Guido von List

    October 5, 1848 – May 17, 1919

    Guido von List was an Austrian esotericist and an early proponent of Aryan mythology, becoming an influential figure in the occult movement at the turn of the 20th century. His writings focused on paganism and Germanic mythology, which he sought to revive for modern people. He utilized runes and symbolism to construct a comprehensive system of spiritual teachings. His work influenced later esoteric and nationalist groups.

    • 2011

      A beautiful edition of the 1898 "Germanic catechism" by the man who would become the leader of an esoteric Germanic revival just a few years later. This edition is a virtual replica of the original with all the art-nouveau style art-work redrawn closely following the original by Timothy Weinmeister. The text is an outline of a moral teaching with which few could disagree. Translation is by Edred Thorsson.

      The Invincible
    • 1989

      The runes are said to have “revealed themselves” to von List, uncovering a complete cosmology and esoteric understanding of the primeval Teutonic/Aryan peoples, and becoming the cornerstone of his ideology. No other work so clearly and simply sets forth the full spectrum of von List’s fantastic vision of a mystical philosophy based on Germanic principles.
