KUMMER'S RUNE AND FINGER MAGIC: BOOK 3 IN THE FRANZ BARDON SERIES

This book is based on the writings of Siegfried Kummer. For the students of Franz Bardon, the publication of this translation will be of great importance and I will explain why.Bardon also maintained his circle of disciples in Prague and one of his students was Ernst Quintscher, the son of Wilhelm Quintscher.It is known that for this circle, Bardon wrote a manual on magical development which was called “The Textbook of High Magic”. This book was a translation and compilation of elements from Georg Lomer’s Seven Hermetic Letters, Crowley’s Liber ABA/Book 4 (Parts I & II on Mysticism and Elementary Magic Theory respectively) and Siegfried Adolf Kummer’s work on Rune Magic. These three books were the basis a system of initiation that Bardon used in his inner circle, which Bardon considered to be too advanced for the public to work through. Unfortunately, there are no complete copy of this document known to exist today.It is known that Bardon had visited Kummer personally in Dresden and that the inner system of Bardon included chapters with Rune Magic and more specifically Runic hand-signs. it is said that the Runes are the keys that give you access to your inner creative powers.Bardon writes the following about hand magic:"There are magicians who are performing rituals unnoticed in the middle of a big crowd by movements of their fingers in the pockets of their coats."Kummer wrote the following about Rune-magic:"It is the great knowledge of cosmic energies, the recognition of hidden energies of nature, of the subtle heavenly, as well as earthly streams, waves, entities, and powers."This book provides valuable information about both the practice and theory of Rune magic.
