'''Armanism''' and '''Ariosophy''' are the names of two esoteric systems, pioneered by [[Guido von List]] and [[Jörg Lanz von Liebenfels]] respectively, in Austria between 1890 and 1930, concerning the argued [[esoteric]] and [[occult]] wisdom of ancient [[Aryans]] ([[Indo-Europeans]]).

==History==
Lanz initially used the terms "Theozoology" and "Ario-Christianity" for his system. The term '''Ariosophy''' ("wisdom of the [[Aryans]]" or "Aryan spirituality") is, besides referring specifically to the system developed by Lanz, also often used as a general term for both this system and Armanism and related later esoteric systems. List called his system Armanism after the Armanen, an argued body of priest-kings in the ancient Aryo-Germanic nation. His conception of the original Aryo-Germanic religion was a form of sun worship. Religious instruction is argued to have been imparted on two levels. The esoteric doctrine (Armanism) was concerned with the secret mysteries reserved for the initiated elite, while the exoteric doctrine (Wotanism) took the form of popular myths intended for the lower social classes. List’s system has been described as gnostic, pantheist and deist.
