[This is the entire first section of the The Vril-Gesellschaft; The Coming Millennium. The book is in ongoing development at this time]
Note
This work is meant to go over the various aspects that are of a more obscure and esoteric nature within the general field of Esoteric Hitlerism or Esoteric Nazism. Though I cannot provide out right direct proof, I have gone over several works and will attempt to present a coherent narrative and structure within this work.
"The Vril-Gesellschaft, The Coming Millennium" is meant to be both a reference book and a major work with concern to the nature of the technology that the National Socialist Reich had along with the trends that went into National Socialist thought, such as the Thule-Gesellschaft.Originally, this work began as a simple over view of the life of Maria Orsic but ballooned out into a work which would encompass everything not only surrounding the Thule-Gesellschaft, the Vril-Gesellschaft, Maria Orsic, the Haunebu UFO’s as well as Aldebaran. After careful consideration and examination of the information that I will present, I have come to the conclusion that earthly contemporary Aryans and all extraterrestrial Aryans ultimately descend from a single Aryan race that originated on a celestial body in the Aldebaran system at an unknown time. From there, they not only gradually began to colonize the planets through their "god-like" abilities and advanced technology which have alloed them to control the various subhuman races for eons. This is why the civilizations of the Aryans nearly 12,000 years ago, the legendary "Golden Age" with its mythical super-civilizations Thule-Hyperborea and Atlantis, to have such advanced technology which we do not yet possess even today. Since the time of the Second European Civil War, there have been mentioned extraterrestrial beings visiting our planet, however there have been possible earlier moments of contact, such as Crowley summoning a Grey like being. Over time, the idea of the Nordic-ET’s, such as the Aldebarans and Pleiadians, have been discussed and documented. Sirians, Regulans, Sassanians, etc., will be mentioned and described here as well since they have also been included in the rich literature of post-SECW period. There are multiple theories on the nature of the present-day earthly Aryans, that we are only the planetary colonists whose ancestors landed on their current "home worlds" at some point and populated them over time, mutating more or less depending on the environmental conditions of their celestial body, mostly planets. In our case this would have unforeseen consequences as this planet was home to the beast-men or apelings before us. The common origin of all earthly and extraterrestrial Aryans is also supported by various religious and mythological symbolism, which suggest that only a the race of Aryns are capable of greatness and galactic rule whereas the lesser, beast-men, races of this planet are nothing more than degenerate filth. According to the same trends, however, non-human and non-hominid races, intelligences, are indeed possible in our universe, and that they represent a threat far greater than that of the beast-men on this planet. Indeed, intelligence of a malicious kind watches us even now and moves against us!
Introduction:
In the vast lineage of Esoteric Hitlerism, I stand as a one among many in a tradition that stretches far beyond the confines of our earthly existence, reaching deep into the cosmic origins of our Aryan ancestry. As I undertake this monumental work, I am acutely aware of the immense wealth of knowledge and the great responsibility that lies before me — an intricate tapestry of esoteric teachings, advanced technologies, and cosmic mysteries that demand careful study and reverence in order to reveal the truth of our heritage. My goal with this work is not merely to recount these elements but to weave them together into a coherent narrative that reveals the true nature and destiny of the Aryan race, both on this planet, Earth, and among the stars.
This journey begins not with the well-known histories of our world but with the obscure and often hidden developments that took place in the early 20th century, around 1918, in Germany. Here, an esoteric-technological movement led by beautiful and powerful female mediums who through the ancient knowledge of our ancestors, communicating with beings from distant star systems. These mediums, through their spiritual and telepathic connections, laid the groundwork for the development of the so-called "beyond machines," advanced anti-gravity engines designed to transcend the limitations of conventional flight. These machines were not only intended for controllable anti-gravity flight but also for what was referred to as "dimensional channel space flight," or what we now might understand as hyperspace travel — a concept that even today is often relegated to the realms of science fiction.
The historical record, however, has not been kind to these achievements. The German projects involving these beyond machines and the advancements of various other technologies of the Third Reich have largely remained in obscurity or outright shunned by the public at large due to the propaganda that paints all forms of racialism as evil. This is a profound injustice to our race as we were meant for so much more than the situation we currently find ourselves in. The global hegemony, the Zionists, fear what these projects represent, for they are not only the cutting edge of a technological revolution that promised to unlock the very fabric of space and time, but a promise that we will rise again and again until our destiny has been unleashed.
Among the most enigmatic events associated with this period is the "Black Forest Incident" of 1936. In this event, a spacecraft, believed to be from the Pleiades—a colony of the Aryan Aldebarans—crashed in the dense woods of the Black Forest in Germany. The craft, which was either a 30-meter diameter "Light Cruiser" or a 17-meter "Single-Pilot Disc Fighter," descended from the cosmos only to meet its end on our planet. This incident, nearly erased from public memory, provided the prototype for what would later become known as the Haunebu spacecraft gyroscope and the Vril-1 Disc Fighter, cornerstones of the Reich's anti-gravity and spaceflight projects.
It is said that the Aldebarans, who colonized the planets within their star system and spread their influence across the galaxy, represent the zenith of Aryan cosmic civilization. These beings, whose technology and knowledge far surpassed our own, were not merely visitors from another world; they were our ancestors, returning to guide us toward our rightful place among the stars. Their crash in the Black Forest was no mere accident—it was a deliberate act of cosmic intervention, meant to reignite the dormant potential within the Aryan race and to prepare us for the coming galactic struggle.
Indeed, this struggle has been ongoing for eons, as the ancient Aryan civilizations of Earth, such as Thule-Hyperborea and Atlantis, once wielded powers and technologies that modern science can scarcely comprehend. These civilizations, according to esoteric tradition, were direct colonies or outposts of the Aldebarans, who had established their presence on Earth during the legendary Golden Age, a time when the Aryan race ruled supreme over the subhuman races that inhabited this planet. The knowledge and technologies they left behind—relics of a time when men were as gods—formed the basis of the Reich's own efforts to reclaim this lost heritage.
As we delve deeper into these subjects, we must recognize that the story of the Aryan race is not merely one of earthly conquest but of cosmic destiny. The Reich's efforts to reclaim the lost technologies of Atlantis and Thule, and to establish contact with our cosmic brethren in the Aldebaran system, were part of a larger plan to secure our place among the stars. The Vril Project, which sought to develop anti-gravity and spaceflight technologies, was not just about technological advancement—it was about reconnecting with our ancestral heritage and preparing for the inevitable return of the galactic empire that once ruled the cosmos.
This book will explore these and many other topics in exhaustive detail, from the esoteric teachings of the Thule Society to the technological marvels of the Vril and Haunebu projects. We will uncover the hidden history of the Aryan race, tracing our lineage back to the stars and revealing the cosmic forces that have shaped our destiny. In doing so, we will not only rediscover the lost knowledge of our ancestors but also forge a path toward the future, a future where the Aryan race will once again rise to its rightful place as the rulers of both Earth and the galaxy.
Through this work, we will delve into the intricacies of the galactic war that has pitted the Aryan Aldebarans against their ancient enemies, the Regulans and Sassanians. We will examine the role of the Sirians, the Pleiadians, and other extraterrestrial races in this cosmic conflict, and how their struggles have influenced the course of human history on Earth. We will also explore the technological advancements that have come from these interactions, from the development of the first beyond machines to the creation of the Haunebu spacecraft, and how these technologies have been suppressed and hidden from the public by those who fear the rise of the Aryan race.
This is not merely a historical account, but a call to action. As we uncover the truth about our past, we must also prepare for the future. The galactic war is not over, and the forces of chaos and degeneration continue to conspire against us. But with the knowledge contained in these writings, we can reclaim our heritage, we can build anew that which was destroyed in the fires of the Second European Civil War, and fulfill our cosmic destiny. The dream of Hitlerism! The Aryan race was born among the stars, and it is to the stars that we shall return! This is the duty we were charged with when our Führer, Adolf Hitler, the incarnation of Wotan, gave his final decree to us;
“.….there will come in one way or another into German history the seed of a brilliant renaissance of the National Socialist movement and thus the realization of a true national community.”
SEIG HEIL! HEIL HITLER!
Suppression of History
Our history has been clearly suppressed, not just in the past few decades, but the many centuries if not millennium, our very origin has been obscured from us through propagandistic distortions. We have been made to forget who we truly are over the many centuries, not just from one political organization or institution, but by many. From the judeo-christian worms to the machinations of the CIA and various other intelligence organizations, our history has been attacked by those with a vested interest in keeping us enslaved to the prevailing world view, a world view which is built on a tangled web of historical lies.
Much of what went into the period preceding the triumph of the NSDAP and Hitler in the 30’s has been left in untranslated works, scattered to the distant corners of physical libraries and archival sites of the internet. What trends, ideas, thoughts, and cultural forms created the fertile ground for that rise of Hitlerism has been misunderstood for far too long. The esoteric, occult, pagan side of National Socialism has been long abandoned by those who have no true understanding of the words of the Führer and of those around him. Too long the notion that one must neuter themselves before the masses, to make themselves as bland and uninteresting as possible, reigned supreme in the mind of those who walk the path of Hitlerism. We must not be afraid to be called outcasts, schizo’s, or fringe, for only through genuine and honest belief can the masses be swayed away from the poisonous elite.
Focusing on economics alone wins you no one, if focusing on economics was enough, the socialists would have stormed over congress with the “mantle of heaven”, as all that socialists ever go on and on about is the economy, about materialistic nonsense. It is not the economy that ultimately drives one to desire the overturning of their country, though yes it does play a part in such an event, but one must realize that the masses will never move on their own against a government. One must come to dominate them mentally, to have taken their attention and them draw them under your sway entirely, this is what the Führer did. One can see it in his hand movements while he is speaking, hand signs being given as a means to mesmerize the masses. Slowly the Führer was overturning the idea of the Weimar government not just physically, but within the very minds of the German masses he was overturning the Weimar government.
The Führer did not just speak about the economy, he spoke of the true Aryan essence, of what it truly means to be an Ario-German. He was not afraid to speak on our mystical essence and past, he fully embraced the teachings of the Thule-Gesellschaft and the Vril-Gesellschaft, ultimately surpassing both of them as the Führer is an incarnation of Wuotan, the true god of the Ario-Germans.
The history of the Thule-Gesellschaft and the Vril-Gesellschaft has long since been hidden and distorted, as the insidious elite understand that if they are to prevent the return of National Socialism then they must kill it in the “womb”, prevent the formation of that same fertile ground which lead to the incarnation of Wuotan appearing. This is why Wuotan gave us this mission, that we are to create a radiant renaissance of the National-Socialist movement;
“From the sacrifice of our soldiers and from my own unity with them unto death, will in any case spring up in the history of Germany, the seed of a radiant renaissance of the National-Socialist movement and thus of the realization of a true community of nations.”
Our sacred duty has been issued unto us then, we have a sacred duty of blasting apart the lies and returning that fertile ground which will spring forth another National Socialist movement. Many would say that we cannot create such a fertile ground, only showing how much the nihilism of the American culture has poisoned their minds. We must dive head long, eyes wide open, into the abyss of the various esoteric and occult trends, to have a complete understanding of them so as to have the Renaissance of National Socialism. Through this reintroduction of the fertile ground, we will see a multitude of different forms of National Socialism, which will all vie for public dominance. Only the strongest and most purified form will triumph.
This is why our history has been suppressed, falsified, because ultimately they are afraid of what the appearance of the next incarnation of Wuotan would mean. It would be the death of their world, of their age, and the birth of the next. Prophecies were described of who the incarnation of Wuotan would be and what actions he would take to restore the true Ario-Germanic laws to their sacred place would be. Prophecies have since been given again on the appearance of another incarnation by various people, including the preistess of Wuoton, Savitri Devi, on what the signs would be, that should be watched for. We must have no fear in this regard.
Through the restoration of not only the teachings of the Thule-Gesellschaft and the Vril-Gesellschaft, but of von List, of the Ariosophists, of the SS, and of the movements who came after, such as Wilhelm Landig, can we then have a vibrant culture which would form the foundation to fight off the nihilism of this age. To see this in real time, look at the various Hyperborean artists whose works inspire the masses to cast off their stupor and to relive the Hyperborean dream again.
Americans, especially Americans, love conspiracy theories and believe in far stranger things than what I will present in this work. To downplay or to try to neuter yourself when there is a vast space to fill in the minds of the masses, is to cut your legs off at the knees, to handicap yourself. Everything is to be used as a possible advantage against the jewish elite. Our volk are clamoring for a new mythos, a new understanding of the world around them. They languish under the yoke of materialistic ideologies that push nihilism and despair onto the population.
A new age is upon us, the age of a reborn National Socialism, we must not shy away from embracing the esoteric, the occult, the pagan, or even the more fringe ideas which have expressed themselves in various forms of our National Socialist tradition. We must pull from the depths of time, of history, all that has gone into the thought of National Socialism, then we will have the knowledge to form a proper vanguard that will see to it that we take not just this planet, but expand outwards into the starts!
