MARK MIRABELLO - Odin Brotherhood

The Odin Brotherhood 45
passwords that unleash the power of matter, energy, and
thought.
AUTHOR: Can you elaborate?
THE ODIN BROTHERHOOD: I can say no more. There are
certain secrets that must not be revealed.
AUTHOR: You can add nothing else?
THE ODIN BROTHERHOOD: Only this: if you knew the
secret of the runes, the knowledge would surprise and terrify.
AUTHOR: Returning to Odin, what agonies did the god suffer
to discover the “occult potencies” that are called runes?
THE ODIN BROTHERHOOD: The legends are rather vague
here, but listen to the words of Odin from the Eddaic Verses,
the ancient words of power:
I know that I hung
On the windswept tree
For nine nights long,
Wounded by a spear
And consecrated to Odin
Myself to myself,
On the mighty tree
Of which no man knows
From what root it springs.
No one refreshed me
With drink or bread;
I looked downward
And took up the runes,
Shrieking I took them,
