Peryt Shou’s Esoteric Principles

Peryt Shou and Modern Germanic Runology

In 1920, Albert Christian Georg Schultz aka Peryt Shou published The ‘Edda’ as Key to the Coming Age! [Die “Edda” als Schlussel des kommenden Weltalters! ]. In it, he tries to highlight some similarities between Christianity and Germanic Mythology.

Quoting from the section ‘The new God-Experience [Das neue Gotterleben] ’:

“Christ, and Christianity, have led the World to Destruction, to Death. Wuotan, the Awakening-One, on the Cross (of the World-Tree) will lead it back to Resurrection. Certainly the World had to die, like him, but it also has to reawaken — as he did, in a higher Transformation [Verwandlung].

The germanic Spirit (Edda “Hávamál”) predicted this long before there was a historical Christianity. Christianity led humanity to death. This is what has happened. And with him, Christianity killed itself too, succumbing to “the Lord of this World”! The christian Nations had to experience what is happening to them today, Death and Decay on the Cross. But in their second Mission, the Edda sees the Nations descend from the World-Tree (Cross), called to new Life, rejuvenated!

Here the Blood, the vibrating Crystal Within, takes on a certain Role! But it should be mentioned that what is “Germanic” in the rebirth is different from what is Germanic in decay and defeat —a drunken self-aggrandizement to some kind of blood-related privileged “caste” among humanity. Even the Botocuds [an indigenous South American tribe] think of themselves as Racially superior to all others. Through the divine drop of Blood in our veins we are a Flock of God. But woe unto those who would make this divine drop of blood bestial, who would blind the visionary Crystal, the eye of God, in our veins!

The new World will only shine for the “Visionaries”, not for the “Blind”, even if they will rule equally for a while! They will die and disappear. The Visionaries, however, will remain, for they shall return. The Runic-Magic of Wuotan, which allows for his Resurrection, is a Blood-Mystery…

Every great Cultural-Nation has its Vocation/Calling in Blood and Spirit, which in all cases Exemplifies the Modification of the single great World-Secret, and through this modification it establishes its most holy Traditions. But we do not know how far each of them has fallen away from, and has ruined, the divine Crystal of the Blood to the point where it is impossible to recognize [Unkenntlichkeit ].”

In the section of his book called ‘The Tabernacle of the new Will’, he explains a concept that he calls the “new Will [neue Wille ]”, associating it with some of Nietzsche’s and Schopenhauer’s writings, saying:

“If we follow the way of the Edda, there is one kind of Need [Not ] that we suffer through blindly and another kind that we suffer through while seeing; this is a divine Need [Not ], which leads to Salvation [Erlösung ].

Why doesn’t it work in time? Why doesn’t this victorious one descend from the cross?

The Edda gives the answer. Certainly, the one hanging on the World-Tree (Cross) will come after the Nine Nights…

He will awaken all Peoples to the Need that has gloomily and mortifyingly seized them.

He will project his divine, glaring light into the general state of suffering, by means of a holy operation: “Bow down Wuotan and ‘pick-up [nimm ]’ the Need-Rune.”

Then within thyself will be ignited the higher Will, the new Will, that shall be born into humanity, that all of a sudden unfolds itself in you and turns the Need:

“When ye shall be those who Yearn with a single Will and when this Turning of all Need is also something which is a Necessity.” [Nietzsche]

These words by Nietzsche are actually a call in the direction of the new Volition [neuen Wollens ], but … this does not come from the intellect, not from beautiful Words, but rather from harmonization with this Will itself…

The new Will-Impulse [neuen Willensimpuls ] must be embodied/incarnated [verkörpern ]; it means the Turning of all Adversity [Wende aller Not ]:

“O, Thou, my Will, Turn every Need [Wende aller Not ]” (Nietzsche)

But this Will is not the passionate craving of the masses for whatever sort of material pleasures, but it really is – Will.

And woe unto whosoever does not obey it!

This is how the new Will Flows-Through or Permeates [Durchströmung ] into Humanity.

Liberation [Lösung ] from the stunted, egotistical Self-Will can only be achieved through Suffering [Leiden ] and through Hardship [Not ].

Humanity is blind until it lives in the new Will!

According to Nietzsche, the eternally Ascending, the eternally Powerful lies in the Will itself!

…this Will functions in a wholesome manner… this is the prototypical language of a Cosmic-Community of all conscious beings.

Precisely because Will is not Craving, nor Desire, but instead is a constructive Force in the Universe (see Schopenhauer, The World as Will and Imagination [Die Welt als Wille und Vorstelung] [1859]), it works in a divine way.

In a secret Prototypical-Language, in its “Runes”, this Cosmic-Will [Welt-Wille ] speaks in an ascending way out of Need and Death [Not und Tod ] and Mud, and it is stronger than anything else for the one who knows these Characters [Zeichen], and who stands there in the Tabernacle of the new Will.”

Again, for Shou, this ‘new Will’ [neuen Willens ] is not Craving or Desire, but a “constructive Force in the Universe” that “works in a Divine way…”