As we continue to explore these themes, we must recognize that though there is a battle being waged in the stars or on the metaphysical/astral plane,our battle is here, against an elite who wish to see us dead. We must remember who we are, embrace who we were and can be again. Head the words of Isais;
Through iron times you will go, through cruel, hard, without sunny nature.
It must not frighten you. For harder you are.
Through hollow emptiness you will go, through hours of seemingly lost meaning.
It must not paralyze you. For meaningful you are.
Through stony deserts you will go, desolate and without shielding.
It must not torment you. For comfort you and shielding you are.
Through raging storms you will go, everything, it seems, they tear away.
It must not make you complain and tremble. For rich you are within.
Through rough mountains you will go, pitiless, scraping the rock.
It must not hinder you. For tougher you are.
Through the suffering of disappointment you will go, prepared by humanity.
It must not bend you, For truly you are.
Through manifold tribulations yet you will go and yet always prevail.
For hope you are. And rightly trusting.
Do not hope in my and the gods' powers, this note therefore: all time hope be strong.
Nothing then can also conquer you.
Before The Vril-Gesellschaft
The Rise of Esotericism in Pre-Modern to Modern Europe
In order to give a full understanding of what the Vril-Gesellschaft was, time must be taken to present the movements and ideas that came before the arrival of Maria Orsic in Munich. Central Europe before the First European Civil War (1ECW) was awash in esoteric, occult, and pagan movements which were of a nationalist and anti-Semitic nature. These various occult trends would go on to shape the later NSDAP greatly, much of the ideology being built off of them. However, this is not enough to illustrate the crisis of faith that gripped Central Europe in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries.
Since the 16th century, Europe had entered into a crisis and was spiraling towards destruction, the protestant reformation would unleash devastation not just on the physical but the spiritual and mental mind of all Europeans. The nail was driven home on 23 May 1618, the coffin was made, as this was the date that the Thirty Years War began. This was a conflict with such a colossal effect that we are still dealing with it well over 400 years later. Though there had been occult and esoteric christian practitioners before the Thirty Years War, it was this war that signaled the death of the over-arching religious understanding of the world, the death of Christianity. Nothing like the Thirty Years war had been seen before, the amount of death and carnage in some areas of the Holy Roman Empire at the time reached as high as 66% of the local population declining. The general population is estimated to have fallen from around 18 and 20 million in 1600, 18 years before the war, to around 11 to 13 million in 1650, 2 years after the end of the war and would not not regain pre-war levels until 1750. Seeing this amount of death would have obliterated the mental stability of anyone, whole areas being wiped out, so destructive was this war that the NSDAP even spoke on the horrific effects of it during their reign.
But this is only the material, the lives, the physical cost of the war, this is not the final effect, that nail in the coffin which sealed the fate of Christianity. No one truly won this war, neither the Protestants nor the Catholics achieved their objectives in this war which shook their faith in religion to the very core of their being. Modern understandings of war are different than the historical understanding, especially in the case of the Thirty Years War. This was a war to determine which understanding of Christianity was correct, both sides believing that Yahweh/Jesus was with them, and yet no one won. Such a blow to the subconscious was this that the Prophet of National Socialism, Friedrich Nietzsche, would correct proclaim in his 1882 work, The Gay Science, that;
“God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?”
Yahweh/Jesus died on the fields of battle in Germany between the years 1618 and 1648, forever staining the religion of Christianity as a broken pedestal in the minds of Europeans. Though it would take time for this to be fully felt and understood, the occult movements soon flourished, with the Grand Lodge of London and Westminster opening on 24 June 1717. Though many would continue to call themselves christian, the supplementing of christian beliefs either along side of or outright replace with occult or esoteric beliefs shows how quickly trends were beginning to emerge that had the stain of the Thirty Years War on them. Horrifically however, this would only mark the beginning of a type of reactionary movement in England, as the Puritans hyper-fixation on purity and direct connection to Yahweh/Jesus can been understood as a reaction to the effect of the end of the Thirty Years War.
Both sides in the conflict believed god to be with them, but the treaty of this war, the Peace of Westphalia, brought about secularism. The Holy Roman Empire was both a temporal and spiritual leader, though his position within the church hierarchy was a separate conflict, but after the Thirty Years War the Emperor lost all spiritual power and was rendered a secular monarch. Although Catholics and Lutherans were now redefined as equals before the law, and Calvinism was given legal recognition as an official religion, this isn’t what any of the parties wanted. They wanted to stamp each other out, to proclaim total triumph over their enemies. Pope Innocent X demonstrates this quite clearly by calling the Peace of Westphalia "null, void, invalid, iniquitous, unjust, damnable, reprobate, inane, empty of meaning and effect for all time" in the papal brief Zelo Domus Dei. The Peace of Westphalia satisfied no one but both sides were tired of thirty years of war.
Interestingly enough, only a few years before the outbreak of the war, between 1610 and 1615 two anonymous manifestos appeared in what is today Germany and soon after were published throughout Europe. The Fama Fraternitatis Rosae Crucis (The Fame of the Brotherhood of the Rosy Cross) and the Confessio Fraternitatis (The Confession of the Brotherhood of RC) promised a "universal reformation of mankind" through a science which was to be "built on esoteric truths of the ancient past", which, "concealed from the average man, provide insight into nature, the physical universe, and the spiritual realm", which was presented as having been kept secret for decades until the intellectual climate was ready to receive it. The idea of there being an intellectual climate which was ready to receive esoteric knowledge should raise a few eyebrows as the Thirty years war would quickly break out after these were published, heralding the coming spiritual and mental transformation.
Returning to events that would unfold in England, the Puritans would assume political power with the rise of Oliver Cromwell, the “Intergnum” period beginning just a year after the conclusion of the Thirty Years War. Puritanism can be seen as a reaction to what was coming, as the Puritans themselves demanded their congregation to see themselves as "the godly", "saints", "professors", or "God's children" rather than calling themselves Puritans. Puritanism is noted for being "more intensely protestant than their protestant neighbors or even the Church of England". An anonymous anti-masonic work of 1745, commonly attributed to Abbé Larudan, would claim that Oliver Cromwell was the founder of Masonry but this has not been substantiated. However, it should be noted that many Puritans headed for the overseas colonies that England had in the United States while also having a sizable masonic population, which 21st century Americans can atest too. Scot John Skene came to New Jersey in 1682 and was dedicated by the Grand Lodge of New Jersey as the first Freemason resident in America. So pervasive is the influence of the Masonic lodges that George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Paul Revere, John Hancock, Richard Montgomery, Joseph Warren, John Sullivan, James Monroe, Marquis de Lafayette, and Thomas Paine were revolutionary members who were Freemasons. It would be better to call the American Revolution, the Masonic Revolution of 1776.
The Masonic influence does not end here, however, with concern to the American continent as the Mormon faith prophet, Joeseph Smith, along with Brigham Young, John Taylor, and Wilfor Woodruff were all confirmed members of the masons. This is especially telling as the supplementing of original christian beliefs with more occult, esoteric, or pagan beliefs/practices only further shows the decay of Christianity in the hearts and minds of the general population.
However, the Masonic Revolution of 1776 was not the last time Masons would be involved in revolutionary activities as they were working diligently on the European continent. Not only that but other occult movements had begun to arise. Adam Weishaupt (1748–1830) became the only non-clerical professor, specifically a professor of Canon Law and practical philosophy, at the University of Ingolstadt in 1773 which was an institution run by Jesuits. Even though Pope Clement XIV had dissolved the order, in 1773, the Jesuits of Ingolstadt retained the purse strings and some power at the university, which they continued to regard as their own. Adam Weishaupt initially tried to become a freemason but found that they weren’t open to his ideas, so Adam Weishaupt opened his own society which was initially called the Bund der Perfektibilisten, or Covenant of Perfectibility (Perfectibilists). Due to the name being rather strange, he would change the name of the order in April 1778 to the Illuminatenorden, or Order of Illuminati, after Weishaupt had seriously contemplated the name Bee order. By the end of 1784, membership for the Illuminati would be around 650, however Weishaupt and Hertel later claimed a figure of 2,500. A major even for the Illuminati would happen in 1782, the Congress of Wilhelmsbad took place in 1782 near the city of Hanau in Hesse-Cassel and was presided over by Ferdinand, Duke of Brunswick. This not only shows the power and influence that the Illumiati had at the time but their influence. Albery Mackey, an American who at the time of 1782 was considered a leading masonic writer, refers to this Congress as "the most important Masonic Congress of the eighteenth century”. The fact that both the Masons and the Illuminati orders where at this event should give gravity to this event, as it was at this event where both backed the burgeoning French Revolution. Though there were members of the freemasons on both the republican and royalist sides, the masonic lodges had assumed a great degree of independence from the State and the Church, allowing for the masons to have greater and greater aspirations. Suspected or outright freemasons on the side of the revolution were Marquis de Lafayette, Georges Danton, Honoré Gabriel Riqueti the Count of Mirabeau, Duke of Orléans Louis Philippe II, Charles Maurice de Talleyrand, Joseph Ignace Guillotin, Jean-Baptiste Kléber, Maximilien Robespierre, Jean-Paul Marat, and Camille Desmoulins. It is safe to say that this was the French Masonic Revolution.
Many would claim that Napoleon Bonaparte was a freemason, however, there is no outright definitive evidence of this but he was a supporter of Freemasonry while he was on the throne.
With that we finally come to the 19th century, nearly two hundred years of bloodly revolution that would continue on to this very day. Christianity was bloodied after all of these events which is what prompted Nietzsche to make his famous proclamation in 1882. But we have finally arrived at a movement which directly lead to the events of the 1920’s and 30’s, we have arrived at the birth of Helena Blavatsky and the Theosophy movement.
The Rise of Theosophy
Born on 12 August 1831 in Yekaterinoslav, of the Yekaterinoslav Governorate in the Russian Empire, Helena Petrovna Hahn von Rottenstern, later known as Helena Petrovna Blavatsky. Helena was born to an aristocratic family of German and Russian heritage though she would claim to be descended from a french Huguenot nobleman who had fled to Russia to escape persecution and ultimately would serve in the court of Catherine the Great. Her father was a colonel in the Russian Imperial military and her mother was a self-educated Princess of the House of Dolgorukov, a princely Russian family of Rurikid stock.
After a time the family would return from Ukraine, they moved around frequently to different parts of the Empire, to Saint Petersberg in 1836 where Helena’s mother established a literary career where she would pen novels under the pseudonym of "Zenaida R-va" and translating the works of the English novelist Edward Bulwer-Lytton for Russian publication. However, this was not to last as the family was moved again in 1838 to Poltava in Ukraine where Helena’s mother taught her how to play the piano and prepared her to take dance lessons. The family would move to Saratov along the Volga river but would move to Poland and then Odessa where tragedy struck the family, Helena’s mother would die at the age of 28 in June 1842 from tuberculosis. Helena and her two surviving siblings would be sent to live with their maternal grandparents in Saratov where heir grandfather Andrei had been appointed Governor of Saratov Governorate.
While in Saratov, Helena claims that she discovered the personal library of her maternal great-grandfather, Prince Pavel Vasilevich Dolgorukov (d. 1838) which contained a variety of books on esoteric or occult subjects that she would begin to devour. Prince Pavel Dolgorukov had been initiated into Freemasonry in the late 1770s and had belonged to the Rite of Strict Observance. As well as having been rumored to have met both Alessandro Cagliostro (a famous Italian Occultist) and the Count of St. Germain. Likewise, Helena would also claim to have began to experience visions in which she encountered a "Mysterious Indian" man, and that in later life she would meet this man in the flesh.
She would travel around, as she would claim in her later life, with her father but, not to delay on her early life, when she would turn 17 she agreed to be married to Nikifor Vladimirovich Blavatsky, a man in his forties who worked as Vice Governor of Erivan Province. However, as Blavatsky claims, she would flee her escorts and bribing the captain of the ship that had taken her to Kerch, she would find herself in Constantinople. This marked the start of nine years spent traveling the world, which many would speculate that this was financed by her father.
Her life enters into the realm of adventurism, with contemporary historians being unable to distinguish possible fantasy from fact, as Helen claims to have traveled to Greece, Egypt, France, North America, and then to Asia. She would arrive in Canada in the autumn of 1851. She was inspired by the novels of James Fenimore Cooper, and so she sought out the Native American communities of Quebec in the hope of meeting their magico-religious specialists but was instead robbed. She would later attributed this behavior of the Natives' to be due to the corrupting influence of Christian missionaries. She would then head south into the USA, visiting New Orleans, Texas, Mexico, and the Andes, before taking a ship from the West Indies to Ceylon and then traveling to Bombay. She would then spend two years in India, allegedly following the instructions found in letters that Morya had sent to her. After this, she attempted to enter Tibet, but was prevented from doing so by the British colonial administration.
