Rune-Magic, by Siegried Adolf Kummer 7/7/11 12:15 AM Gods & Beasts -- The Nazis & the Occult, by Dusty Sklar The Story of the Volsungs, by Anonymous, translated by William Morris and Eirikr Magnusson Back Cover 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 isto-be. --Edred Thorsson Yrmin-Drighten The Rune-Gild Editor's Introduction http://www.american-buddha.com/cult.runemagic.kummer.htm Page 2 of 64
Rune-Magic, by Siegried Adolf Kummer 7/7/11 12:15 AM 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. http://www.american-buddha.com/cult.runemagic.kummer.htm Page 3 of 64
