Secret of the RunesRenowned as an expert in Indo European Germanic linguistics and mythology, Guido von List was the undisputed high priest of the Germanic occult renaissance of the early twentieth century. Here, for the first time in English translation, is his original 1908 work on the ancient Germanic Runic alphabet. List's long term interest in occultism came to full expression following an eye operation in 1902 that left him virtually blind for several months.
