads to the goal.
The astral color is bright blue by day, bright violet by night.
Fig. 14 shows the Laf-Rune hand-sign. The Runer should raise the left arm
upward and assume the hand position shown in Fig. 14. Utilize the
following sound formulas with this sign:
L-a-f
la-le-li-lo-lu.
Fig. 14
Thoughts are focused on Love for the Fa-tor, on enlightenment of the Self.
Here the Runer will observe a mild warming of the left hand. After ending
this exercise I was able, on a number of occasions, to detect an odor
similar to rubber. With this sign one is able to effect a strengthening of
his aura. It is also the sign for initiation into higher Life.
The astral color is bright fire-red by day, ruby-red by night.
Fig. 15. The Man-Rune hand-sign is performed with the right arm stretched
upward, with the hand position as shown in Fig. 15. Its sound formulas are:
m-m-m
M-m-a-n-n
ma-me-nu-mo-mu.
Fig. 15
Thoughts are meanwhile focused on Universal Love, cosmic spiritual

creativity and the awakening of divine magic. This sign is one of the most
effective Rune-signs -- the right hand begins to flame and glow. The
Runer will have a sensation as if fine rays are emanating from three
fingers, and the entire hand is strongly charged electrically. With this
sign the Runer is prepared to banish every danger. It is the sign of the
reborn, conscious magician and of the three-fingered Hand of Light of
our exalted ancestors, which blesses and protects. This sign enables the
Runer to penetrate into the highest secrets of Rune-magic. After performing
this hand-sign, the aroma of burned electrical wires is often perceptible.
Again it should be mentioned, as with all the hand-signs, the exercise
should be concluded with the circulation of power through your entire
body.
The astral color is purple-red by day, phosphorescent greenish-red by

night.
Fig. 16 shows the Eh-Rune hand-sign [27] which is performed with the left
hand, similar to the Ka-Rune sign, except that the thumb is spread
somewhat further outward. Its sound formulas are:
e-e-e
E-h-e.
Fig. 16
Inner thought is focused on pure Love, spiritual, psychic fusion, on freedom

from low-minded drives and passions. This sign produces a pure and noble
life in both thoughts and desires. With this sign a subtle wreath of light
may be observed about the entire hand.
The astral color is yellow by day, yellow-green by night.
Fig. 17. In this sign the hands are folded above the head, except that the
fingers remain stiff, straight and pointed. The sound formulas are:
ga-ge-gi-go-gu.
Fig. 17
Thought is focused on the universal bond among all things, on the

connection to the harmonious vibration throughout the All. This sign is also
well suited to meditations and prayers. Spiritual clarity and a contented
feeling of being safe and of inner peace is attained through this sign
especially; inherited memories and high Aryan knowledge become
apparent to the knowledgeable Runer.
The astral color is golden yellow by day, red-golden by night.
Gibur-Arahari!
To all practitioners Victory-and All-Rune Hail!

On the outer right side the astrological signs are indicated. The arrows
going out from these signs point to the part of the body ruled by each sign.
The dotted oval around the drawing indicates the aura, the psychic
cloak.
Additionally, I will mention that a great part of the development of higher

powers and magical abilities depends on the heart and kidneys (adrenal
glands). The well-known proverb: "To try someone by heart and kidneys"
[Jemand auf Herz und Nieren prufen], meaning "to test someone through
and through" comes from this.
Magical Rune Formulas
Below I give several Rune-formulas passed down from ancient times, but I
advise every Runer who may perhaps utilize them to approach such work
most carefully; everyone is personally responsible for his own actions. The
conscious and noble Runer will never reject laws or utilize powers whose
effect he does not understand and has not sufficiently tested. Let no one
misuse unknown magical formulas on his blood-brothers and sisters -- he
could not escape the avenging might of the Runes. Whosoever carves
Runes, let him carve them in wood; whoever writes them, let him write
them on paper, so they can be burned [28] at any time. Spiritual
meditation is always important for the carving and writing of Runes.
Formula: suf or fus produces tiredness and sleep.
Formula: sof or fos produces forgetfulness and calming.
Formula: Sig-Tyr works positively, brings victory, happiness, strengthens

the life force. This formula should always be used threefold.
Formula: alu or ula effects a defence, banning the enemy.

