Germanic runic astrology

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Germanic runic astrology is a school of thought of its usage in divination within romanticist and occult traditions of Odinism based on the various Rune rows.

Germanic runic astrology is also known as Norse astrology, Nordic astrology and Teutonic astrology, Germanic astrology and Runic astrology.

[edit] Nazis

The National Socialist party of Germany had its own official occulitic centres and imprisoned numerous other astrologers, pendulumists, runic germanic revivalists that where not authorised by the Third Reich. The Nazis didn't hold much regard for Astrology due to its non-Aryan roots, but during the war took measures to utilise it, especially with the Flight of Rudolf Hess as he was obsessed with Astrology and the Occult. It is believed that he even flew on a peace mission to Britain based on Astrological advice from his circle of astrologers and occultists.
