“The author’s aim is to set forth the mystical system of numbers found in the runes, and to show their connection with the alphabetical magic of the late Greeks and Romans. The series of the 24 runes was composed at the end of the second century by Germanic soldiers serving in the Roman army. Their teachers in the art of alphabetical magic were the worshippers of Mithras… It is shown how, by means of the author’s reconstruction of the “uthark” series, the mystical ancient runic inscriptions can be calculated according to the principles of gematria.” (From the Summary.)
