Much of it is an artificial creation. You know, you have to decide upon some sort of standard dialect. Okay, we'll decide what that is. You know, often dialect that only a few people actually speech, and then they will be drilled into children's heads through state schooling programs. So I think this is the kind of milieu that it comes out of.

People were trying to figure out what on earth Germans actually were, and the need for some sort of common identity. And, you know, that leads to everything like Wagnerian opera. Richard Wagner wanted to create a German mythical music. So he went back and strip mined old German myths and cobbled them together into a lot of people standing on stage singing. And that was his purpose.

He was a nationalist. He was in many ways a kind of racialist nationalist. And this was his idea of trying to create, out of bits and pieces of the past, a newfangled form of German identity. So, on the more mystical end of this, you had the ideas that, well, Germany must have been created for some special purpose because the Germans must be very special people.

And we must have some sort of particular destiny. And then out of this, you know, the direction this is heading, well, we're all part of some sort of master race with some sort of ties to some sort of great civilization in the past. Call it Thule, call it whatever you want to be. They basically just invent things. and try to attach those to the past.

And so, Ariosophy was the Aryanized version of Theosophy. And what this did was to take the idea that spiritual and physical evolution had led to the most advanced form of human beings, which were the Aryans, and the most advanced group of them were, of course, the Germans. And this attracted appeal. Keep in mind, again, this was not a mass movement. This was very much a fringe movement.

Most people weren't aware of it and weren't particularly interested in it. But it had an appeal for those who already had a kind of esoteric bent in some form or another. And this is where things like the German order and their other groups, it was only one of many, sort of grew out of.
