Topic: Germanic race

Language: An Introduction to the Study of Speech Celtic and most of the Germans of to-day are Germanic precisely as the American Negro, Americanized Jew, Minnesota Swede, and German-American are “English.” But, secondly, the Baltic race was, and is, by no means an exclusively Germanic-speaking people. Races intermingle in a way that languages do not. The very fact that races and cultures which are brought into historical contact tend to assimilate in the long run, while neighboring languages assimilate each other only casually and in superficial respects, 15 indicates that there is no profound causal relation between the development of language and the specific development of race and of culture. http://www.bartleby.com/186/10.html      Aryan race - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The "Aryan race" is a concept in European culture that was influential in the period of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. During the 19th century, it was commonly believed that the Aryan race originated in the southwestern steppes of present-day Russia, and including the Caucasus Mountains. It was widely believed that the Vedic Aryans were ethnically identical to the Goths, Vandals and other ancient Germanic peoples of the Völkerwanderung. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aryan_race   (1392 words)      Rocket in the Bocket: Does America need a Confessing Church? The German Christians said that to segregate defilers from the pure race is an expression of Godly love to the segregated race. They believed that the focus of the Christian Church should be on Christ and not the formation of a nation. Most Christians believed that the Reich was putting the Christian faith into political practice. http://rocketinthebocket.blogspot.com/2005/05/does-america-need-confessing-church.html   (4834 words)      Aryan race - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The idea of the "Aryan race", however, as a strictly ethnic intepretation of the word that extended to Europeans, arose when linguists identified the Avestan and Sanskrit language as the oldest known relatives of all the major European languages, including Latin, Greek, the Germanic, Celtic and Slavic languages. During the 19th century, it was commonly believed that the Aryan race originated in the southwestern steppes of present-day Russia, what was formerly a part of Persia, and including the Caucasus Mountains. Blavatsky used the term " Root Race " mainly as a technical term to describe the large time periods in her cosmology. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aryan_race   (4834 words)      Root Races In Theosophy and in Anthroposophy In the present 'Root Race' the first Sub-Race was the ancient Indian, followed by the ancient Persian, then the Egypto-Chaldean followed by the Greco-Roman and then the present Anglo-Germanic. The human race at present on earth; the fifth root-race on this globe D in the fourth round originated from the seed-race of the middle fourth root-race and as the ages passed began to occupy the lands which have since gradually taken form in our present continental distribution. The symbol of the fifth or Aryan race is "that which is its most sacred symbol to this day, the bull (and the cow)" (SD 2:533). http://www.defendingsteiner.com/misconceptions/r-race.php   (2680 words)      Aryan race: Information From Answers.com The idea of the "Aryan race" arose when linguists identified the Avestan and Sanskrit (ancient languages of Persia and Northern India, respectively) as the oldest known relatives of all the major European languages, including Latin, Greek, and all Germanic, Celtic and Slavic languages. The phrase Aryan race is sometimes used to translate Old Persian inscriptions and other Persian sources from c. Contemporary anthropologists who believe in the existence of an ancient Aryan race generally have the opinion that its closest descendants today are the Persians or Iranians and Afghans, not the Europeans or the Germans; so possibly the Ossetes and Slavs, but certainly not the Nordic race with which they were equated in Nazi ideology. http://www.answers.com/topic/aryan-race   (2680 words)      Newsletter no 15 (Vol II, no 3) - April 1996 They were attacked by the traditionalists in the Confessing Church for having sold out the Gospel by advocating such non-biblical criteria as blood and race. These "storm-troopers of Jesus Christ" sought to keep alive the memories of their comradeship from the first world war, saw the Nazi movement as a continuation of masculine revival, deplored the effeminateness of much church life, and tried to persuade more men to return to the church. Even on the battlefield, the soldiers turned to an older tradition of folk-religion or fatalism; at home some of their relatives turned to spiritualism to retain their contact with the newly dead. http://www.calvin.edu/academic/cas/akz/akz9604.htm   (2117 words)      Vanguard News Network Forum - Christian influence on Celtic and Germanic heathenism In fact it is Christians who have transferred all the myths of the Germanic race largely because Germanic heathens both relied on oral traditions and were largely illiterate before conversion. Germanic experts Richard Fetcher, Peter Sawyer and Hida Roderick Davidson all agree that all we know of Germanic heathenism is derived from Christians like Snorri Sturluson, Saxo Grammaticus, and itranslaters Magnus Magnusson, Hermann Palsson. Richard Fletcher in his The Barbarian Conversion: From Paganism to Christianity, notes that we know very little about Germanic paganism(or paganism in general outside the Greeco-Roman religion) and thus its hard to tell what exactly the pagans converted from. http://www.vnnforum.com/printthread.php?t=12919   (2117 words)      A Tribute to Hinduism When in 1924 Hitler wrote in his Mein Kampf, “The Aryan alone can be considered as the founder of culture….a conqueror who subjugated inferior races,” he was merely echoing and amplifying dozens of nineteenth-century savants who had written as many thick tomes to buttress their fantasy. Year after year, raging debates went on across borders to determine which European people was the true descendent of the Aryan “master-race,” and therefore which nation could claim a divine right to dominate others. This primitive Aryan language indicated that there was an Aryan race, the common ancestor of Germans, Celts, Romans, Slavs, Greeks, Persians, and Hindus.” Yet, stresses Synder, “all attempts to correlate the Aryan language with the Aryan race was not only unsuccessful, but absurd. http://www.atributetohinduism.com/articles_aryan_invasion_theory/21.htm   (2117 words)      nazis.htm Aryan Nations, which also calls itself the Church of Jesus Christ Christian, begins its web site by proclaiming "Praise Yahweh" and its intention to "serve the Lord of Glory and His Holy Race". White Aryans, Hitler writes, are the special creations of God, the "highest image of the Lord", put here specifically to rule over the "subhuman" races: "Human culture and civilization on this continent are inseparably bound up with the presence of the Aryan. Hitler's goal was the "purification" of the "Aryan race" through the elimination of "subhumans", which included Jews, gypsies, Asians, black Africans, and everyone else who was not a white Aryan. http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Hangar/2437/nazis.htm   (2117 words)      Nordic theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Nordic race was thought to be prevalent in northern Europe, especially among speakers of the Germanic languages, and was characterized by tall stature, long head- and facial form, blond hair and blue eyes. Nordic theory (or Nordicism) was a theory of race prevalent in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Among many white supremacists in Europe and the USA, the Nordic race came to be thought of as the most advanced of human population groups, hence its equation in Nazi ideology with the so-called Aryan master race. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_race   (2117 words)      Peter Staudenmaier and the Invention of the Nordic-Germanic Sub-Race That is, Steiner refers on a very few occasions to certain cultural aspects of the Nordic-Germanic peoples, but never identifies them as a race or sub-race, and never speaks of any racial element at all. "...Steiner's further claim that - in yet another remarkable coincidence - the most advanced group within the Aryan root race is currently the nordic-germanic sub-race." (Peter Staudenmaier - Anthroposophy and Ecofascism) A check with the Rudolf Steiner Nachlassverwaltung (his publisher in German) confirms it; the phrase "nordic-germanic sub-race" appears nowhere in the complete works. http://www.defendingsteiner.com/misconceptions/nordic-germanic.php   (2117 words)      Shiri (race) Definition / Shiri (race) Research Shiri are an elf-like race who live in certain parts of FaerieIn mythology and in fiction, Faerie (also Faery) is an otherworldly realm, home to the Fae or fairies.