After this, she would head back to Europe by ship, surviving a shipwreck near the Cape of Good Hope before arriving in England in 1854, where she would face hostility as she was a Russian citizen and the British were fighting the Russians in the ongoing Crimean War. Deciding to continue to travel, she sailed to the USA, visiting New York City, Chicago, Salt Lake City, and San Francisco before once again moving on Japan and India. This time her attempt at entering into Tibet was successful, entering Tibet in 1856 through Kashmir whil being accompanied by a Tartar shaman who was attempting to reach Siberia and who thought that Blavatsky, as a Russian citizen, would be able to help him in his journey. However, after reaching Leh they got lost but were able to join a traveling Tartar group before she headed back to India. She would then set sail, returning to Europe via Madras and Java.
After spending some time in France and Germany, she returned to her family in 1858, who were then based in Pskov. She later claimed that this is where she began to exhibit further paranormal abilities, with rapping and creaking accompanying her around the house and that furniture was being moved of its own volition. In 1860, she and her sister visited their maternal grandmother in Tiflis. However, in 1864, while riding in Mingrelia, Blavatsky fell from her horse and was in a coma for several months with a spinal fracture. While recovering in Tiflis, she claimed that upon awaking she gained full control of her paranormal abilities. After recovering, she then proceeded to Italy, Transylvania, and Serbia. During this, it is generally believed that she was studying the Cabalah with a rabbi. In 1867, she proceeded to the Balkans, Hungary, and then Italy, where she spent time in Venice, Florence, and Mentana, claiming that in the latter she had been injured fighting for Garibaldi at the Battle of Mentana. She claimed to have received a message from Morya to travel to Constantinople, where he met her, and together they traveled overland to Tibet.
While in Tibet, she claimed that she was taught an ancient yet unknown language called as Senzar. She apparently would translate a number of ancient texts written in this language that were preserved by the monks of a monastery, however, she was not permitted entry into the monastery itself. Her claims with concern to Tibet have been heavily speculated upon with many biographers expressing doubt about the veracity of Blavatsky's claims with concern to her trips to Tibet. However, as several biographers have also noted, traders and pilgrims from neighboring lands were able to access Tibet quite easily meaning that there is a possibility that she was allowed to enter accompanied by Morya, particularly if she had been mistaken for an Asian.
However, after leaving Tibet and traveling some more in the Eastern Mediterranean and Europe in general, she would arrive in New York on 8 July 1873. It was in New York, specifically on 7 September 1875 that Helena Blavatsky would form the Theosophical Society.
Having gone over Helena Blavatsky’s life up until the formation of the Theosophical Society, we can now begin to dissect what Theosophy is. In 1877 Helena published 'Isis Unveiled', a book outlining her Theosophical world-view. Associating it closely with the occult doctrines of Hermeticism and Neoplatonism, Blavatsky described Theosophy as "the synthesis of science, religion and philosophy", proclaiming that it was reviving an "Ancient Wisdom" which underlay all the world's religions.
“The Secret Doctrine” is a two volume book published in 1888, and is Helena Blavatsky's magnum opus. The first volume is named Cosmogenesis and the second Anthropogenesis. The Secret Doctrine would be extremely influential in the revival of interest in esoteric and occult ideas in the 19th century, in particular because of its claim to reconcile ancient wisdom with modern science. Blavatsky would claim that the contents of the book were revealed to her by 'spiritual beings', Masters, who had retained knowledge of humanity's spiritual history, knowledge that it was now possible, in part, to reveal to the wider masses.
Central to Theosophical belief is the idea that a group of spiritual leaders, known as the Masters, not only exist but were responsible for the production of early Theosophical texts. It is posited that, for most Theosophists, these Masters are deemed to be the real founders of the modern Theosophical movement. These Masters are also referred to by different titles such as the Mahatmas, Adepts, Masters of Wisdom, Masters of Compassion, and Elder Brothers. They are perceived to be a fraternity of men who are highly evolved in both the moral development and intellectual attainment, surpassing typical human understanding. They are said to have achieved extra-long life spans, and to have gained supernatural powers, such as clairvoyance and astral projection. These are powers have allegedly been attained through many years of training.
The Masters are believed to an ancient spiritual knowledge, which one can understand as a primordial or perennial tradition. Supposedly the Great White Brotherhood or White Lodge of these masters is what watches over humanity and guides its evolution. Many early Theosophists believed these Masters were Biblical figures such as Abraham, Moses, Solomon, and Jesus, Asian religious figures such as Gautama Buddha, Confucius, and Laozi, and modern individuals such as Jakob Bohme, Alessandro Cagliostro, and Franz Mesmer. Helena Blavatsky would, however, say that the two men she met on her journey, Koot Hoomi (sometimes spelled Kuthumi) and Morya, were masters themselves. Theosophists believe that the Masters approach those deemed worthy to embark on an apprenticeship or chelaship.Given that Helena is said to have entered into Tibet through Kashmir and had encounters with Buddhists and Hindus, there is a possible reason for her belief in the masters as a form of the Guru, specifically the Tantric form of the Guru. Guru’s are quite important with Tantra and this focus on a spiritual master who guides you towards a higher state can be understood as a translation of the Tantric Guru into a form that is more palatable for a western audience.
The ancient wisdom that the masters are believed to have can be also seen as the germination of what would eventually evolve into the perennial traditionalism of René Guénon and Julius Evola. Although, both Evola and Guénon would criticize Theosophy. Helena believed that a "secret doctrine" was known to Plato and early Hindu sages and that said secret doctrine continues to underpin the center of every religion. Blavatsky believed that this ancient religion was to be revived and spread throughout humanity in the future. That this revived perennial religion would replace all dominant world religions such as Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism.
The first Volumes explains the origin and evolution of the universe itself, in terms of the concept of cyclical development. The world and everything in it is said to have alternated between periods of activity, and periods of passivity. Each period of activity lasts many millions of years, and consists of a number of eons. Blavatsky attempted to demonstrate that the discoveries of 'materialist' science had been anticipated in the writings of the ancients, and that materialism would eventually be proven wrong. Of note should be that during Blavatsky’s life materialist ideologies where on the rise, as with the slow fall of Christianity there was a rise of nihilism in the form of atheism and marxism.
One of the most influential components of the Theosophy doctrine would be the “root race” concept which is described in the second volume of the Secret Doctrine. Blavatsky put forth the idea of seven "Root Races", with each one dividing into seven Sub-Races. The first of these root races would be a purly spiritual race that lived on a continent known as the "Imperishable Sacred Land". Hyperboreans were the second Root Race who were also formed from pure spirit, and lived on Hyperborea, a continent to the far North that a mild climate at one point. The third lived on the continent of Lemuria, which Blavatsky alleged survives today as Australia and Rapa Nui. The fourth Root Race living on the continent of Atlantis and possessed physical bodies but also psychic powers and advanced technology. The fifth Root Race to emerge was the Aryans who would come to be replaced by the sixth, which would be heralded by the arrival of Maitreya, a figure from Mahayana Buddhist mythology. This sixth root race would eventually develop into the final, seventh Root Race which would mark the end of humanity’s evolutionary cycle and life was to then withdraw from the Earth.
Within Blavatsky’s doctrine, some races are clearly less fully human or spiritual than the 'Aryans' ('the noble ones'), which can be seen in this passage;
“Mankind is obviously divided into 'god-informed' men and lower human creatures. The intellectual difference between the Aryan and other civilized nations and such savages as the South Sea Islanders, is inexplicable on any other grounds. No amount of culture, nor generations of training amid civilization, could raise such human specimens as the Bushmen, the Veddhas of Ceylon, and some African Tribes, to the same intellectual level as the Aryans, and the Turanians. The 'sacred spark' is missing in them and it is they who are the only inferior races on the globe, now happily – owing to the wise adjustment of nature which ever works in that direction – fast dying out. Verily mankind is not of the same essence. We are the hot-house, artificially quickened plants in nature, having in us a spark, which in them is latent”
When discussing "sterility between two human races" as observed by Darwin, Blavatsky notes:
"Of such semi-animal creatures, (Chandals - Untermenschen, as described by Liebemfels) the sole remnants known to Ethnology were the Tasmanians, a portion of the Australians and a mountain tribe in China, the men and women of which are entirely covered with hair. They were the last descendants in a direct line of the semi-animal latter-day Lemurians referred to. There are, however, considerable numbers of the mixed Lemuro-Atlantean peoples produced by various crossings with such semi-human stocks – e.g., the inhabitants of Borneo, the Veddhas of Ceylon, most of the remaining Australians, Bushmen, Negos, Andaman Islanders, etc"
Blavatsky notes that there is also a connection between physical race and spiritual attributes:
"Esoteric history teaches that idols and their worship died out with the Fourth Race, until the survivors of the hybrid races of the latter (Chinese, African negroes, &c.) gradually brought the worship back. ~ The MONADS of the lowest specimens of humanity (the "narrow-brained" savage South-Sea Islander, the African, the Australian) had no Karma to work out when first born as men, as their more favoured brethren in intelligence had"
Blavatsky also prophesies of the destruction of the racial "failures of nature" as the "higher race" ascends:
"Thus will mankind, race after race, perform its appointed cycle-pilgrimage. Climates will, and have already begun, to change, each tropical year after the other dropping one sub-race, but only to beget another higher race on the ascending cycle; while a series of other less favoured groups – the failures of nature – will, like some individual men, vanish from the human family without even leaving a trace behind"
There is also the idea of the medium appears in Theosophy, an important detail given the Vril-Gesellschaft being primarily composed of female mediums;
“Mediumship. A word now accepted to indicate that abnormal psycho-physiological state which leads a person to take the fancies of his imagination, his hallucinations, real or artificial, for realities. No entirely healthy person on the physiological and psychic planes can ever be a medium. That which mediums see, hear, and sense, is "real" but untrue; it is either gathered from the astral plane, so deceptive in its vibrations and suggestions, or from pure hallucinations, which have no actual existence, but for him who perceives them. "Mediumship" is a kind of vulgarised mediatorship in which one afflicted with this faculty is supposed to become an agent of communication between a living man and a departed "Spirit." There exist regular methods of training for the development of this undesirable acquirement.”
Blavatsky also states: "Verily mankind is not of the same essence."
Since its inception, the Theosophical doctrine has syncritized many doctrines together from a wide variety of religions.The doctrine of theosophy would go on to heavily influence the development of other mystical, philosophical, and political movements - including the völkische Bewegung. Blavatsky's published Theosophical ideas, particularly the 'Root Races', would go on to be cited as an influence on 'Ariosophy', the esoteric movement established in late 19th and early 20th century Germany and Austria by Guido von List, and also on the writings and thought Jörg Lanz von Liebenfels, described as 'Theozoology'.
Ariosophy
"And if adversity and ingratitude come your way on your life's journey, then continue to fight courageously and strive to overcome your adversaries. However, avoid dishonest means that would dishonor you; remember, life is a struggle and the prize of the struggle is virtue. Because life is given by God and is inherently good, so must and will virtue prevail, and so will you, if you are righteous."
— Guido von List
Guido von List
Born as Guido Karl Anton List on the 5th of October, 1848, Guido would go on to be one of the most influential writers who is seen as one of the most important figures in Germanic revivalism, Germanic mysticism, Runic Revivalism and Runosophy though he was also an Austrian/German (Viennese) poet, journalist, writer, businessman and dealer of leather goods, mountaineer, hiker, dramatist, playwright, and rower. Guido von List’s works are still read to this day though some of his works have yet to be translated out of German. Von List was born to a wealthy middle-class catholic family in Vienna, however, von List claimed that he abandoned his family's catholicism in his childhood, instead devoting himself to the pre-Christian god Wuotan.
He is the author of Das Geheimnis der Runen (The Secret of the Runes), which is a detailed study of the Armanen Futharkh, his intellectual world-view (as realised in the years between 1902 and 1908), an introduction to the rest of his work and is widely regarded as the pioneering work of Runology in modern occultism.
Guido Karl Anton List was born in Vienna in the Austrian Empire to Karl Anton List, a prosperous middle class leather goods dealer, and Maria List. In 1862, Guido would go on a visit to the catacombs beneath the Stephansdom (St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna), which subsequently made a deep impression upon List who would go on to regard the catacombs as a pagan shrine. Later, as an adult, von List would claim that he had then sworn to build a temple to Wotan when he grew up. This he recounted in volume 2 (page 592-593) of his book Deutsch-Mythologische Landschaftsbilder:
“It was in the year 1862 - I was then in my fourteenth year - when, after much pleading, I received permission from my father to join him and his company, who planned to visit the catacombs, then still in their original state. We descended and what we saw and felt stirred me with a power that I can no longer comprehend today. There we came - it was, if I remember correctly - in the third or fourth nave, before a ruined altar. The guide said that we were now under the old post office (today the house Wollzeile No. 8). There my excitement had risen to the highest and as if in a feverish delirium I called out loudly to myself in front of this altar the solemn vow: “When I am once grown up, I will build a Wuotan temple!” I was laughed at, of course, and several companions said that a child did not belong in such a place, and so on. Of course, all of them, these good people, did not grasp what had happened in my child soul, could not grasp it, and even to me it is difficult to explain today.”
