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/or the value they have. For no one knows what wisdom might rise from these roots in the is-to-be.

Editor's Introduction
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 Bern-hard 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-Magie
was first published in 1933 as a part of the
Germanische Scfiriftenfolge
[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.
2) All things in the cosmos are subject to a threefold cyclical process of Arising-Being-Passing away to new
 Arising: Birth-Life-Death/Rebirth. This is the key to the evolution of the individual and of the ethnic unit.
3) Ancient Armanic cultural features were not wiped out by the coming of Christianity—but found refuge in the
symbolism used by the church itself and in folk customs. Today these await decoding that they may once again live in
their rightful place.
These tenets are further explained in S. E. Flowers' introduction to Guido von List's
The Secret of the Runes.
Examples of all of them can be found in the pages of Kummer's
Rune-Magic.
The idea of "Ariosophy" as such also involves the Theosophical notion of there being an evolutionary process at
the leading edge of which the "Aryan" stands. Ariosophy also includes the specific idea that there was a time period in
which "god-men" and "beast-men" existed as separate species, but that at a certain time in the distant past they began
to interbreed—resulting in the present form of homo sapiens. Ariosophy preaches the necessity of "breeding out" the
"beast-man" characteristics to return to the former divine state of the "god-man."
There are several statements made, or sentiments expressed, by S. A. Kummer in the text of
Rune-Magic
which
might be found to be "offensive" by the politically correct, and some that are factually erroneous. Rather than
censoring Kummer, or arbitrarily editing him, we have translated his work as it stood in 1933. This is in keeping with
the general editorial philosophy of the publisher not to "sanitize" controversial works. It is felt that the documents will
have more historical, as well as intellectual, value if they are allowed to speak for themselves. Notes have been added
to the text where warranted.
When translating any of the Ariosophical literature there are always problems regarding word-plays the original
writers use, which may be impossible to represent in English terms. Where possible cognate translations are used
which preserve the sound correspondences or word-play. But sometimes other solutions' must be found. Words
appearing in square brackets [ ] are information not belonging to the translation proper but which has been included by
the editor. This is often an original German word, the form of which may be helpful to the understanding of the
magical or poetic logic of the text. Or bracketed words may be etymological translations of certain "magical words" or
names in the original German text. These measures have been found to be necessary in the translation simply because
so much of the linguistic magic of the
Armanen
is dependent on similar sounding words or folk-etymological word-
plays.

Author's Introduction
Rune-magic is the great knowledge of cosmic energies, the recognition of hidden energies of nature, of the subtle
heavenly, as well as earthly streams, waves, entities, and powers. All forms of higher wisdom, all secret knowledge of
the world, are but fragments, and through the course of time have been for the most part distorted and corrupted; but at
one time it had its origin in the divine, Aryan magic of the Runes. All languages of the world are derived from the
Aryo- Germanic mother-tongue, which is both magical and alive. The Germanic Runic script is the script of all scripts.
Runes are not just letters or verbal symbols but primal symbols of a living magical nature which whisper to us. These
may be experienced physically through Runic postures and dances and are useful for your own well-being and even for
the blessing of all mankind. Whoever physically forms and experiences the Runes in a pure and conscious manner, will
have great secrets opened to him, if he practices, vibrates, and dances in the radio waves, subtle currents and flowing
energies of the All. Accompanying ideal higher development, clairvoyance, astral perceptions, heightened psychic
ability and prophetic vision will arise in the Runer, in the practitioner.
In the small manuscript before you I can give only a few gems from the great treasure trove of Aryan wisdom and
Rune-magic, but these will be of great use to the reader and will lead him into the Way of the Grail. To anyone who
has greater interest in Runic history, magic and mysteries I recommend my work,
Heilige Runenmachl.

The following exercises and instructions may be undertaken only with noble and pure thoughts—the blessings of
the Runes will not fail.
Hail him who learns it!
Hail him who teaches it!
Therefore take advantage of
The blessing, ye who hear it!

 The 18 - Rune Row
Other than the oldest Runic Futhork (alphabet), which has 18 runes and corresponds to the "Rune Poem" of the

Primarily the oldest, the 18-Rune, Futhork comes into consideration, for penetrating into higher Rune-wisdom,
into the Runic mysteries, with the initiations they provide. The cosmic and magical legitimacy of this Futhork cannot
be supplanted by any other Rune-row.

Editors Notes
[1]
Heilige Runenmacht
remains untranslated. Originally published by the Uranus Verlag in Hamburg, 1932.
[2] Based on the "Havamal" stanza 165.
[3] This is a magical formula in the heraldic language of Guido von List. Its meaning is: "All victory for those
conscious of the Divine Secret."
[4] See the "Havamal" stanzas 138-165 in the
Poetic Edda.
[5] Here the Nietzschean formula
ewige Wiederkehr
is used.
[6] The significance of the formula of Arising-Being-Passing away to new arising
[Entstehen-Sein-Vergehen-zum
neuen Entstehen]
is an important one developed by G. v. List.
[7] From the tale of
Frau Holle
in the collection by the Brothers Grimm.
[8]
Kala
is a Sanskrit word borrowed by Guido von List to indicate the secret of the systematic permutations of
esoteric meanings of words.
[9] Here the first person pronoun,
ich,
"I," is used as a noun— which is how Sigmund Freud referred to the Ego in
German terminology:
das Ich,
"the 'I.'" The concept of the "ego" for the Armanen is a more comprehensive one
involving the entire Self.
[10] Here and in the following section Kummer betrays the Neoplatonic basis for many of his underlying ideas.
[11] The practice of
kala
involves certain permutations of the meanings of words which conceal their meanings
from the uninitiated. See note 8 above.
[12] Tills is an obvious reference to the quasi-mystical eugenic dreams common among contemporary
Ariosophists.
[13]
Giboraltar
identified by Guido von List as the rock of Gibraltar.
