Rudolf John Gorsleben

Rudolf John Gorsleben (March 16, 1883 – August 23, 1930) was a German Aryan occultist, Armanen rune practitioner, newspaper editor, playwright, and völkisch occultist. Born in Metz (Alsace-Lorraine, then German Empire), he stood out in the pre-Nazi esoteric movement by promoting a mystical ideology of Aryan superiority, reinterpreting ancient Germanic runes as magical keys to racial "soul power." His work influenced circles such as the Thule Society and, indirectly, Nazi esotericism via Heinrich Himmler and the SS, although he died before the Third Reich.
