High Armanen Order
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hoher Armanen Orden (High Armanen Order), were the inner circle of the Guido-von-List-Society. This was set up to support Guido von List's deeper and more practical work. The HAO was seen as a magical order or lodge and was founded in midsummer 1911. List had achieved exoteric and esoteric circles in his organisation. The HAO conducted pilgrimages to what they considered "holy Armanic sites", Stephansdom in Vienna, Carnuntum, etc. They also had their occasional meetings between 1911 and 1918, but the exact nature of these remains unknown. The HAO never really crystallized in List's lifetime – although it seems possible that he developed a theoretical body of unpublished documents and rituals relevant to the HAO which have only been put into full practice in more recent years.
