Nordic vegetarianism of H. Wirth
06:15Nordic vegetarianism of H. Wirth
At the
beginning of the 20th century, the
problem of the relationship between a man and nature has been extremely
relevant, because of the feeling of impending new mechanized urban world. Of
course, various neo-pagan formations were particularly worried about this
situation. In Germany it was "fölkishe" - people who are for a return
to a more natural way of life of a human, to the ground.
Dutch
scientist and occultist Herman Wirth, who in his 20 years moved in Germany, was
of use. Wirth was the first head of the "Ahnenerbe" (the name of the
organization was taken from Wirth’s Munich historical exhibition ). According
to his theory, the origins of mankind
are situated in the North of the Earth,
in the so-called Arctogaea, which, while being populated by powerful men, had a mild warm
climate. And that changes of natural conditions, forced its inhabitants to
scatter the rest of the globe and give a start to races and nations. It is
interesting, that powerful men of Arctogaea according to Wirth were vegetarians. With fertile soil and generous
warmth of the sun, they didn’t need, and even didn’t think about killing animals
for food. Thus, meat-eating is a consequence of a climate change that swept the
planet, and mixing with the bestial races, which migrating people of Arctogaea met in the south. According to
Wirth, the entire Nordic tradition has been distorted, perverted and
desacralized by racially impure descendants of the men of Arctogaea - religion, art, language, human relations,
including relations to nature and animals.
Wirth
followed the system of nutrition, which he called "nordic
vegetarianism", thus turning the Wheel of Time back to the ancestors of
the Aryan race, where there was no place for decline and degradation. It is
worth mentioning, that these views are also shared by another famous
vegetarian, Richard Wagner, who directly influenced Adolf Hitler's
vegetarianism.
Herman
Wirth also participated in the environmental education of the European youth, created
an organization "Landbond der Dietsche Trekvogels" in the Netherlands
- German analogue of the "Birds of Passage" (
"Wandervoegel"), where young men and women cultivated a love for the
native land, nature and folk traditions.
In
"The Golden Chain" Miguel Serrano describes the state of Wirth at the
time of his writings:
"Professor
Wirth is 94 years old, he has an amazing
memory, and he has just amazing mobility for his age. He knows and speaks more
than 8 languages, including Sanskrit, Arabic and, of course, Greek. He
considers the runes to be only fragments of the original, disappeared
language. He says that he has a good health only thanks to his vegetarian lifestyle
and thanks to eating plant food. "