However, as the eldest child, Guido was expected to follow in his father's footsteps as a businessman and to disregard his artistic and mystical leanings. Von List was a good son and fulfilled his responsibilities in a dutiful manner but would take any and all opportunities to develop his more intense mystical and naturesque interests. The trips that List would have to make for the business would provide him with the opportunity to indulge his passion for hiking and mountaineering. These activities seem to have provided a matrix for his early mysticism as he would write on the landscape in a mystical fashion.
Tragedy would strike as Guido von List’s father would die in the year 1877, when Guido was at the age of 29. Without his father’s keen sense of business, which neither he nor his mother possessed, economic times became difficult with Guido von List quiting the family business to devote himself completely to his writing, at this time still of a journalistic nature. Guido von List proceeded to wroie articles for newspapers, such as the 'Neue Welt' (New World), 'Neue deutsche Alpenzeitung (New German Alpine Newspaper), Heimat (Homeland), and the Deutsche Zeitung' (German Newspaper), which dealt with his earlier travels and mystical reflections on the Loci (land spirits). Many of these written newspaper articles were anthologised in 1891 in his famous 'Deutsch-Mythologische Landschaftsbilder'. He would also write articles which appeared in the 'Leipziger Illustrierte Zeitung' and on a regular basis in the newspaper 'Ostdeutsche Rundschau' (East German Review), owned by the powerful publicist and parliamentary deputy Karl Heinrich Wolf.
In 1871, List's writing talents were given full rein as he became a correspondent of the 'Neue deutsche Alpenzeitung' ("New German Alpine Newspaper"), later called the 'Salonblatt'. He also began to edit the yearbook of the 'Österreichischer Alpenverein' (Austrian Alpine Association), of which he became secretary in that year.
List was an ardent, enthusiastic mountaineer and hiker, but Guido von came very close to losing his life. While climbing a mountain on May 8, 1871 in the Großes Höllental (Larger Valley of Hell) leading up to the Rax mountain in Lower Austria, a mass of ice gave way under his feet and he fell some distance. He was apparently saved only by the fact that he had landed on a soft surface covered by a recent snowfall. In memory of his good luck and to help others, at his own expense List had the track equipped with a chain put up and officially opened by him on June 21, 1871. It was also named after him the "Guido-List-Steig"
On June 24, 1875 he was camping with four friends near the ruins of Carnuntum. As the 1500th anniversary of the Germanic tribes defeat over this Roman garrison in 375, the evening carried a lot of weight for List. 'Carnuntum' became the title of List's first full-length novel, published in two volumes in 1888. After its success, it was followed by two more books set in tribal Germany; Jung Diether's Heimkehr (Young Diether's Homecoming, 1894) and Pipara (1895). These books led to List being celebrated by the pan-German movement.
In 1878 List married his first wife, Helene Föster-Peters. However, the marriage was not to last through this difficult period. Through the years 1877–1887 List was also working on his first book-length (two-volume) effort, Carnuntum, an historical novel based on his vision of the Kulturkampf between the Germanic and Roman worlds centred at Carnuntum around the year 375 CE that was published in 1888 by the Wannieck family's organisation and publishing house Verein "Deutsche Haus" ("German House" Association) in Brno, where List made the acquaintance of the industrialist Friedrich Wannieck. This association was to prove essential to List's future development.
Throughout this period in List's life he devoted himself to writing more neo-romantic prose, such as Jung Diethers Heimkehr ("Young Diether's Homecoming") in 1894 and Pipara in 1895. An anthology of his earlier journalism Deutsch-Mythologische Landschaftsbilder was published in 1891, and List developed his writing skills in poetic and dramatic genres as well.
In 1892 he delivered a lecture on the ancient Germanic cult of Wotan to the Verein Deutsche Geschichte (German History Association), and it is said that numerous other associations allied with this one proliferated in Austria at this time. Another group, the Bund der Germanen (Germanic League), sponsored a performance of List's mythological dramatic poem, 'Der Wala Erweckung' ("The Wala's Awakening") in 1894. In another performance of this drama in 1895, which was attended by over three thousand people, the part of Wala was read by Anna Wittek von Stecky, a young actress who in August 1899 became List's second wife.
During the years 1888–1899 List was involved with two important literary associations. In May 1891 Iduna, which had the descriptive subtitle of "Free German Society for Literature", was founded by a circle of writers around Fritz Lemmermayer. Lemmermayer acted as a sort of "middle man" between an older generation of authors (which included Fercher von Steinwand, Joseph Tandler, Auguste Hyrtl, Ludwig von Mertens, and Josephone von Knorr) and a group of younger writers and thinkers (which included Rudolf Steiner, Marie Eugenie delle Grazie, and Karl Maria Heidt). The name Iduna was provided by List himself and is that of a North Germanic goddess of eternal youth and renewal.
Richard von Kralik and Joseph Kalasanz Poestion, authors with specifically neo-Germanic leanings, were also involved in the circle. The other organisation List was involved with was the Literarische Donaugesellschaft (Danubian Literary Society), which was founded by List and Fanny Wschiansky the year the Iduna was dissolved in 1893. At this time List met Rudolf Steiner and Lanz von Liebenfels but his association with Liebenfels did not develop until Lanz had left the Heiligenkreuz monastery in 1899.
Between 1903 and 1907 he began using the noble title von on occasion, before finally settling on it permanently in 1907. As this was only permitted for members of the aristocracy, he was put before an official enquiry. Here he produced evidence supporting his tenuous claim, which was accepted by the officials heading the inquiry, however, there is no extant evidence demonstrating independently verifiable proof of direct lineal descent from a noble family for the Lists.
In 1908, the Guido von List Society (Guido-von-List-Gesellschaft) was founded primarily by the Wannieck family, with Friedrich Wannieck and his son Friedrich Oskar Wannieck being prominent and enthusiastic Armanists, as an occult völkisch organisation, which had the purpose of financing and publishing List's research. The List Society was supported by many leading figures in Austrian and German politics, publishing, and occultism. This group also attracted many members of various other occult branches, such as Franz Hartmann, a man born 22 November 1838, died 7 August 1912. This man is the direct connection between the Theosophical society and the Guido von List Society as Hartmann was an associate of Helena Blavatsky and was also Chairman of the Board of Control of the Theosophical Society Adyar. He was an early supporter of the von List Society. More shockingly is that Hartmann (according to Theodor Reuss) was a founding member of what would become known as the Ordo Templi Orientis, which Crowley would belong to.
During the final stages of World War I the naval blockade of the Central Powers created food shortages in Vienna which would contribute to the poor health in the now seventy year old von List. In the spring of 1919 he set off to recuperate in Brandenburg, Germany, but his health deteriorated quickly and he died of pneumonia in Berlin on May 17th within a few months after the end of WW1 whilst on a visit to his followers in Berlin. He was cremated in Leipzig and his urn then buried in Vienna Central Cemetery, Zentralfriedhof, on the 8th of October 1919 in the gravesite KNLH 413 - Vienna's largest and most famous cemetery (including the graves of Beethoven, Brahms, Schubert and Strauss.) in Vienna's 11th district of Simmering.
Philipp Stauff, one of the founders of the Germanenorden, wrote an obituary which appeared in the Münchener Beobachter. Guido von List was strongly influenced by the Theosophical thought of Madame Blavatsky, which he blended with his own racial religious beliefs, founded upon Germanic paganism. List called his doctrine “Armanism” (after the Armanen, supposedly the heirs of the sun-king, a body of priest-kings in the ancient Ario-Germanic nation). Armanism was concerned with the esoteric doctrines of the gnosis (distinct from the exoteric doctrine intended for the lower social classes, Wotanism). List claimed that the tribal name Herminones mentioned in Tacitus was a Latinized version of the German Armanen, and named his religion the Armanenschaft, which he claimed to be the original religion of the Germanic tribes. His conception of that religion was a form of sun worship, with its priest-kings (similar to the Icelandic goði) as legendary rulers of ancient Germany. However, there was another Ariosophist who would contribute to the rise of the NSDAP, Liebenfels.
Liebenfels
Lanz von Liebenfels (July 19, 1874 – April 22, 1954) was an Austrian occultist, former Cistercian monk and founder of the Ariosophy movement. Lanz von Liebenfels was a friend of student of Guido von List, and helped found the "Guido-von-List-Gesellschaft" (Guido von List society) in 1905, and in 1907 he founded the "Ordo novi templi" (Order of the New Templars). He published the magazine 'Ostara, Briefbücherei der Blonden und Mannesrechtler' from 1905 till 1930.Liebenfels was born on July 19, 1874 in the Penzing district of Vienna in what was then Austria-Hungary, as the son of schoolmaster Johann Lanz and his wife Katharina, née Hoffenreich. His parents were middle class, and his fathers ancestors had been burghers in Vienna since the early 18th century. Lanz became a monk in the Cistercian order in 1893, assuming the name Georg, and living in the Heiligenkreuz monastery (see right). In 1894, he claimed to have been "enlightened" after finding the tombstone of a Knight Templar, and began developing his theories of "blond aryanism" and the "lower races". He left the monastery in 1899; with Lanz claimed that this was due to "growing nervousness".
Liebenfels and his work in Ostara and Theozoology would go on to heavily influence the esoteric side of the NSDAP, as Führer Hitler did meet Liebenfels as a young man. In 1903–4 von Liebenfels published a lengthy article under the Latin title 'Anthropozoon Biblicum' ("The Biblical Man-Animal") in a journal for Biblical studies. Liebenfels undertook a comparative survey of ancient Near Eastern cultures, in which he detected evidence from iconography and literature that seemed to point to the continued survival, into early historical times, of hominid 'ape-men' similar to the dwarfish Neanderthal men known from fossil remains in Europe, or the Pithecanthropus (now called Homo erectus) from Java. Furthermore, Liebenfels systematically analyzed the Old Testament in the light of his hypothesis, identifying and interpreting coded references to the 'ape-men' which substantiated an illicit practice of interbreeding between humans and "lower" species in antiquity. Liebenfels expanded and codified his research in the year 1905 into a fundamental statement of doctrine titled 'Theozoologie oder die Kunde von den Sodoms-Äfflingen und dem Götter-Elektron' - (Theozoology, or the Science of the Sodomite-Apelings and the Divine Electron).
In the Ostara series, Liebenfels would describe the origins of the Aryan’s as he understands it.Liebenfels believed that the Aryans were derived from Theozoa, divine beings not from this planet who are hermaphroditic in nature. This is something that Karl WIligut would also affirm in his later document, which was read by ReichsFuhrer-SS Himmler, that was titled as “Description of the Evolution of Humanity”;
"1st Human Epoch: “Aethar-beings,” (beings composed of elemental air) found themselves in constant struggle with the “water-beings” (water elemental beings) taking shape in the same period, were genderless and planted themselves as 'Hymir-born' (a Jötunn) — initially called Kymir, later called Angles or Angels — by means of “the concentration of their will,” in order, at a later time, to gain “spiritual” union with the water - beings which were developing with the same mode of propagation."
Liebenfels would state that through race mixing of the divine Theozoa race with lower entities would result in the Anthropozoa or the beast-men. Liebenfels doctrine is seen by some as one of the earliest instances of a possible extraterrestrial origin, in a racialist context, which would go on to influence Karl Wiligut and Miguel Serrano.
More importantly, only 4 years after the publication of Theozoolgy, a young Führer Hitler would meet with Liebenfels as he desired to have copies of the Ostara magazine that he did not posses at that time.
Liebenfels would go on to be suppressed even though he had a connection with Karl Wiligut who was an SS-Man at this time, serving under Reichsführer-SS Himmler with concern to esotericism and eventually drawing Otto Rahn into the SS as well. Karl Wiligut had connections to Liebenfels as Wiligut was in contact with the Ordo Novi Templi, Libenfels organization. This is to show the level of influence and the exchange of ideas that were going on, as there is indeed tangible evidence that the NSDAP was directly influenced by the works of both von List and Liebenfels. More importantly, the idea of Aryans being descended from beings who are not of this world is seen as an early instance of the Nordic Aliens idea, which would take the more familiar form of the Aldebarans. Some suggest that the Aldebarans are being back dated over the idea of the Theozoa but others point to statements made by both Führer Hitler and Reichsführer-SS Himmler. Führer Hitler would state;
"Once knowledge about the universe spreads, once the majority of people become aware that the stars are not luminous bodies but worlds, possibly inhabited worlds like ours, then the teachings of Christianity will be completely rendered absurd.”
