Jules Guérin, {2022} A Shaman's Tale

This Icelandic manuscript of magic, known as the “Huld” manuscript, presumably derives its name from the word “hulda” meaning secrecy, and was compiled from three older sources by Geir Vigfússon in 1860. These ten selected pages from the manuscript feature “stafir,” or what we might call sigils today.

For the description and purpose of each sigil, click “keep reading.”

Nuanced differences between Nihilism, absurdism and Existentialism

Guido von List, Armanen Runes, 1902

“The Armanen runes, or Armanen ‘Futharkh’ as Guido von List referred to them, are a row of 18 runes that are closely based in shape (though not necessarily name, let alone interpretation) on the Younger Futhark. They were "revealed to” the Austrian occult mysticist and Germanic revivalist Guido von List in 1902, and subsequently published by him.“
