===Racial beliefs===
Lane stated that his beliefs can be best summarized by a slogan he called the "[[Fourteen Words]]": "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for White children." He also coined a second 14-word slogan: "because the beauty of the White Aryan woman must not perish from the earth."<ref name="adl"/>

====88 Precepts====
While he was in prison, Lane wrote the '''88 Precepts''' as a treatise on his views on [[Race (human categorization)|race]], politics, and philosophy (88 is a common [[Dog whistle (politics)|dog-whistle]] to praise Adolf Hitler, as "Heil Hitler" uses the eighth letter of the English alphabet, H, for the start of both words). Lane viewed these as the principles behind the two "Fourteen Words" slogans. The ''88 Precepts'' are [[Criticism of democracy|critical of democracy]] and oppose government under the claim of [[taxation as theft]]. They also promoted [[servant leadership]], a [[Deism|Deistic]] theological view, and rejected [[racial integration]], calling it a "euphemism" for "[[White genocide conspiracy theory|White genocide]]." Lane's writing also sought to establish a [[white ethnostate]] in [[North America]] and in [[Eastern Europe]].

"88 Precepts" is one of several key texts, printed and distributed through 14 Word Press, including the "White Genocide Manifesto" (which contained 14 key points).<ref>{{Citation | last = Rider | first = Sarah | title = Tolerating Intolerance: Resisting the Urge to Silence Student Opinion in the Writing Classroom | url=http://www.nwp.org/cs/public/print/resource/531 | access-date = 2007-09-29}}</ref> As in his other writings, Lane repeats the claim that [[white people]] are threatened by a lack of exclusive territorial hegemony and "forced racial mixing".<ref>{{Citation | last = Anti-Defamation League | title = David Lane | url=http://www.adl.org/learn/ext_us/lane.asp |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110517113847/http://www.adl.org/learn/Ext_US/lane.asp|archive-date=May 17, 2011 | access-date = November 18, 2019}}</ref> Lane viewed the United States government as part of a [[Zionist]] conspiracy.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Swedish Academic Mattias Gardell Discusses the Rise of Neo-Paganism in America |url=https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/intelligence-report/2001/swedish-academic-mattias-gardell-discusses-rise-neo-paganism-america |access-date=11 April 2023 |work=Intelligence Report |publisher=Southern Poverty Law Center |date=Spring 2001 |language=en}}</ref>{{sfn|Gardell|2003|p=192}}

Consistent with the restrictive [[gender role]]s which were practiced within [[Aryan Nations]], precept 35 of "88 Precepts" regards [[homosexuality]] as unnatural and also views [[Sexual intercourse|sex]] as an act of reproduction which should be performed for the sole purpose of increasing the size of the white population. Lane also considers sex as a motivation for male subjugation of women, who are expected to be subservient. Lane advises men to subjugate women via power and control of territory, and he also advises white men to take up arms for this purpose.{{sfn|Lazebnik|2013|pp=210–211}} According to its web site, the [[United Klans of America]] viewed the 88 Precepts as "a source for which we can ascertain lasting truths".{{sfn|Balleck|2019|pp=336–337}}

===Wotansvolk===
{{main|Wotansvolk}}
Lane was one of the founders of the [[Wotansvolk]] movement, a [[Racism|racist]], neo-''[[Völkisch movement|völkisch]]''<ref name=neo-volkisch>{{Cite web |title=Neo-Volkisch |url=https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/ideology/neo-volkisch |website=Southern Poverty Law Center |access-date=August 8, 2018 |language=en}}</ref> form of [[Heathenry (new religious movement)|Odinism]] (or [[Heathenry (new religious movement)|Heathenry]]) which he formed with his wife Katja in 1995 in order to promote his ideology<ref name=":1" /> which pursued a program of concerted outreach to prisoners.{{sfn|Gardell|2003|p=381}} Wotansvolk combines an "Aryan call to arms" with an [[Western esotericism|esoteric]] teaching, partially based on [[Analytical psychology|Jungian psychology]], völkish philosophy, and [[Nazism|National Socialism]].{{sfn|Gardell|2014|p=389}} Lane distanced himself from [[Heathenry (new religious movement)#Racial issues|universalist Odinists]] (including "folkish Asatru") who did not embrace "survival of the Aryan race" as a core part of the movement.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.haaretz.com/us-news/what-are-the-14-words-everyones-been-freaking-out-about-1.5482606 |title=What Are the '14 Words' Everyone's Been Freaking Out About? |date=August 12, 2018 |newspaper=[[Haaretz]] |access-date=August 12, 2018}}</ref> Lane argued with [[Stephen McNallen]], then leader of the [[Asatru Folk Assembly]] when Lane was alive.{{sfn|Gardell|2003|p=280}} By 2017, McNallen came out with support for Lane's 14 Words, quoting them verbatim.<ref name=neo-volkisch/>

Aiming to foment a white revolution, Wotansvolk endorsed "[[leaderless resistance]]," a strategy which was popularized by [[Louis Beam]], a [[Ku Klux Klan|Klan]] veteran and a longtime friend of the Lane family.{{sfn|Gardell|2014|p=389}} However, 14 Word Press and Temple of Wotan are defunct organizations and as a result no longer have mailing addresses or websites, although Wotanism is still practiced by independent [[Kindred (Heathenism)|kindreds]].

Portraying [[Sir Francis Bacon]] and [[Shakespeare]] as being "adept in ancient divine wisdom" and believing that the [[Egyptian pyramids|pyramids]] were built by "Aryan architects", Lane taught a belief called the "Pyramid Prophecy 666",{{sfn|Gardell|2003|p=381}} which included the concept that a [[Bible code]] was inserted by "Aryan adepts" within the [[King James Version]] of the Christian [[Bible]]. Lane's alleged deciphered code described him as being the "man" who is described in the [[Book of Revelation]], with America being [[The Beast (Revelation)|the Beast]], but that belief was censored by Ron McVan and other strategists who believed that Lane's [[Messiah|Messianic]] / [[Anti-Christ]] claims would be counterproductive by "turning off potential converts".{{sfn|Gardell|2003|p=382}} Lane also issued a declaration called "Moral Authority", which calls the United States a "[[Flag of the United States|Red, White, and Blue]] travelling mass murder machine" intent on committing [[White genocide conspiracy theory|genocide against white people]]. According to the declaration, "true moral authority belongs to those who resist" this purported genocide.<ref name="adl"/> Lane claimed that was the "666 Sun Man" and that America was the "Beast", and  that "14-88" was an integral part of coding in his "Pyramid Prophecy"{{sfn|Gardell|2003|pp=381–382}} and was fundamental Wotanism (with "88 Lines and 14 Words" being a supplement to 88 Precepts). 1488 is a combination of 14 as in Lane's Fourteen Words and [[88 (number)#In white nationalism|88]], a white nationalist/supremacist abbreviation for "[[Nazi salute|Heil Hitler]]."<ref>{{Cite news |date=May 30, 2007 |title=David Lane, White Supremacist Terrorist and Ideologue, Dies in Prison |url=https://www.adl.org/news/article/david-lane-white-supremacist-terrorist-and-ideologue-dies-in-prison |access-date=November 18, 2019 |work=[[Anti-Defamation League]] |language=en-US}}</ref>
