Summary
Johannes Bureus (1568–1652), who was the teacher of king Gustavus Adolphus, was a pioneer in runology and Swedish linguistics and is acknowledged as the father of Swedish grammar, but Bureus himself thought that it was within the sphere of mysticism that he made his most important contribution. Bureus himself called his esoteric system for Nordic cabbala a notaricon suethia or a kabala Upsalica. Bureus also applied the methods of the cabbala to his runological research. This book is concerned with the esoteric elements in Gothicism as they are expressed in the writings of Johannes Bureus. The focus is on a description of Bureus' most important esoteric work: Adulruna rediviva. For the first time in Russia and in the Russian language Bureus' system is described, based on the original sources, which are located in Stockholm, Uppsala and Linkoping. The most important source materials were the six manuscripts of Bureus' esoteric work entitled Adulruna rediviva. Four of these are found in the Royal Library in Stockholm and two are found in the Carolina Rediviva in Uppsala.
Thomas Karlsson has studied and practiced the occult sciences for more than twenty years and is the founder of the esoteric order Dragon Rouge. He is the main lyrics author for Therion, a Swedish metal band, whose last album "Gothic Kabbala," was inspired by this very book. Mr. Karlsson is a doctoral candidate in the History of Religion and has a M.A. in the History of Ideas. He leads the first study course on Western esoterism in the University of Stockholm. At present the author of this work is writing a doctoral dissertation about Johannes Bureus and the Gothic cabbala.