"From a material point of view, the universe is made up of the same substances, whether it is the earth, the sun or other stars. It is now impossible to imagine that organic life exists on just one of these worlds!"
According to Michael H. Kater in his book, Das Ahnenerbe der SS 1935-1945, Reichsführer-SS Himmler believed the Aryans were not from this planet;
"[Himmler] repeatedly said that the Aryans were not descended from apes like the rest of mankind, but descended from "heaven" to earth like gods. Before they were born on earth, however, they were preserved as living germs in the "eternal" ice of space. These heavenly Germanic ancestors, according to Himmler, had also possessed supernatural powers and knowledge."
This is backed up by a statement from SS-Sturmbannführer Ernst Schäfer, who was the leader of the Ahnenerbe Tibet expedition;
“Himmler mentioned his belief that the Nordic race did not evolve, but came directly down from heaven to settle on the Atlantic continent."
While there is a mystical tone to Reichsführer-SS Himmler’s statement, one must remember that he was also interested in Hanns Hörbiger’s Welteislehre, he was not only interested in the occult or mystical.
Returning to Liebenfels, in 1915 he began to look into contemporary German astrology and studied and reviewed numerous current astrological and prophetic writings. He would become particularly interested in the works of astrologers Otto Pöllner and Ernst Tiede. This research would eventually result in Liebenfel developing his own "racial metaphysical" astrology. In his astrology system, Liebenfels assigned a planet and a zodiac sign to all major countries which he based off of ariosophy so as to be in accordance with that specific culture and "spirit" of the race of the respective country. On this basis, he then interpreted the current course of the First European Civil War and, in combination with his own interpretations of the prophecies of Joachim of Fiore , made predictions about the outcome of the war. Finally, he turned to prophecy and described a time of "messianic birth pangs" that would follow the war and which would ultimately lead to the climax of demonic dominance on earth through increasing racial mixing and further wars. Liebenfels foresaw a Mongol invasion of Europe between 1960 and 1988 which is similar to Wiligut foreseeing a time when Asia would wage a massive war against Europe. According to Wiligut, the Wewelsburg castle would be a bastion against the Asiatic horde which is one reason why Reichsführer-SS Himmler acquired the castle. Lanz linked this war to the millenarian vision that after this time of humanity's hardest test, a new Church of the Holy Spirit and a supranational Aryan state would be established in which a wise priesthood would rule. He named Vienna as the starting point for this “new world order”.
Once the First European Civil War was over however, Liebenfels would emigrate to Hungary after the collapse of the Autro-Hungarian Empire. Libenfels would state later that he took part in the resistance against Béla Kun’s short-lived communist Soviet Republic of Hungary and was almost executed for it. This experience caused Liebenfels hatred for the jews to sky rocket, to the point of developing a persecution mania. Though he had been against the jews before this, he now saw them as the chief architects behind the fall of the blonde Aryan-heroic race from a position of dominance.
Libenfels would release a book, Weltende und Weltwende, in 1923 in which he would describe a world conspiracy of Jews, socialists and freemasons that he focused his further publications and anti-Semitism on as fighting this would become the core of his program. During this time he would go on to praise the dictatorships in Spain, Italy, and Hungary as harbingers of the coming global transformation which he believed he had prophesied.
In 1925, Libenfels presented a summary of his teachings in an outline of the ariosophical secret doctrine. He made extensive use of esoteric disciplines such as palmistry, astrology, esoteric heraldry, and a kabbalistic interpretation of names and numerical symbolism to demonstrate the alleged differences between the blond and the dark races. In this context, he particularly drew on Guido von List. Likewise in the late 1920s, Lanz further developed his astrological teachings on the basis of the Platonic world year and used this as a basis for interpreting the political and religious development of Europe.
From 1925 to 1933, Lanz worked together with Herbert Reichstein as an editor of ariosophical writings. In addition, he would give courses, public lectures, and continued to lead his order. In 1926, he acquired the ruins of the 13th-century church of Szent Balázs in Balatoncsicsó on the northern shore of Lake Balaton , which he expanded into the Marienkamp Priory and also used as a summer residence.
In 1933, Lanz left Hungary and went to Lucerne, Switzerland, where he subsequently wrote numerous texts that were intended only for internal use within the order. Once the NSDAP took power, Liebenfels would then claim to have been one of Adolf Hitler's key thinkers and a "pioneer of National Socialism ". However, he never received the desired recognition and in the NSDAP state, Liebenfels was prevented from publishing any further works.
Liebenfels was deeply offended by this disregard, however would continue until his death to portray himself as the man "who gave Hitler his ideas". Neither the collapse of Hitler’s German nor the influence of his relatives dissuaded him from continuing to claim this. From 1947 to 1952, he reactivated his order, which had been dissolved by the National Socialists, on a small scale and also brought out a few publications.
Liebenfels died on the 22ndof April, 1954, in Vienna.
Ariosophy and Hitler’s Germany
Some have tried to separate the more mystical or occult or esoteric doctrines from the NSDAP, suggesting that instead of a deep spiritual movement it was noting but a materialist or political movement which is incredibly wrong. There are a number of beliefs which are either outright the same or are obvious parallels, even in purely political writings or laws there is a reflection of this occult, mystical, esoteric belief.
The most obvious are the statements made by Fuhrer Hitler and Riechsfuhrer-SS Himmler with concern to the origin of the Aryan race and to possible life on other worlds. Given that this belief, in higher beings who descend onto this planet from “the heavens”, goes back to the Theosophists where it is then translated into a racial form with Guido von List and Jörg Lanz von Liebenfels, this is an obvious parallel or direct connection seeing as Führer Hitler himself met Liebenfels and read Ostara.
The most obvious form of influence with concern to Ariosophy and the NSDAP would be Karl Wiligut, who had direct connections to the Ordo Novi Templi of Liebenfels. Wiligut would join the SS and served as a mystic for Reichsfuhrer-SS Himmler and although Wiligut would persecute some occulsts before Action Hess, this was on the basis of forming a clear esoteric doctrine for the Reich. Of note however should be the fact that Liebenfels becoming interested in Astrology is fascinating as both Rudolf Hess and Reichsführer-SS Himmler would also become extremely interested in Astrology.
Both von List and Liebenfels praise priestesses and priestess lead organizations, starting with von List;
"That the Aryo-Germanic priestess took such a prominent role, almost overshadowing the male priesthood, finds its explanation in the fact that no other people on earth accorded such high reverence to women as the Aryo-Germans."
Then, Liebenfels;
"...among the Germans the wise women (Valkyries, blessed maidens) were held in such high esteem, is, for me, further proof of the former existence of Amazons."
This is reflected not only in Wirth’s writings, he would use the idea of Burgmaidens, Wiligut would also construct a female mystical society in his article, Maidenschaft in the Pre-Historic Aryo-Germanic Age;
“The organization of this corps of burgmaidens (Berg-Maidenschaft, whereby “berg” means “the concealed”) clearly indicates clues in this direction when we look at its construction. The corps of maidens was organized in four groups, which are: The lowest group, the HEXAS [witches], had as their duty the care and preservation of the eternal flame and its kindling for purposes of signaling (by day with smoke, by night with a bright flame). Fire was fetched from these women as a part of certain ceremonies or ritual customs (Ara- Ryta) for the lighting the hearth-fire of newly married couples. As a part of land-taking or new settlement ceremonies, or when perhaps the hearth-fire had gone out, fire was kindled from live coals from these eternal fires. The Hexas were initiated into herbology and the arts of animal-healing and served as animal-healers in some tribes and communities in addition to their service relevant to the fire. The DRUDAS, however, provided service as “Wise Women.” They were counselors (in all affairs having to do with love and marriage) and midwives. Additionally, they provided service as healers of human beings. To this belonged not only knowledge of surgery, but also knowledge of herbs with the power to heal the human body. Therefore they had to have a considerable amount of knowledge about herbs at their disposal. Those belonging to the third group, the WALAS, not only had to possess the knowledge of the previous two groups, but were also in charge of the Maidenschaft which was self- contained and lived separate from all other tribes. Additionally, they had the assignment of being counselors in all sorts of matters having to do with the well-being or suffering of the whole tribe. For this reason they had to have at their disposal meaningful historical data about the tribe and its individual clans, and had to know their characteristics by reason of this knowledge precisely. From this they drew logical conclusions as to how the tribe was to act in certain important events. Therefore from a knowledge of the history of the characteristics of the clans and a knowledge of the past of the tribe the concept of prophecy [Hell-sehen] as well as necromancy [Hel-sehen] was developed.”
This isn’t the end of the fascination that the NSDAP would have with mystical female societies, as Reichsführer-SS Himmler would make several statements praising witches over the men of our race as they kept the knowledge of our racial spirituality long after the men had surrendered;
"The greatest sacrifices in the witch and heretic trials were made by German women and not by men. The clerics knew very well why they burnt 5000 - 6000 women because they were emotionally loyal to the old knowledge and the old doctrine and emotionally and instinctively were not prepared to abandon it, whereas the men, on the basis of logical thinking, had already come to terms with the fact; there’s no point any more. We’ve been politically defeated. I give in... I’ll let myself be baptized."
Richard Darré, the chief ideologist of the blood and soil in Hitler’s Germany, would state this;
"The Jewish desecration of the German woman corresponds to the ecclesiastical persecutions of witches; both have a common spiritual father: Yahweh!"
More connections to Liebenfels as he would propose, in Ostara, the idea of Christ-Baldur which appears again in the writings of Wiligut. Wiligut describes and ancient conflict in a mythical German past between true positive “Irminists”, followers of Krist, and evil “Wotanists”. This war would go on for centuries and an Irminist prophet called Baldur-Chrestos was crucified (although he managed to escape) by the Wotanists in Goslar, Germany where he believed that the original Bible was written. This idea of a “Christos” that is connected to Baldur, a god of light, would also be understood as Lucifer, Apollo, and Prometheus. Führer Hitler states in his 1920 speech, “Why are we Antisemites?”, this;
"...in these cold stretches man was forced to seek a substitute for the only gift of heaven that makes life possible, the sun, and the man who first artificially produced the spark later appeared to mankind as a god: Prometheus, the fire-bringer..."
Führer Hitler would also say in Mein Kampf;
"[The Aryan] is the Prometheus of mankind from whose bright forehead the divine spark of genius has sprung at all times, forever kindling anew that fire of knowledge which illumined the night of silent mysteries and thus caused man to climb the path to mastery over the other beings of this earth."
Wirth in the Ura Linda Chronik firmly states that Apollo is Baldur;
"Apollo, Apulu, Aplu is not a Hellenic, but a [Frisian-Saxon] deity. ~ The same god's name is documented as Phol-, Pfol-, Old High German: Phol-Balder of the Merseburg magic spells"
And finally, Otto Rahn, who was recruited by Wiligut personally into the SS, would state this;
"As innumerable examples of [the Troubadours] poems show, they sang of the wonders of a stone that fell from Lucifer’s crown—thus, if we use the language of the Bible, the “crown of eternal life” could be construed to be Luciferian, and if we spin the thread further, God-Amor seems to be the incarnation of Lucifer. This becomes certain if we tie the thread differently: God-Amor is the god of springtime, and Apollo is this god. Therefore, both Amor and Apollo are the god of the spring."
Furthermore, Lucifer was understood as an Aryan god of light, with Rahn giving lectures to the SS on this. Eric Kurlander presents this in his work, Hitler's Monsters;
"Himmler subsequently encouraged Rahn to give lectures within the SS regarding Lucifer’s role as the bringer of enlightenment and enemy of the Jewish God."
This symbolism of a deity of light or a lightbringer is again reflected in the very symbol of the swastika, as this symbol is from Hyperborea, from the North. The symbol of the circular swastika is the symbol of the sun but also of the Big Dipper/Great Bear in the four phases of revolution around the pole star. German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann brought forward hundreds of ancient artifacts decorated with the symbol of the swastika. Schliemann hailed the “swastika” as a “religious symbols of the very greatest importance among the early progenitors of the Aryan races in Bactria and in the villages of the Oxus, at a time when Germans, Indians, Pelasgians, Celts, Persians, Slavonians and Iranians still formed one nation and spoke one language.”To Schliemann, the swastika was “the most sacred symbols of our Aryan forefathers.” Schliemann was reintroducing the swastika at the time of the founding of the Theosophical society, obviously further transmission of esoteric ideas into down the chain into the NSDAP.
