RUNE-MASTERS-KARL-MARIA-WILGUT



RUNE-MASTERS-KARL-MARIA-WILGUT

Karl Maria Wiligut ("Weisthor")

Born in Vienna, Karl Maria Wiligut came from a long line of military officers, and was educated and served as an infantry officer in the Austrian army. During the First World War, he lead troops on the Carpathian and Italian fronts, and, following the collapse of Hapsburg Empire, was discharged as a colonel in January 1919. Wiligut settled in Salzburg, where he developed his already-formidable reputation among occult circles as a keeper of ancient knowledge.

As early as 1903, Wiligut had published poetry influenced by Germanic mythology. Between 1889 and 1909, he was a high-ranking member of the quasi-masonic lodge Schlarraffia, taking the lodge-name of Lobesam. But it wasn't until around 1908 that Wiligut became involved in the vibrant occult scene in Europe, when he joined an small circle in Vienna which shared members with Jörg Lanz von Liebenfels' Order of the New Templars (ONT). It was one of these members, Theodor Czepl, that interviewed Wiligut in the winter of 1920-1, and his own brand of Ariosophist mythology was first documented.

Wiligut claimed that his family descended from the prehistoric Uiligotis of the Asa-Uana-Sippe, an ancient bloodline descended from the coupling of the divine Asen (air gods) and Wanen (water gods). This bloodline had remained pure throughout the ages, bestowing upon Wiligut an ancestral-clairovoyant memory that allowed him to remember beliefs and traditions from the Nordic past.

His grandfather and father had initiated Wiligut into these secrets in 1890, teaching him the mystic power of runes. In 1909, the nine pagan commandments of their Irminist religion were revealed to Wiligut, the same year he entered the occult völkisch scene.

He emigrated to Germany with his family in 1932. Wiligut settled in Munich, where, through friends in the ONT and the Edda Society, he quickly became an occult celebrity. These were tumultuous days in Germany, and the comfort of irrational beliefs made ariosophy a profitable industry, with many among the poor and rich alike hungry for the latest in the occult, astrology, and homeopathic medicine. It was in this atmosphere that Wiligut found success as an authority among rune scholars and a Germanic sage.

Wiligut stepped ahead of the ranks of his fellow Ariosophists to go beyond influencing German culture in the 1930s to affecting official government policy. As the Nazis rose to power in 1933, Wiligut caught the attention of the chief of the SS, Heinrich Himmler. Introduced through their mutual friend, Richard Anders, Himmler saw Wiligut's ancestral-clairvoyant memory as the means to create a new SS religion.

Wiligut took the name of "Weisthor" and joined the SS in September 1933 with the rank of SS-Hauptsturmführer. Appointed by Himmler as the head of the Department for Pre- and Early History in the Munich headquarters of the Rasse- und Siedlungshauptamt-SS (RuSHA, or Race and Settlement Office), Wiligut/Weisthor would design the rune-enscribed Totenkopfring bestowed on SS officers of merit, and assisted Himmler in his project of designing the Wewelsburg castle as a mystical stronghold for the new order of the SS.

Among all his duties, Wiligut/Weisthor was most involved in communing with the past through his ancestral-clairovoyance, recording his remembrances.

Wiligut/Weisthor used his position in the SS to benefit the research and careers of like-minded Ariosophists, most prominently Günther Kirchoff. A resident of Gaggenau near Baden-Baden in the Black Forest.

Kirchoff was a member of the List Society in Berlin before the war, and began corresponding with Wiligut/Weisthor in spring 1934. Using legends as fact, Kirchoff had developed ideas on magical ley-lines crossing over continents. This correspondence convinced Wiligut/Weisthor that Kirchoff was a kindred soul, bearing ancestral-clairovoyant memory as a descendant of an ancient Germanic tribe, that of Günther the Redbeard, which moved to Scotland in 800 BC and became the clan Kirkpatrick.

Kirchoff borrowed from the Armanenschaft of Guido von List to detail an elaborate hierarchy in ancient Germania, ruled by a triumvirate including Uiskunig of Goslar, King Arthur of Stonehenge, and Ermanrich of Vineta (Vilna). Based on this research, Wiligut/Weisthor and Kirchoff surveyed the Murg valley near Baden-Baden, claiming that a large Irminist temple based on the "eye of God in a triangle" had been centered on Schloss Eberstein.

Another researcher that enjoyed Wiligut/Weisthor's patronage was Otto Rahn, who was obsessed with the relationship between the Cathar heresy and the legends of the Holy Grail. Born in 1904 at Michelstadt, Rahn was educated in literature in philology before beginning a study that took him through Provence, Catalonia, Italy, and Switzerland between 1928 and 1933.

Wiligut's health deteriorated significantly following his resignation. The SS assigned Elsa Baltrusch of the Reichsführer-SS Personal Staff to be his caretaker. The two were quartered for a short time in Aufkirchen, until Wiligut settled in Goslar in May 1940. They were moved to an SS guest-house in Carinthia in 1943, until being evicted at the end of the war. After release from a British refugee camp at St. Johann, the two travelled to Salzburg, and then on to Baltrusch's family in Arolsen on December 1945. All of these travels wrecked Wiligut's already failing health, and he died on January 3, 1946.
