Guido von List Society
The Guido von List Society was an association of supporters of the völkisch movement and esotericists , which was supposed to promote the folk-esoteric "research work" of Guido von List (1848-1919). It was founded in Vienna in 1908 .
Members
Among the founders were the industrialist Friedrich Wannieck, Jörg Lanz von Liebenfels , Vienna's Lord Mayor Karl Lueger , the former Vienna Mayor Josef Neumayer and 50 other well-known people with a German national or esoteric orientation. All members of the Vienna Theosophical Association were represented on the list of members of the Guido von List Society .
Publications
The List Society referred to the writings of the occultist Helena Petrovna Blavatskys and from 1908 to 1914 published seven volumes written by List in the Guido List library.
The High Armanen Order (HAO)
List claimed to be descended from the Armanes who, according to his view of the world, were the last spiritual and priestly leaders of the Aryans . As an inner circle, allegedly oriented towards secret science, List founded the Armanenschaft or High Armanen Order (HAO), which was lavishly sponsored by large industrialists and which consisted of fewer than a dozen members and which soon dissolved.
The Armanen Order in 1976
A kind of successor society to the Guido von List Society is the Armanen-Orden, founded in 1976 .
