Summary
The runes are said to have “revealed themselves” to von List, uncovering a complete cosmology and esoteric understanding of the primeval Teutonic/Aryan peoples, and becoming the cornerstone of his ideology. No other work so clearly and simply sets forth the full spectrum of von List’s fantastic vision of a mystical philosophy based on Germanic principles.

What They're Saying
Critics Review
… serves as one of the major text on the meaning of the runes and their place in Teutonic cultures.
… serves as one of the major text on the meaning of the runes and their place in Teutonic cultures. * New Dawn, May/June 2003 *“If runes interest you at all, The Secret of the Runes is a historical and sociological document of great import. If you are a student of occult beliefs, you will recognize many of the newfangled new-age concepts we take for granted as vintage Armanen, perhaps very much to your dismay. Either way, this is an important book whose mysteries never fail to provoke thoughts and challenge beliefs.” * Thor the Barbarian, Nemeton, Jan 2006 *