The Brünn race exists in relatively 'pure' form only in western Ireland, and therefore this is the type which many have come to associate with the Irish. According to Coon, the modern Nordic race evolved from a cross between the ancient Danubian culture bearers and the warlike Corded or Battle-axe people, though it is likely that the Danubians have had immensely more to say in this development than the latter. http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Thebes/8250/TheNordishRa.html   (2117 words)      Master race - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The master race (German: Herrenrasse, Herrenvolk) is a concept in Nazi ideology, which holds that the Germanic and Nordic people represent an ideal and "pure race". The origins of the Nazi version of the theory of the master race were in 19th century racial theories of Count Arthur de Gobineau, who argued that cultures degenerate when distinct races mix. Building from Nietzsche (but altering his concepts), Rosenberg claimed that Christianity was an alien Semitic slave-morality inappropriate to the warrior Aryan master race. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_race   (2117 words)      Nordic theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Nordic race was thought to be prevalent in northern Europe, especially among speakers of the Germanic languages, and was characterized by tall stature, long head- and facial form, blond hair and blue eyes.

The Mediterranean race was thought to be prevalent in southern Europe and, sometimes, parts of North Africa, and was characterised by dark hair and swarthy complexion (according to some theorists of this period this was due to racial mixing with African peoples). http://www.kernersville.us/project/wikipedia/index.php/Nordic_race   (2117 words)      German Christians - definition of German Christians in Encyclopedia The group were supportive of the Nazi ideas about race and adopted Martin Luther's anti-Semitism, as well as his respect for state authority.

