Anyone who wants to use Runes in their magick, check this book out. The application for Runic power in magick is limitless. The book contains all their meanings, their hand symbols/gestures, what they have power over, as well as a college style curriculum to learn Runes. A must have, since I believe the Runes are from an Outer power designed to awaken our INNER power. Which is the point of the Cult!

Runes magick is beautiful... I think that runes is a kind of Sigil. He awakes our own power ( for really, ALL the magicks do it) to change the "reality" and Our World. This book looks really good, I saw it in Amazon...but it was never done in portuguese or sold in Brazil sad...

I can see that the author has written quite a few books on the subject of runes. I must look into the works some time.

The Nine Doors curriculum is an essential to any LHP Magician seeking Runic Might and there is definitely an Outer current flowing through the Runes. I mySelf happen to be on the Third Door of this curriculum currently. The Runes are great Unnatural tools that one may use to alter many things and Edred outlines their vast potential with clarity and ease. To go with the Nine Doors, I'd recommend Runelore, Blue Runa, and the The Mysteries of the Goths all by the same author. Here is an article of interest by the same author originally published in Blue Runa regarding the Runes, the LHP, and "Gothic" Literature. www.trapezoid.org/thought/secret.html

Great article. I dont like that the author writes as if he had all the answers to everything because i do not believe that he does. But i do like the truths which i can recognize in the article.
(this isnt meant as a rant against magic books, i am just thinking out loud) To be fully honest i am not crazy about all these runic books and articles. I mean, i can still accept them and enjoy them. Even when they are pure fantasy and have nothing to do with factual history.(which can be said about SOME of the books published on the subject) I like them in theory but in practical terms i am not crazy about ANY book on ANY sort of magic. As the author also touches on in this good article, i believe that it is in the blood. It springs from within. To learn it from a book seems....unholy to me. Another thing that bothers me is that they always seem to take something basic and then shine it up until it is ready for american/mainstream consumption. I am still enjoying the books (when i come across them) but a part of me believes that such books should never be made, and NEVER EVER. EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER must they be sold for profit. But that is just me, i have some strange standards on that which i dont expect the world to follow. I just cant help but to think it. Maybe i am horribly foolish.
But it IS in the blood, there is no question AT ALL in my mind.
I can feel it every second.
It is instincts.
EDIT:
Btw, cool know one knows were the word goth comes from. ;D

Madguten is like a Cabalist. But, anyway, if the books are in the market now we don't need to say "I won't buy it because I don't like tha way that the author treat The Secrets in the book"...it's like some popular words around here: "Não adianta chorar pelo leite derramado" (no use crying for spilled milk) So, I drink the milk from the ground! ;D Maaaadnneeesss

Well, at the end of NINE DOORS OF MIDGARD when Im done with the book, it DOES say to pass it to somebody else so they can learn. It does say it is hareditary.. it is in the blood of all germanic peoples. It is the ancesteral religion of my German ancestors, of Madguten's ancestors, etc. MOST Europeans somewhere down the line have met the Germanic/Viking people, and eventually crossbred. Hell, they say Vikings were the first Europeans to America. They even found some around asia.. the Russians are the result of the Mixing of Vikings and the native people. It also tells the origion of the word Warlock, Vardlokkur (Wardlokkur? W's are V's in alot of Germanic languages.) Which means warden (guardian spirit? The Watcher?) or spirit caller. So dont let the Wiccan's or popular media tell you Warlock is OATHBREAKER.. remember that it is called that because they broke their oath with the christian god in their eyes, and only for that reason. Even the name Wicca, which is said to mean path of the wise, is a false translation!

Yes you are both right, our genes today are very mixed, who knows what blood flows in our veins. I cannot trace my familytree back very far, just a couple of generations, i have NO idea where my genes are from, but i have been told i look germanic.
Reading my previous post come off kinda wrong, my statement is just a thought, i buy magic book myself and enjoy them, i love books. And i can hardly blame any author for taking profit from his work. And when i say that i believe it must spring from within i am not talking about races or where we are from.
I should stress that i know NOTHING
And i DO think i am focusing too much on the whole "it must spring from within" thing, the concept has been heavily on my mind for a long while, i must be observant so that i do not rule out good things, blinded by my theories and thoughts. ;D

I actually plan on ordering Futhark soon... I have been wanting to create my own set of runes for quite a while now. I just can't decide on the material to be used. I am going to mix some of my semen into the material I use. Semen is life and my runes are going to be lively and powerful. ;D

Yes! And NINE DOORS mentions Reddening the Runes, using red for the actual rune color, which was probaly traditionally blood, which would produce the SAME effect as semen of course, just that semen is more fun to harvest!

Well, the France is where the Gauls came from, which inhabited Ireland and Scotland latter. Celtic and Norse artwork looks ALOT alike, so I DO believe the two met at one point. Hehe your blood sounds like a typical american, even if it is south american in this case, we are ALL americans! I am German (mother and father side), French, Irish (M and F side), Native American (one type from each side), Polish, Italian, and I THINK thats it! I have French and Spanish Blood...a Little African too hahaha French had some influence of Germanic People...SOME. Vikings have influence all over the world, that's a fact. Anyway, Wiccans sux.

Italian, Spanish, French, Normand, African and Portuguese=My Fucking Strange Blood HAHAHAHA But... In Celtic magick, the druids use a kind of "runes" in their spells. I read that says that they called those runes "Language of The Threes" or something like that.
