The Black Sun of the Armanen

Guido von List discusses the concept of the Black Sun in some detail in The Religion of the Ario-Germanic Volk, which shows the concept of the Black Sun to be an extremely important aspect of the Armanen tradition.

"The sign of the empty circle is Ur, the unrevealed god, while the sign of the circle with the point in the middle designates God revealed in matter (First Logos). ⊙ is therefore not the sun as such, but rather it is the God revealed as the First Logos, as Father-Mother and as All-Father, merely whose symbol is the sun. For this reason the high holy Acht has two signs for it: ⊙ for the sun and ⊚ for the spiritual sun, the primeval fire (Urfyr), God, or All-Father; in secret scriptures it is also called Psychelia, the Divine Sun."

Rudolf John Gorsleben wrote of the Inner Black Sun:

"We all see the sun and feel light and warmth that emanate from it. But that is not all. The sun also sends out energies that are beyond that which physics can explore, which speak of ultraviolet rays. From the inner sun, which is the inner star, the image and symbol of which is the exterior sun and star, the same as the body alone is not the human being, pours down to us love and wisdom. Whoever could succeed to perceive with his consciousness the over-sensory powers and streams of the sun, he would become a wise one and leader of this earth... the Druids... recognized the above sensory qualities of the sun, that has effect when the sensory characteristics of the sun are abstracted. In the sun, the Inner Sun, they recognized the Son of God in Spirit. In their wisdom the ancient myth of the Sun-Son, of the Krist-All-Son was preserved from Atlantean times, it was inherited by the initiates of the whole world, which fertilized the earth during the time of the Aryan wave of peoples. (Krist-All/"Crystal" = the Krist/Christos-Universe)."

Gorsleben further wrote of "...the sun as representative of the spiritual sun, which is behind it, of the spiritual Krist-All! They were worshippers of the Spirit-Sun, these sons of Aar, the 'Ars'." This answer's the question regarding Karl Spiesberger's speculation that the runic energies could be solar in origin. They are not physically solar, but rather they are the Od/Vril energies which comes from the Black-Sun behind the Golden-Sun.

The adepts of the solar cult always had in mind a second sun, the mystic one that mages and alchemists have called the 'Black-Sun'... the earth, like the others, would be transformed into a new sun after it had finished its development... the visible sun of our ancestors was not the center and father of the other planets: it was only one emanation of the Central Sun, the fabled "Black Sun." Only this last sun was the invisible and spiritual source of celestial mechanics: a true energy center of condensed spirituality to which the heart's emanations ultimately return... The Black Sun is the principle energy source of the Logos.
