Herman Wirth
Decades before mainstream science rediscovered his ideas, co-founder of the Ahnenerbe society Herman Wirth proposed that all Indo-European religions share a common basis in the astronomical calendar. This groundbreaking work of comparative mythology postulates that the ancient Nordic calendar represented the same principles of cosmic order on which all other pagan religions were based, and which may thus be understood as a “pre-scientific technical language” of metaphysical spirituality. Work in progress.
