Chant of the 18 sacred Furthork Runes
"The word "rune" means whisper, mystery, and secret wisdom, or "that which is communicated orally." Runes have a purely magikal origin, and like the mystical Hebrew alphabet, they are believed to form the web of life upon which Creation is woven. The runes are based on knowledge of the pulsating rhythms of life, of Nature, its seasons and cycles, and the planetary movements. They are glyphs of Cosmic Forces which were divinely revealed to humankind, and they operate on all levels and dimensions, providing an oracle of spiritual progress, protection, divination, and guidance for all life's situations and events. Runes are perhaps one of the more obscure occult alphabets, but they benefit from their relatively recent rediscovery by being one of the purer languages of wisdom and divination. Despite their unusual appearance, the runes are structured around a model that lends easily to correspondence with nearly every other major occult system in the world. This makes the runes not only a valuable system for the Heathen initiate, but also provides a fascinating study for other occultists, who can find a wonderful cataloging system in the runic alphabet with a unique power all its own."