Formula: Ara-hari gives Solar force and effects protection against all
dark powers.
Formula: flu or ulf produces cosmic Love.
Formula: tuwatuwa works as a ban and protection against black

magical influence, against revenge, hate and envy.
Formula: olu or ulo -- Spiritual power being proclaimed out of the Ur

[origin].
Formula: ul -- wisdom, primal life, primal Love.
Formula: uste produces a feeling of hope, the power of desire.
Formula: ttt brings understanding of Arising, Being, Passing away, Arising

anew.
As a most powerful formula for banishing evil, one utilizes the entire
Futhork, written once left to right and once underneath right to left.
The formula ssgg is the Divine Secret which holds the highest
Jurisdiction. In ancient times this formula was called: "String, Stone,
Grass, Groan" [Strick, Stein, Gras, Grein], and indicated "Jurisdiction,
Secret, Accusation, and Judgment." [29]
These formulas may suffice as inspiration -- further ones can be drawn

easily from the Runic Futhork.
Sensitive Runers looking with astral vision by means of Rune-magic see

with an abstract clarity, but they must primarily clarify that which they see
for themselves. Whether they see in pictures or symbols, or sense or hear
things of the past, present or future by astral means, correct interpretations
will only be available to them once they have reached the higher stage of
Rune-magic.
They should never forget that even the Runes have their demon; and
one caught up in egoistic, lower thoughts and desires runs considerable
danger of falling prey to this demon. Iron will, strict self-discipline,
unshakeable faith in, and Love for, the All-Father, the Spirit of the World,
make them true Seers -- Sons of God.
make them true Seers -- Sons of God.
The path upward to the Peak, to the Light, is difficult, so much purer and
greater the magical might. Dear Blood Brother, guard yourself against the
way into the depths; it is easier, more inviting, but also more devilish,
because it brings you destruction.
Many a man went to Work some years ago with the best of intentions,
but their animalistic, egoistic drives got the upper hand. Today they
work as black magicians, and so they are ending up as destroyers
through the might of the Runes. [30]
Bearing Womb of the highest Good

Continue to sustain us,
Eternal spring of racially pure Blood,
Strengthen us, we Aryan figures. [31]
Arehisosur [32]
All-Fator's symbolic Counsel-Head, or Hari-Fuotan, within the Solar

Circle. It is the head which again witnesses to us of majestic Fuotanism,
Armanism -- the faith of our fathers and forefathers.
Most holy Fuotan, All-Father,

Thou, who art eternally threefold in, around, and above me,
I consecrate my Self, my Life, anew in true Love to Thee;
I consecrate my Self, my Life, anew in true Love to Thee;

free me, cleanse me from everything base and impure,
let Divine Love, Wisdom and Will flow through my Self,
so that I may lessen my Garma; [34]
because my heart, my blood calls out to the Sun, Arahari, to
Thee!
Guard me against evil, dark powers and racial guilt, [35]
give me Love, joy in being, happiness and patience.
Through Thy Divine Triad my heart glows,
over Arising-Being-Passing away I stream sunward.
For Thy mercy eternal thanks;
I have reached understanding through whispering Runes.
I strive heroically nearer to Thee,
therefore forgive even me!
Sig-Tyr, Sig-Tyr, Sig-Tyr!
(S.A.K.)
Evening Consecration
Holy, great, almighty, triune Fuotan! I greet Thee and consecrate my Self to
Thee anew. I thank Thee for Thy protection and Thy goodness; guard me
against everything wicked, low and foreign. May Thy noble, merciful
Father-Spirit forgive me my faults if I have erred; help me to overcome
them and to make amends through noble deeds. Thy shelter and protection
is my weapon against all enemies and dark forces, because Thou art my
threefold Salvation, Sun and Light. I know no terror, no fear and trembling,
because I am immune and invulnerable through Thee. Thou art the Love,
the Truth, the Goodness, the Right. Thou art my longing and my sanctuary.
Fuotan, almighty Father and World-Spirit, I call to Thee; I speak and fight
for Thy Kingdom, so that darkness may vanish from the race and from the
Fatherland.
Should the hour of my transformation be near, be Thou merciful, as to

my forefathers, even to me.
Fuotan, and Weh, I bless Thee, I greet Thee!
(S.A.K.)
All-Fator, Fuotan, I call to Thee!

With magic All-power flood me.
With magic All-power flood me.

