He also apparently is involved in gun running, which in revolutionary periods, there's a lot of money to be made off of that. So, he's connected to various... dark businesses in a tumultuous time with connections to politicized Freemasonry and the occult. Now, in the course of the First World War, he returns to Germany. He just shows up.
And it would be my operative suspicion or theory that Sibotendorf was working for someone. I don't think he just pops up in Munich on his own accord. Why does he leave the Ottoman Empire and return to that place?

Maybe someone, because he does seem to have money at his disposal. And he comes into Munich, and he basically takes over this small sort of occult study group. Now, the interesting thing is that the Thule Society is really just a branch of another existing, what's called an Areosophist Order. A thing called the German Order, or the Germanen Orden, which is centered in Berlin.

But for some reason, he doesn't want his group to be connected by name with the Germanen Orden. So Thule Society, Thule in this case is a reference to supposedly a mythical Arctic homeland of the Aryan race. Apparently they were all snow people who wandered out of the snow at some point. It's kind of like a frozen Atlantis.

So I mentioned these people, the Ariosophists, which is, you have to practice saying that. So what are they? Well, they're a kind of racist Germanic offshoot of theosophy. And I know I'm explaining one thing to explain something else, but there's no other way to do this.

So theosophy was 19th century, very popular and widely modeled occult belief that was founded by a Russian woman by the name of Helena Blavatsky. She was a medium, psychic. She supposedly got channelings from the ascended masters. The basic story there, they're all of the ascended masters, which are mystical beings that may or may not have once been human.

They live inside the Himalayas, or they float among them on a cloud, and they guide the spiritual evolution of humanity. What Blavatsky did was to take Western esotericism, and blend it with Hindu and Buddhist esotericism, which became very, very sexy in the West, still is.
