The Meaning of the Armanen Runes
“It disintegrates into three "sexes" (aett) to 6 runes each into the father row, the son row and the spirit row.” - Rudolf John Gorsleben: Die Hoch-Zeit der Menschheit (The Zenith of Humanity) - 1930
“The 18-Zahl of the rune row is several times justified, 18 = 2 × 9, the holy nine-number of the completion. the Indian Bagavat Gida contains 18 singing. humans make 18 breaths in the minute. The string lengths of two chromatic half-tones with same string thickness differ from each other around the eight-tenth length. Eighteen verses for the eighteen holy runes” - Rudolf John Gorsleben: Die Hoch-Zeit der Menschheit (The Zenith of Humanity) – 1930
Know'st thou how one shalt carve and cut them,
Know'st thou how one shalt rede, expound and attest them.
Know'st thou how one shalt stain and mark them,
Know'st thou how one shalt understand, seize and trial them.
Know'st thou how one shalt evoke and ask them,
Know'st thou how one shalt sacrifice, offer and use them.
Know'st thou how one shalt send and convey them,
Know'st thou how one shalt slaughter, consume and grasp them.
