About this title

Synopsis

In the early 20th Century, the Runes were hijacked by racial extremists-the Nazis-who changed their meanings to justify a radical doctrine of hate. The Runes are still used today as symbols of hate by white power prison gangs, Neo-Nazis, and racial extremists. However, the Runes are also used by peaceful adherents of Heathenry & Norse Paganism, often leading to some confusion in discerning their intended use.

Norse/Germanic Runes & Symbols: Field Reference Guide for Law Enforcement & Corrections, provides the criminal justice professional a different perspective on the Norse & Germanic Runes, discussing how they evolved, when the Runes first emerged, and how they are currently used. Before the 20th Century, the Runes were known throughout Europe, respected in earlier days, then ignored by many in later times as they fell out of use.

Discover the evolution of the Runes, starting with the Elder Futhark and the Younger Futhark Runes of the Viking Age. Follow the progression of Runic development through the Anglo-Saxon Futhorc and the later Medieval, Marcomannic, and Dalecarlian Runes and their subsets. Explore the Armanen Runes of the 20th Century German Rune Revival, as well as the Modern-Day use of the Runes by Heathens, Neo-Pagans, Ásatrú practitioners & Odinists. We’ll also examine the use of Runes & Runic symbology of the Nazi-era, up through modern-day Rune use by extremists.

Emphasis is placed on how to learn which Runes are being used and how to discern the content and intent of their message. Methods of transliterating the Runes are discussed, as are Runic Ciphers. Also covered is the current trend of Norse/Germanic Pagan beliefs and symbols being combined with Satanic symbology & beliefs.