Awaken the Runes, the old lore, in me,
in holy Love I strive toward Thee.
With runic force I ban every wicked wight,
because I serve Thy godly might.
-- alu -- tuwatuwa -- Arahari -- Fuotan.
At the consecrated well of Urda the Norn

Silent I sat, I saw and mused.
Then heard I the speech of the High One.
Of the Runes he spoke, of counsel of the gods,
Of carving the Runes, of the whispering the Runes. [36]
Explanation of the Above Picture: The high holy Grove of Light: Runa --
the Divine Secret. Through the Gate which leads into this whispering
grove, one sees the shadowless God-Man, Son of the Sun, highly developed
through overcoming Self, vibrating in a cosmic sea of light and radiation.
Before the Gate are two Germanic marking stones which open only to the
Germanic adept who masters the higher mysteries, and who knows the
secret of gravity. In the foreground stands the struggling Germanic man in
the Not-Rune posture; he has recognized the High Way and is fighting
through to the true Light by overcoming his own Need. He is, however, still
a shadow-man; the most difficult test still lies before him.
Editor's Notes
(1) Heilige Runenmacht remains untranslated. Originally published by the

Uranus Verlag in Hamburg, 1932.
(2) Based on the "Havamal" stanza 165.
(3) This is a magical formula in the heraldic language of Guido von List. Its
meaning is: "All victory for those conscious of the Divine Secret."
(4) See the "Havamal" stanzas 138-165 in the Poetic Edda.

(5) Here the Nietzschean formula ewige Wiederkehr is used.
(6) The significance of the formula of Arising-Being-Passing away to new

arising [Entstehen-Sein- Vergehen-zum neuen Enstehen] is an important one
developed by G. v. List.
(7) From the tale of Frau Holle in the collection by the Brothers Grimm.
(8) Kala is a Sanskrit word borrowed by Guido von List to indicate the
secret of the systematic permutations of esoteric meanings of words.
(9) Here the first person pronoun, ich, "I," is used as a noun -- which is
how Sigmund Freud referred to the Ego in German terminology: das ich,
"the 'I.'" The concept of the "ego" for the Armanen is a more
comprehensive one involving the entire Self.
(10) Here and in the following section Kummer betrays the Neoplatonic
basis for many of his underlying ideas.
(11) The practice of kala involves certain permutations of the meanings of

words which conceal their meanings from the uninitiated. See note 8 above.
(12) This is an obvious reference to the quasi-mystical eugenic dreams

common among contemporary Ariosophists.
(13) Giboraltar identified by Guido von List as the rock of Gibraltar.
(14) The texts of these prayers and Rune banishing are given on pages 34
and 35.
(15) The Tarnkappe plays a part in the German national epic, the
Nibelungenlied, where it is part of the Nibelungen treasure won by the hero
Siegfried by killing the serpent, Fafnir.
(16) Heil und Sieg -- of course, these words were combined into the
National Socialist chant, which they had borrowed from the "mantra" of the
Germanen Orden.
(17) Through this whole discussion of the consonant-vowel combinations

with Ja-, etc., it should be remembered that the German /j/ is pronounced as
with Ja-, etc., it should be remembered that the German /j/ is pronounced as
the English /y/.
(18) Tacitus Germania chapter 10.
(19) Tacitus Germania chapter 3.
(20) These vowels have the sound values in English of ah, eh, ee, oh, oo
respectively.
(21) This is folk-etymologically incorrect: Hugh is derived from the

Germanic word [iv] hug-: 'mind; shining'.
(22) Here Kummer expresses a kind of thinking common in Germany in

1932 -- in the time just before the assumption of power by the Nazis in that
country.
(23) For English speakers this sound is best described as a deeper version
of the /a/ in the word "call."
(24) Here we have another example of the particular occult ideology

common among German rune magicians of the early 20th century. The
Blutsverfassung, composition of the blood, is an obvious reference to the
"purity of the blood" as measured by contemporary racial standards.
(25) See Sebottendorf's Sufi exercises in his book Die geheimen Ubungen
der turkischen Freimauer for reports of similar phenomena.
(26) This "inherited memory" [Erberinnerung] is something which one

inherits from one's ancestors along meta-genetic lines.
(27) Notable for its absence is the Yr-Rune sign. Which apparently
Kummer thought of as being too negative to be practiced.
(28) The runes are deactivated by burning them.
(29) See G. v. List's The Secret of the Runes, pp. 89-90.
(30) This seems to be a reference to the Nazi regime just coming to power
as Kummer wrote this work.
(31) "Aryan figures" is used here as the translation of the original

Ariergestalten. The word Gestalt, meaning basically "shape" or "form" was
used at this time by Ariosophical ideologues to mean "an ideal type."
(32) Arehisosur is a formula made up of the Armanic names of the runic

vowels: Ar-eh-is-os-ur = A-E-I-O-U.
(33) These "Consecrations" were written by Kummer to act as morning and

evening devotional prayers for his Runers to use in their daily meditational
work.
(34) Garma is a special Ariosophical form of the Sanskrit word karma.
(35) Rassenschuld implies the concept of miscegenation.
(36) Based on the stanza 111 in the "Havamal" found in the Poetic Edda.
