A staunch anti-Semite and critic of organized religion, she founded the "Bund für Deutsche Gotteserkenntnis" (Society for the Knowledge of a German God), a pseudo-religious organization promoting a Germanic spirituality divorced from Christianity, which she viewed as a Jewish imposition.

Ludendorff's system emphatically rejects alien religions imposed on Nordic/Aryan peoples, viewi...

  Table of Contents ### Why Mathilde Ludendorff's Philosophy Rejects Miracles: A Rational Path to Divine Cognition Mathilde Ludendorff's *Triumph of the Immortal Will* (1924) presents a philosophical system that seeks to reconcile human existence with a profound sense of the divine, grounded in scientific insight and evolutionary history. Her "God-Cognisance" (Gotterkenntnis) is not a faith-based creed but a cognition derived from reason, intuition, and empirical observation, emphasizing humanity's unique role as the potential consciousness of God. Central to this philosophy is a rejection of miracles—supernatural interventions defying natural laws—as incompatible with her worldview. Miracles, in Ludendorff's thinking, represent remnants of primitive superstition, alien religious fraud, and a misunderstanding of causality, time, and space. They undermine the autonomous human will to achieve perfection and immortality through "God-living" (Gotterlebe...
