The difference in the orientation of swastikas (facing right or left) is mainly related to the cultural tradition and context in which they are used. The right-facing swastika is most commonly associated with Nazism and its ideals of racial supremacy and genocide. The left-facing swastika, like the one used by the Thule Society, has a different historical association and can be found in other cultural contexts, such as in some forms of Hinduism and Buddhism.
Other books followed, but it was The Secret Doctrine that established itself as his greatest literary work. Originally composed of two volumes, the work is intended to be "a synthesis of current scientific, philosophical and religious thought".
The first volume studies the evolution of the universe, while the second looks at the origin and evolution of humanity. E
this is where the ideas that inspired the Nazis in their search for the perfect blood are to be found.
Basically, the book talks about the so-called root races that evolve with each "round of a globe", in other words, with each period of evolution of a planet. In each "round" seven "sub-races" emerge, derived from the root race. In the current period, we have the following races already identified:
Mindless or self-born: a race that emerged approximately 300 million years ago and lived on a continent identified as "The Sacred and Imperishable Island". Its components would be immense and have neither physical bodies nor minds, being ethereal creatures.
Its reproduction would occur like that of amoebas, by cisiparity. Because it wasn't mortal, it didn't disappear but became the next race. Boneless or born of sweat: a race of beings who lived on a continent called Hyperborea. They have a rudimentary mind, but have yet to demonstrate a connection between spirit and matter. When they finished their period of evolution, they became the next race. This and the previous one would be the Semi-divine Races. Lemiruana or egg-born: a race that lives on a continent called Lemuria. They were initially hermaphroditic and reproduced through an egg that came out of their bodies. During their evolution they went through great changes and, in the end, they became mortal and consolidated their bodies. became mortal and consolidated their physical body and their system of sexual reproduction. They became the next race.
Atlanteans: giants who lived 18 million years ago in Atlantis. They were the first people who could be called men. They are the mid-point of evolution in the current round. When Atlantis was destroyed by the cataclysm that dragged it to the bottom of the sea, its survivors founded the next race. the bottom of the sea, its survivors founded the next race.
Aryan: a race that would include the Hindus, Persians, Egyptians, Greeks and Europeans. Blavatsky describes it as follows as follows:
"The Aryan races, for example, vary from the swarthy, almost black, to the lightest, and yet they are all of the same
group (...), all coming from the same progenitor (...), who would have lived about 18 million years ago, and also about
850,000 years ago, at the time of the sinking of the great continent of Atlantis."
The Aryans have thus existed on Earth for around a million years.
Sixth: a race that would have originated from the evolution of the previous one and that would begin to develop, according to Blavatsky, from the United States. the United States. Thus, by the end of this round, two more races should emerge from the sixth. Only then will this period of evolution come to end. These same concepts were brought to the attention of the Nazis by a key figure in the esotericism that predominated at that time, called Guido Von at the time, called Guido Von List.
Runes: the last name to be mentioned in this introduction is that of Von List, who was a poet, journalist, writer and businessman, among other things. businessman, among other things. But his name will forever be marked in history as the occultist and völkisch author (a populist movement focussed on German folklore), as well as a "runesopher" (a kind of philosopher of the runes). He is the author of a book called Das Geheimnis der Runen (The Secret of the Runes), a detailed study of the Armanen Futharkh (or Germanic Runes).
