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.“
The Musica Universalis (Harmony of the Spheres) - Ratios of Orbital Distance and Orbital Periods. Musica Universalis (Music of the Spheres) is an Ancient Philosophical concept that regards Proportions in the movements of Celestial bodies of the Sun and Planets as a Form of Musica (the Medieval Latin name for Music). This “Music” is not literally Audible, but a Harmonic and Mathematical relationship between our Star and it’s Satellites. This design is inspired by theory and writings taken from Johannes Kepler’s “Mysterium Cosmographicum” (The Secret of the Universe) where he explored the relationships of Harmonies in our Solar System and sought to uncover the “Music” therein. In this graphic, the Circles represent Orbital Resonance, which occurs when two Planets have an Orbit that are a simple Integer Ratio of each other. For example, consider the Orbits of Earth and Venus (8 : 13), which means the two Planets arrive at almost the same position after 8 Earth Orbits and 13 Venus Orbits. The underlying Circles represent relationships of Orbital Distance as calculated from each Planets semi-minor Axis - which is the shortest length in a Planets elliptical Orbit around the Sun. What is most striking, is that the mirrored structure that arises in the semi-minor Axis between: - the first and last for Planets (both 4:1) - the last and first Planets (both 25 : 1) - and the fourth Planets as counted in from the 1st and last (25 : 4) - Mars from Mercury, and Saturn from Pluto In this view of the semi-minor and Orbital Resonaces overlaid, the whole Solar System takes on the appearance of a carefully Mathematically Balanced ballet of Harmonic Relationships and shared Proportions. In some instances the Ratios and Relationships depicted here are reputed to be very accurate (in terms of Cosmological distances which are vast) coming close to 99.8%.
IO represents the underlying reality—the boundless immutable principle….The principle contains a duality—the I and the O—Absolute Self and Absolute Space. Neither is dominant for neither exists without the other.
Cosmic ideation is the product of the coming together of this primary duality to produce consciousness or the world soul—the sense of ‘self in manifestation’. For the Self to be conscious it needs a sheath to become self-aware in.
