The Moot With No Name  - a talk by Vincent Ongkowidjojo -   - author of Secrets of Asgard -  FUTHARK : The Celtic link  One of the most enigmatic aspects of the Ancient Germanic rune alphabet is its very origin. Where did it come from? Who designed it? Why was it designed in the first place? But the invention of the Futhark does not stand isolated in Europe. Cannot the early history of the Ogham alphabet help answer some of these intruiging questions? The early history of both alphabets is discussed as well as parallels drawn and cross-influences marked.  at the Devereux Arms on Wednesday 6 June 2012 8pm £5  for more information: http://www.theatlantisbookshopevents.com/page2.htm or on facebook (The Moot With No Name)

 Eind juli verscheen het boek  Secrets of Asgard: an instruction in esoteric rune wisdom  (Mandrake
of Oxford, 2011) van de hand van Vincent Ongkowidjojo, een jonge dertiger woonachtig
en werkzaam in Leuven. 

   

 Het boek vertelt het verhaal over de Runen, maar is
geheel esoterisch geöriënteerd. De symboliek van het Oudgermaanse runenalfabet
wordt besproken, alsook de oude mythen van het Hoge Noorden. Het boek leidt je
in in de mysterietradities van de Oude Germanen, de diepte-psychologische
betekenis van de runentekens en van de verschillende Noorse goden. Ondanks een
eerste theoretisch, bijna academisch, deel van het boek bevat het tweede deel
aanwijzingen rond het maken van runen, amuletten, toverspreuken, en het
orakelen met runen. 

   

 De auteur studeerde assyriologie aan de KULeuven,
maar koos nadien voor de rijke cultuur van het Oude Scandinavië, de Vikingen en
de Oude Germanen. Hij is een leerling van Freya Aswynn en schreef eerder het
boekje  Runen in de Noordse traditie 
(Ankh-Hermes, 2007). Zijn sterke punt is dat hij Oosterse en Westerse filosofie
met elkaar verzoent. Hij praktiseert taichi. 

   

 Op donderdag 15 september stelt Vincent het boek
voor. De voorstelling gaat door om 20u in Boekhandel Johannes, Alfons
Smetsplein 10, in Leuven.

The full title is given as  Secrets of Asgard : an instruction in esoteric rune wisdom  indicating that it can be read at at least two levels, a beginner's level and an advanced level. The contents of this work go beyond what is usually found in books about runes. It is created to be practical, albeit sometimes in a somewhat suggestive way.  The text contains numerous innovative pieces of information. A whole chapter is dedicated to the symbolism of the Aettir. A whole section is dedicated to an interpretation of the twenty-four items on which runes are inscribed cited from the Sigrdrifumal poem. And a in-depth interpretation is given on the enigmatic Havamal 144 stanza.  It is a must have for all who earnestly take up the study of the runes, especially rune magic. And to the novice it offers a well founded introduction with lots of factual historical information alongside modern interpretations.  Enjoy!  9781906958312

 HAVAMAL 144 
 This famous Havamal stanza describes how to create runes, but there is more to it than that. The eight verbs used are actual techniques leading us behind the obvious reality of rune staves. 
 The workshop starts at 10am and ends at 4pm 
 In the morning the thesis is presented, whereas in the afternoon a practical session will follow guided by the people of Het Rad

  The Nine Worlds in Northern Myth and Magic  
 To Jung, every person creates an imaginary world in his dreams in which archetypal symbols play out the life of his psyche. To the occult thinker, myths are in the same way the accurate translation of experiences beyond ordinary reality within a specific group mind. Through this imagery of myth it is possible to enter the dimensions not only of our own psyche but also of the existent gods. Exploring the Norse myths reveals the contents and principles of the Viking magical mind. Easily a landscape is constructed mapping out the spatial arrangement and mutual relationship of the Nine Worlds. As a symbolic representation such a landscape becomes a practical instrument in psycho-analysis, divination, astral travel and mental travel.