Returning to purely the connections between von List or Liebenfels and the NSDAP, von List would state in his book, The Armanenschaft of the Ario-Germans, with concern to marriage this;
“It is deeply regrettable that the old Armanen nobility, which by birthright ought to lead its people, has sunk to the level of satraps of this party, either through its Jesuitism or its financial dependence on plutocracy, through marriages with Jewish women, or through mortgages and ordinary debts. ~ In the future, paper qualifications from middle or higher schools should no longer be the determining factor for obtaining foundation positions, support, or important and well-paid positions in public service, courts, universities, etc. Instead, the racial assessment of the applicant's belonging to the Aryan race of German descent must be decisive. Prizes will and must be awarded for Aryan-Germanic racial purity, marriage facilitations for racially pure couples, and other measures that facilitate and promote racial purity must be granted, while marriages between the noble race and inferior races must be prevented at all costs.”
This is reflected in the Nuremberg Laws, as article 1 states;
“Marriages between Jews and citizens of German or related blood are forbidden. Marriages nevertheless concluded are invalid, even if concluded abroad to circumvent this law.”
However, the NSDAP would not stop there, as the very next article, article 2, states this;
“Extramarital relations between Jews and citizens of German or related blood are forbidden.”
Article 6 lists out the punishments for breaking these laws;
“1. Any person who violates the prohibition under Article 1 will be punished with a prison sentence with hard labour.
2. A male who violates the prohibition under Article 2 will be punished with a jail term or a prison sentence with hard labour.
3. Any person violating the provisions under Articles 3 or 4 will be punished with a jail term of up to one year and a fine, or with one or the other of these penalties.”
Von List would also go onto state that Wodanism “grew out of the intuitive recognition of evolutionary laws in natural life, out of the ‘primal laws of nature.’ . . . It set for itself the final goal of bringing into being a noble race, whose destiny it was to be to educate itself and the rest of humanity to the actual task of human beings.”This is very similar to several statements made by Führer Hitler about nature as recorded in Monologe Im Führerhauptquartier 1941– 1944;
“I believe that whoever looks at nature with open eyes becomes the most pious person; not in the sense of church piety, but in the sense of inner self-reflection. ~ In what Bolshevism has made of people, one can see that reverence must be at the beginning of all education: reverence for Providence, the Unfathomable, Nature—or whatever one chooses to call it—starting with the reverence that youth should show to age. ~ The migration of peoples started from the East; from now on, the peoples are flooding back from the West to the East. This corresponds to the principle of nature, allowing it to constantly renew through struggle for selection: The law of existence demands continuous killing so that the better may live. ~ Inner contemplation can take place consciously through immersion in nature or through the study of history. ~ Nature knows no land surveys and no notaries. Heaven knows only strength. ~ Nature creates a being and gives it everything necessary for life. If it still cannot live, it is either because it is threatened from the outside or because its internal resilience has diminished.”
Von List would also detail his thoughts about reincarnation and christianity. Von List condemned Christianity for inhibiting the progress of evolution through the denial of reincarnation and for divorcing the spiritual aspects of life from the material. To von List, this lead directly to the destruction of “the noble race as well as its heroism in the spiritual and physical realms, and in its place breed a population of slaves.” This is also something that Reichsführer-SS Himmler would agree with, as he believed in reincarnation, stating in a letter to Eckhardt, 25-2-1937; “Avoid the term "transmigration of souls", but rather "rebirth in the clan, in one's own blood".” The Kersten memoirs, 1940-1945 would also contain Reichsführer-SS Himmler’s thoughts on reincarnation;
“...But the idea of reincarnation in a larger family proves that the Germanic peoples did believe in reincarnation and made it a part of their religion. Nor am I alone in my belief in reincarnation. A number of great men have shared it.”
Von List also focused on education, which he believed should be reoriented towards the “awakening of the spirit of the folk,” through discarding “foreign and unnationalistic elements.” Von List hoped for a revival of the Armanenschaft which would serve as an order of initiates that would rule the new Germany, this is clearly seen in Reichsführer-SS Himmler’s conception of the SS as the masters of the millennial Reich. Felix Kersten, the personal physical therapist of Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler, would relay Reichsführer-SS Himmler’s thoughts on the OrdenStaat-SS Burgund;
"Specialists and advisers could be taken from the European SS, should the Chancellor consider that necessary. These SS Leaders would then acquire Burgundian nationality as well as their own. The aim was to turn Burgundy into a model state, an example to all the other countries in the world."
However, von List would go further, as he prophesied that an initiatic order would rise and would be adorned with runes, the SS obvious taking inspiration as they wore the double sig-rune on the collars of their uniform’s and had runes were on the Waffen-SS unit shields.
List extolled a set of values that included loyalty, fairness, sacrifice, friendship and freedom while condemning what he called “vain egotism” and those who “try to become conspicuous with empty appearances.” This is strikingly similar to the values of the SS, as Reichsführer-SS Himmler extolled loyalty and obedience above all else. Not only this but von List also praises peasants, which were likewise extolled by Reichsführer-SS Himmler and Richard Darré. Here is a passage from von List, The Armanenschaft of the Ario Germans;
“The "Ing-fo-onen," or the farming class, comprised the entire people as a whole. Every Ing-fo-one, whether a farmer or a commoner, had to be steadfast in landholding in order to nourish themselves from the soil. Land and soil were inalienable and neither personal property nor royal possession but were taken as a symbol of divinity (Ur) from the sun and held in trust for the family (clan), managed by the family head on behalf of the tribe. All family members were beneficiaries and protectors of this property, standing under the patriarchal leadership of the family head, without being servants themselves.”
Führer Hitler would have this to say of the peasants, a quote that draws a direct connection between the peasantry and warrior ethos;
“What was usefully Germanized in history was the land that our ancestors conquered with the sword and colonized by German peasants."
Richard Darré would write a lengthy text covering how the Nordic race had the peasantry as the nucleus, the germination, of the race. He would say this on the peasantry;
“The National Socialist agrarian legislation serves both tasks, a down-to-earth economy and a land law affirming the peasantry.”
“I want all my peasant leaders to enter the SS. We shall breed the new aristocracy from the human reserves of the SS.”
“The respect for the woman, which is familiar to the Nordic race from its peasant and racial heritage - perhaps not so much for the woman as for the inheritance of its own noble perfection preserved in the woman - has never been grasped by other races and, consequently, without knowledge of the connections, could never have been grasped.”
I will now present a few statements made by Reichsführer-SS Himmler;
"The main enemy of the peasantry is the international Jewish capital, which incites the inhabitants of cities against the rural worker"
"I can assure you that it is no coincidence that the reich peasant leader of the german reich has belonged to the SS for years and as an obergruppenführer is chief of this race and settlement main office. It is also no coincidence that I am a peasant and that I belong to the Reich peasant council. Neither peasants nor SS-men belong to the type of people who superfluously say a lot of nice words. It can be plainly and clearly said that, as it was in the past, so will it remain in the future. Where Adolf Hitler’s peasants stand, they will always have the schutzstaffel at their side as their most faithful friend. likewise we know that where Adolf Hitler’s schutzstaffel stands, the German peasant stands at its side as best comrade and friend.”
“[Führer Hitler] has set us the goal for our generation to be a new beginning — he wants us to return to the source of the blood, to root us again in the soil — he seeks again for strength from sources which have been buried for 2,000 years…”
As I know that some will not find this to be proof enough, pagan rituals were indeed carried out at the Castle Wewelsburg. Reichsführer-SS Himmler had Karl Wolff conduct a pagan name-giving ceremony on January 4, 1937, with Weisthor/Wiligut inscribed as his son's Godfather. This was an Irministic 'baptism' of Wolff's eldest son Thorisman attended by SS dignitaries Reinhard Heydrich and Karl Diebitsch, meaning that pagan rituals indeed went on within the SS, further showing the occult, esoteric, and pagan nature of the SS as a whole.
Some Liebenfels quotes also point towards a racial spiritualism, though Liebenfels dressed it up in a pseudo-christian language and aesthetic there is a definitive divergence from christianity and towards the occult or pagan nature. Specifically focusing on this;
"The socialist-Bolshevik subhuman race has betrayed our trust. Fine, let's cancel charity and "humanity" for them. They want class struggle; let them have racial struggle, racial struggle from our side with the castration knife!
Religions will experience a renaissance that no one today can yet imagine, and this renaissance will emerge from the "occult" sciences, mysticism, romanticism, and the mediumistic realm, as well as from secret societies and mystical religious orders."
When it came to healthy German women, abortion was indeed banned harshly, to the point that if a woman was convicted of infanticide then she could face the death penalty. However, when it came to non-Germans, such as the Ostarbeiter, there would be forced abortions. Not only that but the Reich did sterilize people, such as; homosexuals and/or trannies, the epileptic, schizophrenics, those with bipolar disorder, those suffering from Cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy, and for the deaf and/or blind. Another group that was targeted within the controlled territory of Germany was the Rheinlandbastarde, this population was the result of French colonial troops, Africans, who raped hundreds of women. The Rheinlandbastarde were Afro-Germans who were rounded up and promptly sterilized once Führer Hitler had taken the reigns of power.
This is to show the deep connections that the NSDAP had to the Wuotanist of von List and to the teachings of Liebenfels. Though not everything that either men said or wrote is completely agreeable, they most certainly had a direct impact on the formation of the NSDAP which can be seen in the Thule-Gesellschaft. There are direct connections between the Ariosophists and the Thule-Gesellschaft which are explored in the next section, however, I will leave this section with two quotes from Liebenfels;
"Nature is aristocratic! The blonde Aryan-heroic race has fought for all cultural values over hundreds of thousands of years, created all means of production alone, and all capital is their property."
The blonde Aryan-heroic race is the intellectually and ethically highest standing race; it is the culture-creating and culture-sustaining race. Due to its harmonious body and skull structure, it is equally suited for intellectual and physical work. It is distinguished above all by its inventive spirit, innate high moral sense, and sense of beauty, and therefore represents the ideal of humanity in physical, psychological, ethical, and aesthetic respects. The blonde Aryan-heroic race is the race of great geniuses and intellectual heroes, the great priests, warriors, and colonizers of humanity. The whole world history knows only blonde heroic geniuses and not a single true dark Mediterranean, Mongoloid, Negroid, or primitive genius!"
The Thule-Gesellschaft
"They did not die because they harbored any hatred for these Volksgenossen, but merely because of their love for Germany. Because they refused to believe that a free and honorable Germany had come to an end, because they wanted to devote themselves to the future of this German Volk; that is why they were shot, stabbed, murdered by mad, blind people! ...
These hundreds who were murdered back then in their drive to help Germany and to save Germany have now been joined by eleven Volksgenossen, ten men and one woman, who consciously supported a new idea, who had never harmed a single opponent, who knew but one ideal, the ideal of a new and purified, better Volksgemeinschaft: the members of the Thule Society. They were savagely slaughtered in Munich as hostages. We know who the principals are. They too were members of this disastrous power which was and continues to be responsible for the fratricide in our Volk."
Adolf Hitler, speech in Schwerin February 12, 1936, called the fallen Thule Society members heroic martyrs.
"This is an association for the elite breeding of the German race."
Rudolf von Sebottendorff
This is the final connection that bridges the NSDAP and the preceeding occult movements. The world had experienced turmoil by the time the Thule-Gesellschaft formed, the First European Civil war had ended and various communists revolts had sprung up. Shell-shocked German troops came home after such a horrific ordeal of fighting in the trenches and suffering a defeat, only to find their country, their fatherland, in complete chaos and hunger on the streets. It was here that after the war, the democratic regimes would come to symbolize, to the völkisch mind, Jewish control. The protest that was against economic, political, and social difficulties would become an 'anti-Jewish revolution'.
As the First ECW was coming to a close. a twenty-six-year-old art student would be discharged from the German Army due to wounds received on the Western Front. This man was Walter Nauhaus, leader of the Germanic Order of the Holy Grail and co-founder, with Rudolf von Sebottendorff, of the Thule-Gesellschaft. Nauhaus was an ambitious young artist who had developed a deep passion for pan-Germanic ideology, reading any literature he could find on the history and mythology of the Teutonic people. Shortly after Nauhaus arrived in Munich in late 1917, he co-founded a working group that sought to cast down the mailase of his era and restore Germany to a place of greatness. The group adopted an elaborate array of occult ideas, including ariosophic racism and esoteric symbols such as the swastika. The fact that the Thule-Gesellschaft was a splinter branch of the Germanenorden which was founded by Theodor Fritsch but, importantly, had Philipp Stauff as a member is extremely important. Philipp Stauff was an enthusiastic Armanist, a close friend of Guido von List, and a founding member of the Guido von List Society, which again is another tie that the Ariosophists have to the NSDAP.
Sebottendorff had authored volumes of memoirs, fiction, astrology, and Theosophy. Sebottendorff was one of the principal transmitter to National Socialism of the mysticism of Guido von List and of Ariosophy, but Dietrich Eckart also provides several more connections back to the Guido von List society.
