<strong>Rune</strong>-<strong>Magic</strong>, <strong>by</strong> <strong>Siegried</strong> <strong>Adolf</strong> <strong>Kummer</strong>7/7/11 12:15 AMconsecrated. In crossing the Apennines he wasattacked <strong>by</strong> brigands. They robbed him, but hemade no pursuit. And so, encouraged <strong>by</strong> exampleand <strong>by</strong> the impunity of lesser thieves, the greaterones soon took part in the robberies. Amurathseized part of Hungary, Mathias Corvinus tookLower Austria, and Frederic consoled himself forthese usurpations <strong>by</strong> repeating the maxim,Forgetfulness is the best cure for the losses wesuffer. At the time we have now reached, he hadjust, after a reign of fifty-three years, affiancedhis son Maximilian to Marie of Burgundy andhad put under the ban of the Empire his son-inlaw,Albert of Bavaria, who laid claim to theownership of the Tyrol. He was therefore too fullof his family affairs to be troubled about Italy.Besides, he was busy looking for a motto for thehouse of Austria, an occupation of the highestimportance for a man of the character of FredericIII. This motto, which Charles V was destinedalmost to render true, was at last discovered, tothe great joy of the old emperor, who, judgingthat he had nothing more to do on earth after hehad given this last proof of sagacity, died on the19th of August, 1493, leaving the empire to hisson Maximilian.This motto was simply founded on the fivevowels, a, e, i, o, u, the initial letters of these fivewordsThis means"AUSTRIAE EST IMPERAREORBI UNIVERSO.""It is the destiny of Austria to rule over thewhole world."So much for Germany.The Convivio, <strong>by</strong> Dante Alighierihttp://www.american-buddha.com/cult.runemagic.kummer.htmPage 24 of 64
