Also good book. I recommend the books futhark and uthark, the night side of the runes @RiseorDie both by edred thorsson, I believe.

Uthark is Thomas Karlsson. Good book, Stephen Flowers is a mixed bag.

Looking at urthark and I haven’t seen a book that expensive since the book of azazel

I’ve used the Runes to call down entities and as magic tools to materialize and charge my intent. They have a hella lotta power. You shouldn’t minimize them to tell-the-future playthings that are at the whim of fate. The Runes are guides, sigils, beacons and more.

Fair question.
Off the top of my head there hasn’t been anything I can think of that we have opposing views on but the Runes is one of the topics I agree highly in. Don’t get me wrong we have our differences in practice which aren’t so much disagreements but over all not that I know of. Although there may be.

I also find it synchronistic that you mention runes - Yesterday I used them for the first time. I created a servitor with bind runes as a sort of sigil and name, also for the first time (making a servitor).
The runes felt very powerful and they can be really nasty which I liked for this work.

Damn I need to buy runes it can be more than good for me, I’m thinking @asbjorntorvol tell me maybe I heared wrong , if I would work with norse gods I need to sacrifice very much like my familly ?, my wife,? I’m really poor at English listening 
but to use runes , norse gods are optional right ?

Well first off I do offer custom made, ritually consecrated runes if anyone is interested in getting a pair. All hand made by myself.
As for working with the gods, you don’t need to sacrifice anything you are not willing to. I sacrificed a lot but all of it in the end I was willing to give up.
You get what you put in after all. Some sacrifice goods, some sacrifice parts of themselves. Its all optional. You could work just with the runes and not with any of the Norse Gods, in theory.

Great reading, think i need to dust of my copy of uthark was years since i read it.
Really like the approach you took for the working with the runes it reminds me alot of the story of Odins struggle and dedication to learn the runes and the power they contain.
Havent worked with then myself more then my studies and early interest for nordic mythology i early got the understanding of the runes inner meaning or power for more then simple being a written alphabet.
And i firmly believe that just as Oden work and sacrifice must be given to learn them and master them which to me concludes that the meaning or power of them must be personaly unlocked and that others may only guide you on the path.
Hopefully there will be no need to stab oneself with a spear and hang oneself, sacrificed to oneself as Oden himself.
If memory serves me right he hanged for nine days to learn the mysteries so i really like the symbolism of you spending 9 days per Rune. All creed to you for your hard work and dedication.

Mr. Torval, I really wish you’d do a video course on runes and runic magick. I view you with the same reverance as Edred Thorsson, with regard to extensive knowledge of Scandinavian history and the runes. Just a thought.

Wow…
The person you are replying to is no longer affiliated with BALG, and from what I understand, has retired from the occult. They will not respond to you.