Starting with Sebottendorff, he came into contact with the Germanenorden in 1916 and would go on to become the Ordensmeister of the Bavarian division, this same division becomes the Thule-Gesellschaft. Sebottendorff is an occultist, a freemason, as he was initiated by the patriarch of the Termudi family (Jews from Thessaloniki), who would bequeathed his library of occult, Kabbalistic, Rosicrucian and Sufi texts to Sebottendorff. Sebottendorff would settle in Munich where he would co-found the Thule-Gesellschaft. This connection to the Germanenorden in this context is rather stark as the members of the Germanenorden had to prove that they, nor their wife, were jewish. An oath was to be taken confirming this as well which would also be used by the Thule-Gesellschaft.
"no Jewish or colored blood flows in either his or in his wife's veins, and that among their ancestors are no members of the colored races."
Although Sebottendorff did associate with the patriarch of the Termudi family (Jews from Thessaloniki), and with Freemasonry, he was at least a full blooded aryan. Only a year after coming to Munich, in September of 1917, Baron Von Sebottendorff would met with leaders and members of the mysterious “Lords of the Black Stone” fraternity in the Untersberg to receive the power of the ‘Black-Purple Stone’ after which the secret society was named.
The “Lords of the Black Stone”, or the DHvSS, was established by a knight named Hubertus, who took part in knightly campaigns, created a group of other knights and loyal subjects around himself and associated them with the Order of the Templars. The credo of Hubertus and his company was the worship of the "Goddess Isais" who revealed herself to Hubertus at the Untersberg. Hubertus received both the gifts of Isais and the Revelation of Isais. Isais's most important gift, the magic stone, is what the knights' company would name themselves after, however, it would not be officially used. The DHvSS arose around 1220 and the last concrete traces of the Union are recognized in 1438.
The DHvSS however, not only a male society, as women where allowed to join it, showing just how far from typical christian doctrine this group of knights had strayed. They fully embraced the worship of Isais, and this does point to a possible use of tantra which would later be missunderstood as satanism in the case of the Templars.
In 1925, the "Archivgemeinschaft DHvSS" (Archive Society of the Knights of the Black Stone) was founded in Salzburg. In the spring of 1945, the activities of this Archive Society ceased and it disbanded.
This involvement of women does point to what would come with the Thule-Gesellschaft, but in December of 1918, Sebottendorff planned but failed to kidnap Bavarian socialist prime minister Kurt Eisner. The Thuleans had been stockpiling weapons for Lehmann’s Pan-Germans during November 1918 in the event of an armed counter-revolution. All of this tension however leads to the Bavarian Revolution of April 1919 where the Thuleans allied with the government, after a failed coup attempt of that same government, to put down the revolution. On 26 April, the Communist dogs raided the society's premises and took seven of its members into custody, executing them on 30 April. Amongst them were Walter Nauhaus and three aristocrats, including Countess Heila von Westarp, who functioned as the group's secretary, and Prince Gustav of Thurn and Taxis, who was related to several European royal families.
This means that Hans Frank, Rudolf Hess, Alfred Rosenberg, Dietrich Eckart, Gottfried Feder, and Sebottendorff had all taken up arms against a communist revolution. Another future NSDAP member would also be in the area at this time. Though not an offical member, Heinrich Himmler joined the Landshut Free Corps and also the reserve company of the Oberland Free Corps. This Free Corps had only just been founded by Rudolf von Sebottendorf, with the support of Hoffmann’s government in order to defeat the Munich soviet republic. This is an interesting detail in Reichsführer-SS Himmler’s life, as he wanted to be on the frontlines in the First ECW but was unable to join. Meaning that he had a chance to gun down communist dogs during the Bavarian revolution.
However, one more member of the Thule-Gesellschaft would enter the picture after the Bavarian revolution. An Austrio-Croatian woman traveled to Munich, a member of the German National Movement of Austria, Maria Orsic or Orschitsch. She was employed as a medium with rumor being that she would attempt to contact the shades of the Thulean hostages who had been murdered by communist revolutionaries in April 1919. This idea, that of female mediums using necromantic visions into the world of the dead, lines up with Wiligut’s esotericism. Eckart, Rosenberg, and Sebottendorff also took part in this ritual.
On 5 January 1919, together with the Thule-Gesellschaft's Karl Harrer, Anton Drexler, and Dietrich Eckart formed the Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (DAP, German Worker’s Party) after developing links between the Thule Society and various extreme-right workers' organizations in Munich. Adolf Hitler would join the party in September of that same year, with Eckart taking a great interest in the man.
Dietrich Eckart was born on 23 March 1868 in Neumarkt, in the Kingdom of Bavaria, the son of Christian Eckart, a royal notary and lawyer, and his wife Anna, a devout Catholic. Eckart's mother died when he was ten years old and he was expelled from several schools. In 1895, his father died, leaving him a considerable amount of money that Eckart soon spent.
Eckart would go on to write several plays while, before becoming a devot antisemite, admiring the poet Heinrich Heine and Otto Weininger, who were both Jews. Weininger, however, was a convert to Protestantism, and is what many would describe as the archetypal "self-hating Jew", as Weininger would go on to espouse antisemitic views. Eckart's admiration for Weininger is believed to have eventually lead to his own antsemitism.
Eckart also had an interst in the occult, specifically Theosophy and the Ariosophy of Guido von List. Ernst Lauterer, also known as Tarnhari, was a seer who would become associated with Guido von List. Ernst asserted that List’s reconstructions of the past were correct which was seen by List as an omen of good fortune for the Aryans. Though Ernst was not among List’s most prolific associates, he does provide another direct connection between the Guido von List society and the NSDAP. Ernst established a periodical, which was published in Leipzig, known as Swastika Letters, with Dietrich Eckart as chief advertiser on Swastika Letters. Eckart would also collaborate with Ernst on several pamphlets as well. Dietrich Eckart was a member of the Thule Society and Führer Hitler’s chief mentor in postwar Munich. Ernst was also a frequent guest in the Berlin home of the Germanenorden’s Philipp Stauff. There is also a claim that Eckart exchanged letters with Liebenfels in 1905. Eckart is also believed to have attended lectures at the Theosophical Society, and read the 1903 German translation of Madame Blavatsky’s 'Die Geheimlehre' - Secret Doctrine.
This is extremely important as the many ties that Eckart has to various occult groups and trends only further shows that the later NSDAP was extremely influenced by the occult. That the NSDAP was an outgrowth of the occult trends within the volkisch culture that was growing within Germany before the 1stECW.
In December 1918, after the defeat in the 1stECW, Eckart established an antisemitic weekly called Auf gut Deutsch ("In plain German"), which received financial support from the Thule Society. Eckart worked with Alfred Rosenberg, whom he called his "co-warrior against Jerusalem", and Gottfried Feder. Eckart would prove to be a fierce critic of the German Revolution and the Weimar Republic, as he vehemently opposed the Treaty of Versailles, which he viewed as treason, and was a proponent of the stab-in-the-back legend idea. This idea, correctly, vieewed the Social Democrats and Jews as being major reasons for Germany's defeat in the war. Eckart is also said to have read the Protocols of the Elders of Zion at this time.
Returing to the formation of the DAP in January of 1919, this name would not last long as it was changed in February 1920 to the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (National Socialist German Workers' Party, or NSDAP). Eckart would go on to be instrumental in shaping the persona of Adolf Hitler into the coming Germanic Messiah, as Eckart was one of the Adolf Hitler's most important early mentors. The relationship between Eckart and Hitler was not simply a political one, as there was a strong emotional and intellectual bond between the two men, a paternalistic relationship. It was Eckart who would give Hitler his philosophy of the necessity of overcoming "soulless Jewishness" as the basis for a true German revolution, unlike the false revolution of 1918. Although Hitler needed to present himself as a self-made man, which prevented him from publicly writing or speaking about the debt he owed to Eckart, in private Hitler acknowledged Eckart as having been his teacher and mentor, and as the spiritual co-founder of Nazism.
Upon meeting Hitler for the first time, Eckart would say of him "I felt myself attracted by his whole way of being, and very soon I realized that he was exactly the right man for our young movement."And "That's Germany's next great man –one day the whole world will talk about him."
Ekcart would become Hitler's mentor after this meeting, exchanging ideas with him and helping to establish theories and beliefs of the Party. He lent Hitler books to read, gave him a trench coat to wear, and made corrections to Hitler's style of speaking and writing. Hitler was to say later "Stylistically I was still an infant."Eckart regarded Hitler as his protégé. Given Eckart’s extensive occult connections and knowledge, the two men talking for hours would lead to going over the occult as both Hitler and Eckart would have been aware of the ideas of Lanz Libenfels. Though there is little material evidnce of occult teachings from Eckart to Hitler, on his death bed Eckart is quoted as saying;
"Follow Hitler! He will dance, but it is I who have called the tune! I have initiated him into the 'Secret Doctrine,' opened his centers in vision and given him the means to communicate with the Powers. Do not mourn for me: I shall have influenced history more than any other German."
The VrilArrives
"There is in nature one most potent force, by means whereof a single man, who could possess himself of it, and should know how to direct it, could revolutionize and change the face of the world."
Albert Pike, Provincial Grand Master of the Royal Order of Scotland
The word Vril has its origins in the oldest periods of the history of the Aryans. In sanskrit it is Vīra, which means hero, and in Latin it is virilis which means manly or powerful. Here we see the connection to the heroic life-force which empowers one to overcome obstacles on their path through life. Vril is a powerful force which was used by our ancestors, the various traditions of the East reflect this primordial knowledge in the form of Chi, Prana, and various other forms that were passed from the Aryans who escaped the downfall of the Gobi civlization. This knowledge can be seen in the Aryans who went west after the fall of Hyperborea, specifically in the Nordic tradition of Wotan breathing life into the first people as described in the Poetic Edda. All of this is describing Vril, a life force which is in all living beings but was accessable to the pure ones, the Aryans of old Hyperborea, as they were the most pure of blood. The power of the vril was lost due to subsequent generations, from the fall of various Aryan advanced civilizations, engaged in breeding with lower species, the mixing of the blood brought about a lose of ability and power.
Vril reentered the public conciousness with the publishing of Vril, the Coming Race in the year of 1871 from Edward Bulwer-Lytton, who many suspect to have been a Rosicrucian or a Free Mason. Though there is no supossed evidence for this, one cannot rule out the possibility of him having some knowledge from a hidden group as membership of certain explicit occult groups tends to be kept very close to the chest. Nevertheless, the book would go on to influence the Helena Blavatsky who was a founder of the Theosophical Society.
A more concisive understanding of what Vril is however, is presented in the book “Vril, or Vital Magnetism”by William Walker Atkinson;
“In the Arcane Teaching, the term "Vril" indicates the universal principle of vital-energy, life-force, or vital magnetism, as it is sometimes called. The term itself is believed to have had its origin in the language of ancient Atlantis, tradition holding that the Atlantean root vri, meaning life, is the source of the word Vril, the latter expressing the idea of vital principle or life-energy. This original root term is believed to have influenced similar elementary terms in the Sanscrit, and through this that great source of tongues, the Latin, from which our own language is largely derived. In many languages we find words indicating manly vigor, energy, virility, which undoubtedly owe their origin to the original Atlantean root term vri from which our term is derived.
In the ancient Greek we find the term veros, meaning "a hero." In the Sanskrit we discover vira, meaning "a hero," and in the ancient Irish vear, meaning "a man." The Gothic wair, and the Anglo-Saxon wer, each meaning "a man," as well as the Latin word vir meaning "a man," (from which our terms "virile, virility," originated,) also appear to have been derived from the Atlantean term vri, or "life." It was very natural to identify the concept of "man" with "life."”
Blavatsky would make the same comparison within her books, “Isis Unveiled” and “the Secret Doctrine”, that there is a vital force which can be found in all things.
“It is the “ vril” of Bulwer’s “Coming Race,” and of the coming races of our mankind. The name may be a fiction, the Force itself is mentioned in all the secret works. It is allegorized in the Vishnu Pur ana, the Ramayama and other works, in the fable about the Sage Kapila, “ whoso glance made a mountain of ashes of King Sagara's 60,000 sons.” The discovery in its completeness is many thousand years too premature. It will be at its appointed place and time only when the great flood of poverty and underpaid labor ebbs back again, as it will when the just demands of the many are granted. This may be hastened by the spread of learning, and by new openings for work and emigration on some new continent that may appear.”
