The Armanen runes (or ''Armanen Futharkh'') are a series of 18 runes, closely based on the historical Younger Futhark, introduced by Austrian mysticist and Germanic revivalist Guido von List in his ''Das Geheimnis der Runen'' (English: "The Secret of the Runes"), published as a periodical article in 1906, and as a standalone publication in 1908. The Armanen runes are still used today in esotericism and in currents of Germanic neopaganism. ==Publication== Von List claimed they were "revealed" to him while in an 11-month state of temporary blindness after a cataract operation on both eyes in 1902. This vision in 1902 allegedly opened what List referred to as his "inner eye", via which the "Secret of the Runes" was revealed to him. List stated that his Armanen Futharkh were encrypted in the ''Rúnatal'' of the Poetic Edda (stanzas 138 to 165 of the Hávamál), with stanzas 147 through 165, where Odin enumerates eighteen wisdoms (with 164 being an interpolation), interpreted as being the "song of the 18 runes". List and many of his followers believed his runes to represent the "primal runes" upon which all historical rune rows were based. The book was dedicated to his good friend Friedrich Wannieck and in the introduction before his discussion of the runes there is a copy of a correspondence between Wannieck and List. ''Das Geheimnis der Runen'' was published in Leipzig and Vienna in 1908 by the Guido-von-List-Gesellschaft (Gross-Lichterfelde).〔English translation of 'Das Geheimnis der Runen' by Stephen E.

The book was also published as a periodical article as '' 'Das Geheimnis der Runen' '', 'Neue Metaphysische Rundschau' () 13 (1906), 23-4, 75-87, 104-26.〔The Occult Roots of Nazism by Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke〕 An English language translation of the book was published in 1988 by Stephen E.
