The Thule Society (German: Thule-Gesellschaft) was founded August 17, 1918, by Rudolf von Sebottendorff, a leading Occult author. Its original name was Studiengruppe für germanisches Altertum (Study Group for German Antiquity), but it soon started to disseminate anti-republican and anti-Semitic propaganda. In 1918, Sebottendorff purchased the Münchener Beobachter, a weekly Munich newspaper which he transformed into the Thule Society's official and often anti-Semitic publication.

Sebottendorff

Sebottendorff was very wealthy, although the origin of his fortune is unknown. He became the Grand Master of the Bavarian Order.

Little has actually been written about Sebottendorff, other than that he was a Turkish citizen, claiming to have been adopted, who was familiar with Sufi and Islamic literature. Some biographers have stated that his real or European name was Adam Alfred Rudolf Glauer, (or Blauer) and that he was also involved in the violent Bavarian political scene and in various attempts to market a prototype armored vehicle or tank.

The Thule Society was part of the Völkisch movement in Germany around the turn of the century. Like many other groups, it sought to find an ethnic and historical identity for Germany, which had only been united since 1871.

It had members from the top echelons of the Nazi Party, including Rudolf Hess and Alfred Rosenberg. Although Adolf Hitler himself was not a member, he received support from the group, and one of its members, Dietrich Eckart, actually coached him on his public speaking skills. Hitler later dedicated Mein Kampf to Eckart.

After acheiving supreme power, Hitler and the Nazis outlawed the Thule Society, sending its members to detention camps, along with many other members of esoteric groups.

Its press organ was the Münchener Beobachter (Munich Observer) which later became the Völkischer Beobachter (People's Observer). The Thule Society is speculated to be closely connected to the Germanenorden secret society a.k.a. the "Order of Teutons" (1912).

Conspiracy Theories

Like the Ahnenerbe section of the SS, and due to its occult background, the Thule Society has become the center of many conspiracy theories concerning Nazi Germany. Such theories include the creation of spacecraft and secret weapons. Because the group helped Hitler with his speaking skills, some have even suggested that the society somehow granted him magic powers that contributed to his later success.

It is also claimed that Thule-Gesellschaft possessed a psychic named Maria Orsic, who convinced them that the Aryan race did not originate on the Earth, but came from Aldebaran in Taurus — some sixty-five light years away.

There is an excellent book written on this subject of the Thule society and the Nazi connection. It is written by Trevor Ravenscroft and is called “The Spear of Destiny”. Ravenscroft says that the inner core of the Thule society were Satanists and practiced Black Magic. The sole intent was for them to, with help from magic rituals, bring consciousness up to a level where they could perceive the evil of the world and stay in telepathic communication with alien life forms who communicate on that level.

Thule had an inner creed: Thule was a legendary island far up in the north, similar to Atlantis, the center of a lost high-level civilization. But still some of the secret knowledge from that time exists, they say. The remaining knowledge should be guarded and protected by ancient, highly intelligent beings. The truly initiated could, by magical rituals, keep in contact with those beings. The “Masters” in their turn could endow the initiated with supernatural strength and energy. With the help of this energy the goal of the initiated would be to create a race of Supermen of Aryan stock, who would exterminate all “lower” races.
