From Metapedia
Wilhelm Landig (born in December 20, 1909 - 1997) was a former member of the SS whom revived ariosophical mythology of Thule.
Landig Group
He founded the Landig Group in 1950 (also known as Landig Circle, Vienna Group and Vienna Lodge) as an occultist and neo-völkisch group that first gathered for discussions at his studio in Vienna's 4th district of Wieden, in Austria. Other prominent and influential members of the group were Erich Halik (Claude Schweikhart) and Rudolf J. Mund (1920 - 1985).
The group revived the ariosophical, Ario-Germanic mythology of Thule, the supposed polar homeland of the ancient Aryans.
Landig "coined the term Black Sun, a substitute Swastika [and/or Fylfot ] and mystical source of energy capable of regenerating the Aryan race."[1] Landig, through his circle, popularized esoteric ideas current among the pre-Hitler völkisch movement and the SS relating to Atlantis, the World Ice Theory, pre-historic floods and secret racial doctrines from Tibet.
Landig and other occult-fascist propagandists have circulated wild stories about German National Socialist colonies that live and work in secret installations beneath the polar ice caps, where they developed flying saucers and miracle weapons after the demise of the Third Reich. [2] Including the theory that flying saucers were National Socialist secret weapons launched from an underground base in Antarctica, from which the National Socialists hoped to conquer the world.
The focus of the group’s discussions was a secret center in the Arctic known as the Blue Island, which could serve as a source point for a renaissance of traditional life. This idea was taken from Julius Evola, whose Revolt Against the Modern World became the bible of the Landig group. [3]
More so, or at least equally as important to the group as Evola's book, the Vienna Group hungrily devoured the ideas and books of Hermann Wirth. [4]
