Editing Ariosophy (section)

==='Ariosophic' writers and organisations===
While a broad definition of the term 'Ariosophy' is useful for some purposes, various of the later authors, including Ellegaard Ellerbek, [[Philipp Stauff]] and Günther Kirchoff, can more exactly be described as cultivating the Armanism of List.<ref>{{harvnb|Goodrick-Clarke|1985|p=155}}</ref> In a less broad approach, one could also treat ''rune occultism'' separately. Although the Armanen runes go back to List, [[Rudolf John Gorsleben]] distinguished himself from other ''völkisch'' writers by making the esoteric importance of the runes central to his world view. Goodrick-Clarke therefore refers to the doctrine of Kummer and Gorsleben and his followers as rune occultism, a description that also fits the eclectic work of [[Karl Spiesberger]]. Highly practical{{Explain|date=January 2020}} systems of rune occultism, influenced mainly by List, were developed by [[Friedrich Bernhard Marby]] and [[Siegfried Adolf Kummer]].<ref>{{harvnb|Goodrick-Clarke|1985|pp=160–62}}</ref> Also worthy of mention are [[Peryt Shou]], the occult novelist; [[A. Frank Glahn]], noted more for his [[pendulum]] [[dowsing]]; [[Rudolf von Sebottendorff]] and Walter Nauhaus, who built up the [[Thule Society]]; and Karl Maria Wiligut, who was the most notable [[Religious aspects of Nazism|occultist working for the SS]].

Organisations include: the ''Guido von List Society'', the ''High Armanen Order'', the Lumen Club, the ''Ordo Novi Templi'', the ''Germanenorden'' (in which a schism occurred) and the Thule Society.
