to the weal through their care in universal course, what is visible and soon hidden, whence they led the imagination of mankind polar in change-play, from UR to SUN in sacrificial service of waxing and waning, in holy fire Santur is ambiguously spent in sparks, but turns victorious to blessing"
Karl Maria Wiligut aka Weisthor
These confused and almost incomprehensible verses are supposed to stress that Santur would be a burnt-out sun and the source of power of the Hyperboreans. These were purportedly the ancestors of Germanic tribes living in the North Pole, when its climate was mild and its landscapes were green. Hyperborea had its capital city, Thule, and was once identified with Iceland. Furthermore Santur allegedly still orbits in the vicinity of our planet as a Black Sun and sends powerful hidden energy. The latter recalls the Nemesis hypothesis and the invisible creative energy that a Black Sun is supposed to radiate.
The Vienna Circle – In the 4th district of Wieden in Vienna, Austria, ex-Waffen-SS Wilhelm Landig founded a group in 1950 called the Vienna Circle or, after him, the Landig Group. The group gathered the first time at Landig's apartment and held discussion on esoteric and völkisch (nationalist and racialist) mysticism. They revived and promoted the mythology of Hyperborea which was, as we saw, allegedly the home of the Aryans' ancestors in the Arctic.
Wilhelm Landig
According to Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke (Black Sun, Esoteric Nazism and the Politics of Identity, 2002), the Landig group invented the concept of the Black Sun that flourished in neo-Nazi groups during the 1990s. It was through Wilhelm Landig's own novels that this Nazi revival was made possible. He wrote for this purpose a trilogy: Götzen gegen Thule, Rebellen für Thule and Wolfszeit um Thule.
Erich Halik, a prominent member of the Vienna Circle, was the first to link the esotericism of the inner SS elite with the Black Sun concept, but not yet to the Wewelsburg symbol. Landig called the Black Sun "a substitute Swastika and mystical source of energy, capable of regenerating the Aryan race." The visible sun would be merely a symbol of an invisible anti-sun: "Everything that can be comprehended by human senses is material, the shadow of the invisible spiritual light. The material fire is – seen in this way – also just the shadow of the spiritual fire."
Landig revived old völkisch pseudo-scientific theories about Atlantis, Hörbiger's Hollow Earth and Aryan mysticism. In his trilogy, he locates in the Arctic the Aryan positive forces of the Black Sun, which according to him is represented by a disk that is not black, but of a deep purple that will turn white when Germany eventually overcomes this titanic world struggle. Interestingly enough, Landig states that the Black Sun refers to the Babylonian religion, which in turn would come from the Aldebaran star, which "shines within us and gives us the power of understanding." For Landig, the Black Sun is the symbol for an esoteric order inside the SS, and it "shines above the Midnight Mountain an invisible light because it shines within." The Midnight Mountain seems to be present in the myths of different people throughout the globe like the Chinese and the Indians, the latter calling it Mount Meru.
Furthermore, Landig circulated stories about Nazi flying saucers assembled in an underground base in Antarctica (see Neuschwabenland expedition), from which US Admiral Byrd could not extirpate them.
The Black Sun of Tashi Lhunpo (Die schwarze Sonne von Tashi Lhunpo) is an occult Nazi thriller written in 1991 by Russel McCloud, a pen name for Stephan Mögle-Stadel. It tells of the assassinations of the president of the European Bank and a leading member of the UN Security Council, which are linked by a brand mark of the symbol of the Black Sun on the foreheads of the victims. This is the very first time that the symbol of the Sun Wheel, as found at the Wewelsburg castle, is linked
