Page "Thule" Paragraph 39

The Traditionalist School expositor Rene Guenon believed in the existence of ancient Thule on " initiatic grounds " " alone ".

According to its emblem, the Thule Society was founded on August 18, 1918.

It had close links to the Deutsche Arbeiter Partei ( DAP ), later the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei ( NSDAP, the Nazi party ).

One of its three founding members was Lanz von Liebenfels ( 1874 – 1954 ).

In his biography of Liebenfels ( Der Mann, der Hitler die Ideen gab, Munich 1985 ), the Viennese psychologist and author Wilhelm Dahm wrote: " The Thule Gesellschaft name originated from mythical Thule, a Nordic equivalent of the vanished culture of Atlantis.

A race of giant supermen lived in Thule, linked into the Cosmos through magical powers.

They had psychic and technological energies far exceeding the technical achievements of the 20th century.

This knowledge was to be put to use to save the Fatherland and create a new race of Nordic Aryan Atlanteans.

A new Messiah would come forward to lead the people to this goal.

" In his history of the SA ( Mit ruhig festem Schritt, 1998 ), Wilfred von Oven, Joseph Goebbels ' press adjutant from 1943 to 1945, confirmed that Pytheas ' Thule was the historical Thule for the Thule Gesellschaft.
