Ron McVan, co-founder of the [[Wotansvolk]] racialist pagan group, was once affiliated with the Church of the Creator for two years as its second-in-command;<ref>{{cite web |url=http://archive.adl.org/learn/ext_us/lane.html |title=David Lane |website=Archive.adl.org |access-date=2016-05-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160526213017/http://archive.adl.org/learn/ext_us/lane.html |archive-date=May 26, 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref> McVan contributed articles and artwork to its periodical, ''Racial Loyalty'', and was a martial-arts instructor for the church. Although Klassen and McVan shared anti-Christian beliefs, McVan sought a more spiritual approach and felt that Creativity needed spirituality. He moved to the Pacific Northwest and founded Wotan's Kindred in [[Portland, Oregon]] in 1992, saying that the group was rooted in the "genetic character and collective identity" of the white race.<ref>{{cite book|last=Goodrick-Clarke|first=Nicholas|author-link=Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke|title=Black Sun: Aryan Cults, Esoteric Nazism, and the Politics of Identity|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xaiaM77s6N4C&pg=PA274|year=2003|publisher=NYU Press|isbn=978-0-8147-3155-0|page=274}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Kaplan|first=Jeffrey|author-link=Jeffrey Kaplan (academic)|title=Encyclopedia of White Power: A Sourcebook on the Radical Racist Right|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=nNWbbhUYv8oC&pg=PA201|year=2000|publisher=Rowman & Littlefield|isbn=978-0-7425-0340-3|page=201}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Gardell|first=Mattias|author-link=Mattias Gardell|title=Gods of the Blood: The Pagan Revival and White Separatism|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=FIwwWSSL5JIC&pg=PA222|year=2003|publisher=Duke University Press|isbn=978-0-8223-3071-4|page=222}}</ref>

[[David Lane (white supremacist)|David Lane]], McVan's associate and co-founder of Wotansvolk, drew inspiration from Creativity, particularly ideas of a "racial religion", but did not agree with Creativity's "atheistic" stance and considered himself [[Deism|deist]].<ref>{{cite book|last1=Dobratz|first1=Betty A.|last2=Shanks-Meile|first2=Stephanie L.|title=The White Separatist Movement in the United States: "White Power, White Pride!"|date=1997|publisher=JHU Press|isbn=9780801865374|page=144|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=r59bGyH4lOAC&pg=PA144|access-date=11 December 2017|language=en}}</ref>
