“On the Dark Side of the Runes: Uthark, Adulruna and Gothic Kabbalah” serves as an introduction to runosophy, the wisdom of the runes, and practical runic magic. Runes are dynamic symbols that express hidden forces. Their external forms have changed throughout history, but the principles they represent remain almost the same as in ancient Scandinavian times. This book does not claim to be a historical account of runes or runic magic. Instead, it offers an introduction to runic magic based on practical work with runes in the modern world. However, the author seeks to ensure that the runosophy presented in this book is deeply rooted in historical Scandinavian magic.
By revealing the “dark side” of Scandinavian rune stones, hidden beneath their traditional interpretation, Swedish scholar and runologist Thomas Karlsson explores the works of the Swedish mystic and runologist Johannes Bureus (1568–1652) and Professor Sigurd Agrell (1881–1937), who devoted their lives to uncovering secret ways of using runes known only to higher initiates.
The book reveals the occult wisdom and multidimensional layers of meaning hidden in Scandinavian rune stones. Karlsson examines the practice of the Uthark divinatory system encoded within the traditional exoteric reading system of the Futhark runes. He traces connections between the runic tradition and numerology, Kabbalah, alchemy, gothic traditions, and sigil magic.
The author explains the multidimensional meanings of each rune from the perspective of the Uthark, their connection to the nine worlds of Norse cosmology, as well as the magical power of rune rows and the three rune groups (aettir). He describes in detail how to create magically charged runes, direct and activate runic power, and use them for runic meditation, divination, sigil magic, galdra (songs of power), and runic yoga. Karlsson also explores the secret dimensions of the 15 “noble” runes, the Adulruna, based on the theories of Johannes Bureus. He explains Bureus’ spiritual system of initiation, the Gothic Kabbalah, revealing the link between ancient Scandinavian wisdom and Kabbalah.
Beyond runic practices, Karlsson examines the dark or nocturnal side of the runes, offering a comprehensive guide to Norse spirituality and the ancient mystical tradition of Odin.