All of this is the reintroduction of the vital force, the Vril, back into the West, as this understanding was lost with the destruction that came with one of the major revolts of the slaves, the rise of judean Christianity. Christians attacked anything that they could not incorporate into their own nebulous framework which rejects outright true spirituality and science in favor of blind obidence to a long dead, if real at all, jew. Much of our understand of our Aryan past was lost with the destruction that the jew and the slave, the christian, wrought upon our civilizations of not only Rome, but the destruction that would also take place in the new world would also mean a great lose of possible knowledge. It is understood that the
The reintroduction of the Vril into this moment of history has been noted by many people as being greatly significant. According to Jan Van Helsing, author of “Company Aldebaran”or “Unternehmen Aldebaran”, a notable German esoteric nationalist who was in touch with SS-Man Wilhelm Landig;
“In the beginning of the 19th century on old prophecy started to fulfill itself. According to probably the highest Tibetan secret society, the "dGe-lugs-pa" (Yellow Hats), the point where the VRIL power, the power that runs the universe, hits the planet and emerges would shift from Tibet, the "Roof of the World", to the "Land of the Midnight Mountain" - to Germany. That's the reason why the Tibetans always supported Germany and became the secret founders of the Third Reich. In this prophecy, it is said that the new "LichtReich" (realm of light) will emerge from Germany and therefore the power of the Jews will be taken away from them.”
The Vril novel indeed had a great impact upon release, as the influence of Blavatsky and her theosophical movement would influence the volkisch movements within the German speaking world, this can be seen in both Guido von List and Lanz von Liebenfels. Guido von List would become one of the most important figures in Germanic revivalism, Germanic mysticism, Runic Revivalism and Runosophy in the late 19th century and early 20th century, and continues to be so today. Guido von List is the author of Das Geheimnis der Runen (The Secret of the Runes), which is a detailed study of the Armanen Futharkh, his intellectual world-view (as realised in the years between 1902 and 1908), and serves as an introduction to the rest of his work and is widely regarded as the pioneering work of Runology in modern occultism. As an adult he claimed he had then sworn to build a temple to Wotan when he grew up. This he recounted in volume 2 (page 592-593) of his book Deutsch-Mythologische Landschaftsbilder:
“It was in the year 1862 - I was then in my fourteenth year of life - when I, after much asking, received permission from my father to accompany him and his party who were planning to visit the catacombs [under St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna] which were at that time still in their original condition. We climbed down, and everything I saw and felt excited me with a kind of power that today I am no longer able to experience. Then we came - it was, if I remember correctly, in the third or fourth level - to a ruined altar. The guide said that we were now situated beneath the old post office (today the Wohlzeile House No. 8). At that point my excitement was raised to fever pitch, and before this altar I proclaimed out loud this ceremonial vow: "Whenever I get big, I will build a Temple to Wotan!" I was, of course, laughed at, as a few members of the party said that a child did not belong in such a place… I knew nothing more about Wuotan than that which I had read about him in Vollmer's Wörterbuch der Mythologie.”
Lanz von Liebenfels enters the picture as a friend and student of Guido von List, who would go onto help found the "Guido von List Gesellschaft" (Guido von List society) in 1905, and in 1907 he founded the "Ordo novi templi" (Order of the New Templars). He published the magazine 'Ostara, Briefbücherei der Blonden und Mannesrechtler' from 1905 till 1930. Liebenfels would speak on electricity in his work, Theozoology, here are some exercts of concern;
“Heimdallr-Iring, who was born on Atlantis -- "where the sun submerges" -- sees at a distance of a hundred leagues. Oracles are delivered in caves and in the dark. Counsel comes to the wise at night. Electricity is "revelation" and "enthusiasm" (inspiration). What we laboriously and indirectly see with the scientific eye was seen by the ancients using another kind of sight”
“The divine electricity transferred it into them! The gods were not only living electrical receiving stations, however, they were also electrical power -- and broadcasting stations.”
“The effects of electric rays are not all of the same type, however. One type of radiation facilitates healing, as has recently been shown through experimentation, the other stimulates diseases. Just as recovery or sickness comes from the gods.”
“We were electric, we will be electric, to be electric and to be divine is the same thing! By means of the electric eye primitive man was omniscient, through inner electrical power they were omnipotent. The omniscient and omnipotent has the right to call itself God!”
“God has both characteristics of electrical radiation, he causes to live and he kills, he heals and he causes disease and hurls lightning-rays”
There is some crossover with what was described above with concern to the Vril. There was an idea that electrical powers came from a divine station, or position, in life. Given that to Liebenfels the Theozoa, or the original Aryan forms who were pure and not of mixed blood, had such abilities, this does suggest that the pure blood leads to higher power.
All of this is to that there indeed was a heavy occult influence within pre-WW1 Germany as this cultural influence would manifest as the greatest movement in Germany. In 1903, the "Panbabylonian Society" was founded in Berlin and Vienna. The leading figures of this society included Friedrich Delitzsch, Peter Jensen, Hugo Winckler, Alfred Jeremias, Paul Schnabel, and Edmund Meyer—all highly respected scholars in the fields of Assyriology and Ancient Near Eastern Studies. In Vienna, the "Circle of the Magical Panbabylonians" was formed, which would come to dominate the "Panbabylonian Society." This "Panbabylonian Society" was involved in the early formation of the better-known "Thule Society," as well as other lesser-known but similar organizations, such as Guido von List's "Ariogermanic Philosophy." Two years before the founding of the "Panbabylonian Society," in 1901, Friedrich Delitzsch published his work "Babel und Bibel," presented in the presence of German Emperor Wilhelm II. While the scientific community responded positively to "Babel und Bibel," the contemporary church strongly rejected it. Overall, the content of the work was considered sensational. The aforementioned scholars, along with the American Phil Morris, then formed a "scientific circle," which later evolved into the "Panbabylonian Society" in 1903. The scholars Peter Jensen and Hugo Winckler from this "circle" were the authors of "The Epic of Gilgamesh in World Literature" (by Jensen) and "Babylonian Intellectual Culture" (by Winckler).
In 1911, Foundations of the Nineteenth Century by Houston Stewart Chamerlain would be published and there is an interesting quote within it concerning the Sumerian’s;
“A more direct contrast to the Semitic nature cannot be imagined, we can easily fancy what a degradation the Sumerian theories of the creation may have suffered under Israelite hands. But it becomes ever more probable that this whole mythology is permeated with old Aryan conceptions, to which, for example, the tree of life, the flood, the Godhead in water (hence baptism), the stories of the temptation belong.”
Herman Wirth, a man would would join the SS and become the first president of the Ahnenerbe, would say of the Sumerians in his work, , that the Sumerian religion;
"This reflects the "primeval" North Atlantic connections between northern European and Sumerian-Babylonian traditions."
This is to show that the idea of there being a connection between the religions of the Germanic and Sumerian peoples was being floated within the general cultural milieu of the time. With the defeat of the Central Powers in the first European Civil war, there was a general outrage amongst the German volk for the treatment they were under going. The Entente powers had stripped Germany of land and forced shameful treaties upon them. Austria-Hungry was likewise torn apart with Hungary experiencing a communist revolution in the middle of this. It is here that the impetus for the creation of the Thule Society and the Vril society would germinate. The occult volkisch movements were going to fulfill the prophecy that Jan Van Helsing relays, the true Germanic Savior would arrive. Many wish to present the Thule Society as a simple occult group who spoke on various esoteric matters yet this is contradicted by statements made by the founder of the Thule society, Rudolf von Sebottendorf;
"Yesterday we experienced the collapse of everything that was familiar, dear, and precious to us. In place of our blood-related Prince there now reigns our deadly enemy: Judah. A time of struggle, of bitter affliction, a time of danger is coming. As long as I hold the iron hammer, it will be my goal to engage the Thule Society in this struggle. Our Order is a Germanic Order. Fidelity is Germanic. Our God is Walvater. His rune is the aarune. Aarune means Aryan, the original Fire, the Sun, and the Eagle. And the Eagle is the symbol of the Aryans. The eagle was made red to convey its capacity for self-immolation. From today forwards, the eagle is our symbol. It should remind us that we must pass through death in order to live.”
There are many suspected members of the Thule Society, Dietrich Bronder would say in Before Hitler Came, 1964, that membership of the Thule Society included; Dietrich Eckart, Gottfried Feder, Hans Frank, Hermann Göring, Karl Haushofer, Rudolf Hess, Heinrich Himmler, and Alfred Rosenberg. Sebottendorff planned but failed to kidnap Bavarian socialist prime minister Kurt Eisner in December 1918. During the Bavarian revolution of April 1919, Thulists were accused of trying to infiltrate its government and of attempting a coup. On 26 April, the Communist government in Munich raided the society's premises and took seven of its members into custody, executing them on 30 April. Amongst them were Walter Nauhaus and three aristocrats, including Countess Heila von Westarp who functioned as the group's secretary, and Prince Gustav of Thurn and Taxis who was related to several European royal families. In response, the Thule organised a citizens' uprising as White troops entered the city on 1 May. It should be noted that Maria Orsic is believed to have fought alongside her fellow Thulists as she had come to Munich at this time.
Maria Orsic (or Grschitsch) joined the Panbabylonian Society and its "Circle of the Magical Panbabylonians" in Vienna in 1916, where she also met Rudolf von Sebottendorf, the later founder of the "Thule Society." Von Sebottendorf was at that time involved in studies about the Germanic origin of the Croats (Herwannen). With Maria Orsic’s involvement, von Sebottendorf prepared the founding of the Thule Society in 1917. A year later, in 1918, Maria Orsic moved to Munich, Bavaria, where she met Traute A. in 1919 and introduced her into the "Thule Circle," the Thule Society, of which she had been a "founding member" for about two years.
In a short time, Maria Orsic and Traute A. gathered more and more young women interested in "panbabylonian-magical" matters. Still in 1919, Maria Orsic received, via telepathy, interstellar messages from the solar system Aldebaran, located 68 light-years from Earth. Since Traute A. had longer and denser hair than Maria Orsic — thus possessing "hair antennas" particularly suitable for media-magical purposes — the reception of these telepathic messages by Traute A. was somewhat better than that of her friend Maria Orsic. Traute A. could also effectively communicate with Aldebaran. The Aldebaran telepathy was supposedly being mentally dictated by Aldebaranian priestesses to the earthly media, initially Maria Orsic and Traute A., who transcribed the dictations. These telepathic messages were written in a script resembling the medieval "Bavarian Templar Script."
Initially, Maria Orsic and Traute A. could not read the script as they did not understand what written language this even was. They therefore sought out Peter Jensen at the original "Panbabylonian Society" in Vienna, who was able to translate the texts with ease. The script and text of these telepathic communication were essentially "Aldebaran-Sumerian," closely resembling ancient Earth Sumerian, which allowed an Assyriologist like Peter Jensen to read it well. Maria Orsic and Traute A. subsequently learned to translate their telepathic messages using the Sumerian dictionary by Friedrich Delitzsch and other learning aids. The so-called Templar secret script, the "Bavarian Templar Script," was primarily composed of a script "adapted from Phoenician-Carthaginian and Germanic runes, derived from cuneiform signs." The first "thought mail" (transmedial message) of 1919 described the "World of Sumi," i.e., the Aldebaran-Sumi planet SumiEr and other celestial bodies in the Aldebaran-Sumi solar system. The "thought mail senders" identified themselves as priestesses of the state religion of the theocratically governed world of Sumi, Aldebaran-Sumi.
At the beginning of the telepathic messages Maria Orsic and Traute A. believed it concerned "afterlife destinations" and were communicating with beings from beyond the veil of life and death. However, by early 1920, the two mediums recognized that the "World of Sumi" and its identity were related to the solar system Aldebaran, 68 light-years from Earth. About a year later, in 1921, detailed thought mail communications about the interstellar star realm Aldebaran-Sumi already existed. Later that same year, 1921, Maria Orsic and Traute A. invited the Assyriologist Peter Jensen to the parental home of their friend Gudrun near Königssee in Upper Bavaria. After this meeting, in 1921, Maria Orsic, Traute A., and their friends founded the "Alldeutsche Gesellschaft für Metaphysik Vril," later simply known as the "Vril Society."
With his specialized and well-founded scientific expertise, Peter Jensen became the "cultural-philosophical midwife of the Alldeutsche Gesellschaft für Metaphysik - Vril."The "Alldeutsche Gesellschaft für Metaphysik - Vril"was legally registered in Munich and Vienna from 1921. In 1926, Maria Orsic and Traute A. established the company "Antriebstechnische Werkstätten O.H.G."All members of the "Alldeutsche Gesellschaft für Metaphysik - Vril,"later simply called the "Vril Society,"were also co-owners of the "Antriebstechnische Werkstätten O.H.G.,"later also known simply as "Vril O.H.G." The "Vril O.H.G." listed in the German commercial register served as the financial basis and security for the "Vril Society," which from 1921 to 1926 relied on donations, creating a so-called "patron dependency" that its members rejected. By 1926, Maria Orsic was the Managing Director, and Traute A. was the Authorized Signatory of the company "Vril O.H.G." or "Antriebstechnische Werkstätten O.H.G." as it was officially known and recorded in the German commercial register in 1926.
