Summary

Description

English: 'World-rune-clock', 2D design by Werner von Bülow. The 'clock' is actually a diagram of correspondences and would have been widely disseminated and used in German mystical circles.

Date

Published in a 1930 book, variants probably in circulation before that

Source

This copy originally from the book w:Hoch-Zeit der Menschheit (The Zenith of Humanity) by w:Rudolf John Gorsleben (Leipzig, 1930), p.328f. Reproduced in the book w:The Occult Roots of Nazism by w:Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke (1985, ISBN 0-85030-402-4) where it is sourced (pp 159, 254) to the book Hoch-Zeit der Menschheit. Gorsleben's book featured "illustrations drawn from numerous scholarly studies in prehistory, archaeology, ethnology, and art history" and "reproduced over a hundred plates from such works, including photographs, line drawings, diagrams, and maps" (Goodrick-Clarke, op. cit., 158-159) so it is unclear if the diagram was published prior to Hoch-Zeit der Menschheit.