The German specialists in the field of dermatoglyphics (the science of determining races and nationalities with the aid of finger prints) referred to the Soviet scientists P. Semyonovsky and M. Volozky. From this point of view, the infamous concept of "the biological superiority of the Nordic race" reaches the status of academic fact - all achieved by "the leading Soviet science" that was supposedly serving the ideals of "all progressive humanity." http://forum.skadi.net/showthread.php?t=28057   (771 words)      indo-hephthalite Indo-Germanic race Indo-Germanic race Indo-Greek Indo-Greek Kingdom Indo-Greek ruler Indo-Greeks Indo-Hephthalite Indo-Hephthalites Indo-Hittite Indo-Hittite Indo-Hittite Indo-Hittite languages Indo-Iranian Indo...

Although they understand that pride in heritage and reverence of ancestors is a vital part of Germanic Paganism, they welcome anyone inspired by the Germanic gods to attend their rituals, regardless of their "race". Representatives of folkish groups will state that they are not racist; they believe that people of all races, cultures, and religions are equally worthy of respect. http://www.wyrdwords.vispa.com/heathenry/groups.html   (771 words)      Folkish or universalistic To allege, all Folkish followers of Asatru are racists would not be correct, however, there are many followers who see concepts as 'Germanic descent' and 'European descent' as synonyms for concepts like 'white race', and then one is already in a racist area. The practice inside the Asatru community to investigate, whether one has possibly Germanic ancestors, may be of importance for folkish Asatruar, for Asatru, being a modern religion, it isn't at all. The concept folkish itself originally means 'popular or commonly', later it was used in the sense of 'nationality' and by the National-Socialists (Nazis), the emphasis lay and lies in its use on 'people and 'race'. http://www.boudicca.de/folkuni.html   (771 words)      Chapter XII The Nordic race ideal naturally meets with most attention among those peoples which to-day still have a strong strain of Nordic blood, of whom some are even still very predominantly Nordic -- that is, among the peoples of Germanic speech in Europe and North America. Since the end of last century we can, as was said above, even speak of a growing interest in race questions, although we cannot yet speak of a spread of clear ideas. Count Gobineau, too, was the first to see that, through the mixture of the Nordic with other races, the way was being prepared for what to-day (with Spengler) is called the 'Fall of the West'. http://www.white-history.com/earlson/hfk/reoehchap12.htm   (771 words)      Master Race Theme @ HillCountryArts.com (Hill Country Arts) To maintain the purity of the Germanic master race, eugenics was practised. It derives from nineteenth century racial theory, which posited a hierarchy of "races" placing African Bushmen and Indigenous Australians at the bottom of the hierarchy while white, West Europeans were at the top. While the phrase itself is seldom used in these cases, the inhumane and barbaric treatment of those not belonging to the "master race" in the fictional fascisms seems to imply that such an ideology is present. http://www.hillcountryarts.com/encyclopedia/Master_race   (605 words)      Dan Wyman Books Antisemitica If once [sic] this 'race' were decisively defeated, the Germanic 'race' would be free to realize its own divinely appointed destiny--which was to create a new, radiant world, transfused with a noble spirituality and mysteriously combining modern technology and science with the rural, hierarchical culture of earlier times. He wrote the 2 volume "Foundation of the 19th Century," a work Norman Cohn called "[The] Bible of the whole voelkisch-racist movement." Chamberlain characterized the Teutons as the race of creative culture, a race that would be responsible for the defending of Christian culture from the influences of Judaism. ' In Chamberlain's view the Jewish 'race' had been relentlessly striving, down the ages, to secure absolute dominion over all other nations. http://www.danwymanbooks.com/fearthejew.htm   (10374 words)      [WWI-L:50312] Book review: "German Myths in the German Kaiserreich" More convincing is the transition Kipper traces from a national-liberal view of the Germanic past to a more directly _voelkisch_ perspective in the early years of the Kaiserreich. These figures solidified a view of Germanic prehistory that emphasized race, ethnic conflict, and cultural survival. All those tendencies that erupted after 1933, Kipper concludes, could be found in the _Kaiserreich_, even if the struggle to define the Germanic past had not yet been lost. http://www.ku.edu/carrie/archives/wwi-l/2004/06/msg00043.html   (10374 words)      Parsifal and Race Gobineau believed that there had been a superior race, which he labelled as "Germanic" but not as "German"; he thought the English were "Germanic" while the Germans were a bastard mixture of Celtic and other supposedly inferior racial elements. Gobineau's negative assessment of the Germans, Wagner explained in Herodom and Christendom that he did not agree that there was, or had ever been, a superior race, a race of heroes; one that had fallen out of the sky, perhaps, or descended from gods. Gobineau and Wagner in 1881 and 1882, Gutman developed an elaborate theory of the genesis of Parsifal. http://home.c2i.net/monsalvat/racism.htm   (10374 words)      Giant (mythology): Encyclopedia topic In Germanic mythologies (Germanic mythologies: germanic mythology is a comprehensive term for norse mythology, anglo-saxon mythology...
