Wiligut runes
Encyclopedia
The Wiligut runes are a runic row developed by Karl Maria Wiligut
in 1934. Wiligut rejected Guido von List
's Armanen runes
and his overall philosophy.
Wiligut claimed to have been initiated into "runic lore" by his grandfather Karl Wiligut (1794–1883).
His rune row has 24 letters, like the Elder Futhark
. Like von List's Armanen runes that are closely based on the Younger Futhark
, many of Wiligut's runes are identical to historical runes, with some additions. The historical Futhark sequence is not preserved.
Wiligut's names for his runes are: Tel, Man, Kaun, Fa, Asa, Os, Eis, Not, Tor, Tyr, Laf, Rit, Thorn, Ur, Sig
, Zil, Yr, Hag-Al, H, Wend-horn, Gibor
, Eh, Othil, Bar-Bjork.
Runes without historical precedents are Tel (A crossed ring, similar to a Phoenician ṭēth
), Tor (like a Latin T
), Zil (like a rotated Latin Z
), Gibor (taken from von List's runes). The shape of Wend-horn is similar to Tvimadur.
