[edit] The term Helrunar

Does anyone have his book that can quote on it as to the references for this word Helrunar? What is HIS defination of it, the history behind it, etc. From what I know it is a modern day term for "one who makes rune magick." Thanks! FK0071a 13:59, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

He explains in the book it is "hel"+"runar", "hel" being the underworld and "runar" being a spell. So you can translate it as anything from "magic from bygone days" to "necromancy" really.Denial 20:01, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Denial, many thanks for this, I greatly appreciate it. Is their any chance you can quote the bit in the book regarding this word? I will order the book but have to wait till next year. I would appreciate it if you could quote this section. Many thanks, 195.92.40.49 16:14, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

I only have it in German I'm afraid. You could try and ask the band Helrunar, they named themselves after the book so maybe they'll help. :-) Denial 00:13, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

The word is old: try searching for "Haliurunnae", and see Witch-hunt#Antiquity for a (very brief) synopsis. Sorry I can't help with clarifying Fries' usage. Fuzzypeg☻ 22:33, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hangon

A number of related articles were recently AfDed and most were kept, several speedily kept (e.g. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Peter Carroll and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Phil Hine). This article does not merit speedy deletion. It at least should go through AfD process. —Hanuman Das 06:24, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

I'll do some work on it, if anyone is interested in keeping the article going. reineke 14:26, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
