The Germanic faith movement was a new ‘religious’ movement that formed in Germany in the 1930’s, primarily among NS party members who had left the churches and renounced the Christian faith.
The fundamental insight of those ex-priests and ministers who led the movement was that the divine element (or ‘God’) was to be found in ones own soul. No mediators were necessary to come into communion with this divine element; not the priests, not the Bible and not even the figure of Jesus himself. This ‘God’ was accessible too all who sought it because it dwelled in one’s own being.
This faith movement did not achieve popular support or or even receive privileged status from the government during its time. But a large majority of the educated and elite classes, as well as the most forward thinking members of the NS leadership, seemed to gravitate to it. The government listed these men and women as “God-believers” but it would be more accurate to say that they believed in themselves–in the deepest sense. They listened to the God in themselves. It was a God peculiar to their unique Germanic racial soul, and there found they found a truth more real than anything Christianity had to offer.
The writings of these men form the a large part of Volkish spirituality in our day. Unfortunately, much of what they wrote and said was lost or destroyed after the war (and there is much that hasn’t been translated into English). However, the texts attached below are a good introduction to their thought.
But even if everything they had written was lost, it would not have ultimately mattered. Because the truths they discovered can never be destroyed, as they live with us in our blood eternally.
