History and Runic revivalism

The row of 18 so-called "Armanen runes", also known as the "Armanen futharkh" came to List while in an 11 month state of temporary blindness after a cataract operation on both eyes in 1902. This vision in 1902 allegedly opened what List referred to as his "inner eye", via which he claimed the "Secret of the Runes" was revealed to him. List stated that his Armanen Futharkh were encrypted in the Rúnatal of the Poetic Edda (stanzas 138 to 165 of the Hávamál), with stanzas 147 through 165, where Odin enumerates eighteen wisdoms (with 164 being an interpolation), interpreted as being the "song of the 18 runes". List and many of his followers believed his runes to represent the "primal runes" upon which all historical rune rows were based. Needless to say, this claim being based on a visionary's account exclusively, it is given no credence whatsoever in scholarly circles. The references in this article would be clearer with a different and/or consistent style of citation, footnoting or external linking. ... Look up Poetic Edda in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ... Hávamál (Sayings of Hár, Sayings of the high one) is one of the poems of the Poetic Edda. ...


List's row is based on the Younger Futhark, with the names and sound values mostly close to the Anglo-Saxon Futhork. The two final runes, Eh and Gibor, added to the Younger Futhark inventory, are taken from Anglo-Saxon Eoh and Gyfu. Apart from the two additional runes, and a displacement of the Man rune from 13th to 15th place, the sequence is identical to that of the Younger Futhark. Old English (also called Anglo-Penis[1], Englisc by its speakers) is an early form of the English language that was spoken in parts of what is now England and southern Scotland between the mid-fifth century and the mid-twelfth century. ...

List noted in his book, The Secret of the Runes, that the "runic futharkh (= runic ABC) consisted of sixteen symbols in ancient times.".[2]


List of runes

The first sixteen of von List's runes correspond to the sixteen Younger Futhark runes, with slight modifications in names (and partly mirrored shapes). The two additional runes are loosely inspired by the Anglo-Saxon Futhorc. Technical note: Due to technical limitations, some web browsers may not display some special characters in this article. ...

Contemporary use

The Armanen runes are still used today in occultist and national socialist currents of Germanic neopaganism. After World War Two, Karl Spiesberger[3]reformed the system, removing the racist and folkish ("racial folk-soul") aspects of the Listian, Marbyan and Kummerian rune work and placing the whole system in a "pansophical", or eclectic, context.[4] In recent times Karl Hans Welz,[5] [6] Stephen E. Flowers, Adolf Schleipfer, Larry E. Camp[7] and Victor Ordell L. Kasen[8] have all furthered the effort to remove any and all racial connotations previously espoused by pre war Armanen rune masters The Nazi party used a right-facing swastika as their symbol and the red and black colors were said to represent Blut und Boden (blood and soil). ...

"The personal force of List and that of his extensive and influential Armanen Orden was able to shape the runic theories of German magicians...from that time to the present day. [...] the Armanen system of runes...by 1955 had become almost 'traditional' in German [rune-magical] circles"[9]

The Armanen runes are also having a significant impact in English language occultist literature.[10]
