Ostara (magazine) Totally Explained

Everything about Ostara Magazine totally explained

The magazine Ostara or Ostara, Briefbücherei der Blonden und Mannesrechtler, (in English: Ostara, newsletter of the blonde and masculinists) was founded in 1905 by the occultist Lanz von Liebenfels in Vienna. "The Ostara pamphlets promoted an occult world view, based on a grotesque racial struggle, begun in a remote past." Lanz named his magazine after the hypothetical goddess "Ostara" based on Bede's statement that the Old English tribes named Easter after a goddess named Eostre. Lanz claimed that this goddess was called Ostara by other tribes and that the Ostrogoths and the nation of Austria (German: Österreich) were matronymically named after this goddess. In his study of Lanz von Liebenfels, the Austrian psychologist Wilfried Daim states about the later claim: "Most likely this is even greater nonsense."
   According to von Liebenfels, the magazine had a peak circulation of 100,000. The magazine appeared in 3 Series. The first series included 100 (or 89 ?) issues between 1905 and 1917. The 2nd series had only one issue. The 3rd series included 20 issues between 1927 and 1930.
   It was said that this magazine was read by Adolf Hitler, though upon annexing Austria, he'd von Liebenfels' work banned. Dietrich Eckart was a subscriber.
   The ideals promoted by Ostara were influenced by theosophic ideas.
