Biography
His written work stems from that order's understanding of the runes and Guido von List as Spiesberger was a proponent of the Armanen Runes. Spiesberger's works were always cast in the 18 rune Futharkh (the Armanen Runes) as originally envisioned by Guido von List and magically developed by Siegfried Adolf Kummer. The Armanen runes (or Armanen Futharkh as List called them) are a row of 18 runes closely based on the Younger Futhark invented by, or according to his claim revealed to, the Austrian occult mysticist and Germanic revivalist Guido von List in 1902. ...

Spiesberger is well known as the single most important person to revive Germanic mysticism after the second world war, including the Armanen Runes and the Pendulum. The Armanen runes (or Armanen Futharkh as List called them) are a row of 18 runes closely based on the Younger Futhark invented by, or according to his claim revealed to, the Austrian occult mysticist and Germanic revivalist Guido von List in 1902. ...

Due to the National Socialist suppression and imprisonment of "non-authorised" or "non-officially sanctioned" occulitic/runic Germanic mysticists and revivalists and their respective organisations during the Third Reich (see Nazi mysticism) there is an air of "guilt by association" in the minds of not in the know spectators of the mystico-magical and Nazism. This view has spawned "hate laws" in certain countries in the using of runes and certain ancient and sacral symbols. And, in the years immediately after the Second World War, and to some extent continuing to the present day, the runes were so closely associated with the Nazis that the use and discussion of them in academic as well as esoteric circles was hampered by adverse public opinion. Those of the old rune magicians and occultists who had survived the war in Germany, slowly began to make their way back to their work, and new voices were also heard. The best known of these new voices was Spiesberger. To meet Wikipedias quality standards and to make a clear distinction between fact and fiction, this article may require cleanup. ...

After the war he also wrote Der erfolgreiche Pendel-Praktiker [2] published in 1963. Although still far more readily available in its original German text, it is now also available in its 1989 English translation entitled Reveal the Power of the Pendulum[3].
In his book about pendulum dowsing, he refers to the Odic force. Also called Od [õd] and Odyle, Odic Force is the 19th century name given to a hypothetical vital energy or life force that proponents say permeates all living plants, animals, and humans. ...
Like most authors on esoteric or magical subjects, he presents a mixture of the old with some original innovations of his own. To some extent the innovations may have been drawn from the eclectic teachings of the Fraternitas Saturni. What Spiesberger essentially tried to do was remove the "racist" aspects of the Armanic and Marbyan rune work and place the whole system in a pansophical, or eclectic, context.
To Guido von List, Friedrich Bernhard Marby and Siegfried Adolf Kummer the runes represent the key to esoteric understanding. To Spiesberger, they were just one more tool to be used by any individual magician. To meet Wikipedias quality standards, this article or section may require cleanup. ...
