Guido von List Home

Guido Karl Anton List, better known as Guido von List (October 5, 1848 , in Vienna, – May 17, 1919, in Berlin), was a highly respected Austrian/German (Viennese) poet, journalist, writer, businessman and dealer of leather goods, mountaineer, hiker, dramatist, playwright, and rower, but was most notable as an occultist and völkisch author who is seen as one of the most important figures in Germanic revivalism, Germanic mysticism, Runic Revivalism and Runosophy in the late 19th century and early 20th century, and continues to be so today.

He is the author of Das Geheimnis der Runen (The Secret of the Runes), which is a detailed study of the Armanen Futharkh, his intellectual world-view (as realised in the years between 1902 and 1908), an introduction to the rest of his work and is widely regarded as the pioneering work of Runology in modern occultism of which Dr. Stephen E. Flowers Ph.D. has stated in his introduction to the English translation that "The runes became the cornerstone of List's ideology, and no other work so clearly and simply outlines his ideas on them."
