Can Runes be Dangerous?

'Can runes be dangerous'?


I sure hope so!


There is nothing 'safe' about the Runes - why else did the Church outlaw them?




Runes are the tools of Noble Aryan Paganism.
The dangerous term 'Aryan' is full-blooded and 'beyond good & evil', and so captures the atmosphere I want. It is also used without excuse by my favourite philosopher, Nietzsche, and by my favourite runologist, Guido von List.

As Nietzsche said; 'Live dangerously! - build your cities on Vesuvius!'

The Germanic Folk invented the runic Futhark.
That's what the runes are -
the script of the Germanic Folk.
The Futhark word order is *unique*
Many have tried to destroy them, from the hordes in the East in the
past, to todays anti-racist fanatics of the West.
But the Folk survives, as do the runes.

This story never ends, it is an Eternal Return.

Danger is a Calling.


Svartrunir - ON: ("Black Runes") Necromantic characters; runes used to communicate with departed spirits.


Troll Rune - 1)The troll-rune is Thurisaz, and its use was thought to evoke demons from the nether-world. The cutting of three Thurisaz staves perverts or inverts the meanings of those runes which follow it.
2) Troll runes are runes that can be used for divination. This name comes from an old belief that prophecy comes from Trolls, who have knowledge of the future.

Beowulf. II
There came unhidden tidings
TRUE to the tribes of men, in sorrowful songs,
how ceaselessly Grendel harassed Hrothgar,
what *HATE HE BORE* him,
what murder and massacre, many a year,
feud unfading,'refused consent
to deal with any of Daneland's EARLS,
make pact of peace, or compound for gold:
still less did the wise men ween to get
great fee for the feud from his fiendish hands.
But the evil one ambushed old and young,
death-shadow dark, and dogged them still,
lured, or lurked in the livelong night
of misty moorlands: *men may say not*
*where the haunts of these Hell-RUNES be* .
Such heaping of horrors the hater of men,
lonely roamer, wrought unceasing,
harassings heavy. o'er Heorot he lorded,
gold-bright hall, in gloomy nights;
*and ne'er could the prince approach his throne*
'twas judgment of God,?or have JOY in his hall.
.
. Beowulf. VIII
.
UNFERTH spake, the son of Ecglaf,
who sat at the feet of the Scyldings' lord,
unbound the *battle-RUNES* . 'Beowulf's quest,
sturdy seafarer's, sorely galled him;
ever he envied that other men
should more achieve in middle-earth
of fame under heaven than he himself.'
'Art thou that Beowulf, Breca's rival,
who emulous swam on the open sea,
when for pride the pair of you proved the floods,
and wantonly dared in waters deep
to risk your lives?
