Rudolf John Gorsleben (1883-1930) was a German Ariosophist, Armanist (practitioner of Armanen runes), journalist and playwright. This, his major work, mixes Germanic folklore, occultism and theosophy with racial discrimination in extreme, with a lacing of a blend of Christianity and Nordic tradition.
