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>
